Property Management Tips – How to Master Managing Your Rentals 

Johana Williams By Johana Williams · Reviewed by Peter Evering ·Apr 2019 ·2 min read

It doesn’t matter if you’re managing your rental property yourself or you have a small management company managing those rentals for you, the key to success with managing rentals all comes from mastering certain aspect of property management which includes implementing the following services:  

Offer Your Tenants an Online Platform for Everything 

The first key element to mastering the management of your rentals is offering your tenants one online platform for everything including submitting repair requests, feedback, asking questions and paying rent. 

This step is important because having an online platform for your tenants will help you to have efficient communication with them while ensuring that there’s a smooth digital trail for every aspect of their correspondence with you. 

Create A Vendor Matrix 

Having a vendor matrix is key regardless if you’re a single owner who is managing their San Jose rentals or a small management company because, you always want to know who you can call for things like maintenance and repairs especially late at night, on weekends, or holidays. 

Once you’ve created a vendor matrix, you should use your favorite calendar program to schedule routine maintenance at your rentals so you can stay on top of common things like heater/air conditioner maintenance without falling behind on it. 

Hire A Call Center Handle Your Calls 

As an owner, you have better things to do than to take calls from people that’s why you should consider hiring a virtual call center to handle your calls for you.  

With a virtual call center, they will be able to email you your voicemails and or transcripts of those calls so you can efficiently manage calls from tenants or potential renters without having to spend a lot of time on the phone with them.
