Complementing our digital marketing strategy is online tours, prominent signage, and property showings that go on every day of the week.

Accurate Tenant Screening
Our comprehensive tenant screening process includes extensive background checks that cover credit and law enforcement issues. We contact a prospective tenant’s current employer, as well as the most recent employer to determine whether a potential tenant is worthy of consideration. However, the most important piece of information during the tenant screening process is the feedback that we get from previous landlords. Not only do we want to know about fiscal responsibility, but we also want to know how a prospective tenant treated the previous rental unit. A tenant that is careless with your property and amenities is not a candidate to sign a long-term lease.
Our thorough screening process leads to lower eviction rates and longer-tenured tenants that pay their monthly rent on time.
Maintenance and Repairs for Less Stress at Less Cost
One of the reasons we have become a household name among rental property investors is because we give our clients more time to pursue other business interests that include investing in more rental properties. We manage all maintenance and repairs, including rent-ready updates and inspections. Our general contractor’s license allows us to complete most repair and maintenance projects for much less, with an available and knowledgeable in-house crew. Alternately, we lean on our vast network of independent contractors in Portland, whom we’ve learned to rely on for the best prices, quality work, and fast turnaround times. Our owners never have to deal with the headaches of working with repair people and fielding issues from tenants; we handle it all and save you money at the same time.
We take care of every move-in and move-out inspection, as well as provide you with a full account of every project that we complete by uploading the information to our online portal.
Handling all Accounting and Financial Responsibilities
Transparency is also important for our financial and accounting reports. We give our clients full access in real-time to every financial document that measures the success of their rental properties. Tenants love that they can pay rent online. We have a department dedicated to handling financial and accounting issues to seamlessly track income and expenses.
Having full access to your financial data allows you to review invoices and important tax documents. When you have a question, one of the members of our accounting department takes your phone call to provide answers.

As the largest city in Oregon, Portland earned the nickname “City of Rose” for brilliant floral displays that enhance the ambiance of the city. Nestled at the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette rivers, Portland is known throughout the United States and in many parts of the world for its parks, bridges, and bicycle paths. As the cultural hub of Portland, Washington Park is home to the Oregon Zoo and the formal Japanese Garden. Like its neighbor to the north, Seattle, Portland is known as a hotspot for budding artists and musicians.
The city attracts a wide variety of businesses because of its relatively low cost of living and quick access to some of the most spectacular vistas in North America. A short drive to Coos Bay welcomes the daily evening fog that produces a scene straight out of an Ansel Adams photograph. Majestic Mt. Hood and the volcanic wonder Crater Lake National Park provide both visitors and residents with plenty of things to do in the Great Outdoors.
The diverse economy includes one of the largest shipping dry docks in the United States. Portland’s main shipping terminal processes more than 13 million tons of cargo every year for destinations as far away as Asian ports and as close as California dry docks. However, technology is the sector that stirs the local economy. The high number of technology companies has created a second nickname for Portland: Silicon Forest.
