KillJoy Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I am in the Market to find a company who can manage the Rental of my House. Does anyone have any recommendations, thoughts, comments or concerns? KillJoy PS - No, I WILL NOT "manage" it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyster101 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 A company or person? Someone to live in it and maintain it while you are gone or just someone/company to maintain it while tenants are there? Just 1 house or a set of apts?

cinergi Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 They're all over Craigslist. I don't have any to recommend because I have always done it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are wanting a company to manage the rental of our home to a tenant. I want all communication between the tenant and myself to go through the management company.

AWW$HEEET Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I just made a thread about this, apparently they take a huge percentage, and often dont want anything to do with you unless you own a ton of properties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I rented from a private owner through Advanced realty. They are on east livingston. 3years and they always seemed fair and no issues. If you can't find the # pm me ill find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Sadly, unless your payments for the home are well below what it can be rented for, you will lose money monthly with a management company. Wish I could afford to have one with my rental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Talk to my brother, he just did this when he moved to DC and it's not as much as you'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe, aside from a negative position in the condo I disagree with your service comment...my property management company only charges 6%, and my time/money savings having them service tenants for cheap cheap CHEAP goes a long way. I can buy a dishwasher cheaply from ApplianceSmart for $300, but my prop mgt guy bought a new, commercial dishwasher to repair a broken one from my tenant for $160+$35labor!!! Saved me money right there... That said, Realty Executives Central is who I use. PM me if you want their number... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 When I rented out my house, I used Solutions For Real Estate: http://www.s4re.com/ I have no complaints about them. IIRC, my fee was $75 per month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
