Educating Against Evictions

The number one way we avoid evictions? By making sure the tenant understands the lease they’re signing. Our proprietary screening system finds the right people, and we teach them how to be successful along the way. 

We Work Best With:

  • Self-Managed Owners Ready to Retire

    You’ve been managing your property for ten-plus years, and you’re ready to turn off the phone and take off a vacation. You want to turn over the property completely to a trusted professional with a qualified vendor network.

  • Investors in Residential Real Estate

    You’re a new buyer with big dreams, building your retirement portfolio with quality rental investments — but you feel overwhelmed by tenant law and aren’t sure where to start. You’re ready to delegate the complexity and sit back, relax, and receive passive income. 

We Aren’t A Fit For:

  • AirBNBs, Short, & Mid-term Rentals
    (I have referrals for you!) 

  • Owner-Occupied Multi-Unit Properties
    (This can become a liability.)

  • DIY Handymen uncomfortable outsourcing maintenance
    (We trust our vendor network!)

  • Owners seeking sliding-scale services
    (We offer a single, all-in-one package.)

Our Maintenance Network

We know that maintenance requests are part of the job! Unlike other property managers, we won’t charge for the time we spend solving your problems. All you’ll have to do is approve the maintenance quote and pick up the vendor tab. We’ll take care of everything else.

  • • Handymen

    • Plumbers

    • HVAC Repair

    • Roof Repair

    • Painters

    • Landscapers

    • And More!

Reports Every 6 Months

We don’t charge extra for inspections, because we know how important they are! When owners waive inspections to bypass fees, it can often lead to bigger problems in the future. That’s why we check in every 6 months to see how the tenant is doing and ensure your home is taken care of.

Tools Tailored to You

We chose a Tenant/Owner Portal that is Oregon-based and easy to use. Rentec Direct was created by a former property manager who got fed up with the existing tools on the market and created his own software. A man after our own heart.

FAQs

  • The short answer is no, we don't contract with all owners. Not all people are our people. That goes for owners, vendors, tenants, and anyone else we may partner with. We can't expect to change the industry by sticking with the status quo. Instead, we look to partner with folks whose values align with ours and will support our mission.

  • Long story short, it is a federal law that aims to prevent housing discrimination based on: race or color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability. The State of Oregon has added protections for marital status, and the City of Portland has included sexual orientation, source of income, and age. If you'd like to learn more about the Fair Housing Act, check out this resource.

  • This depends on the property. Some locks are more difficult to change than others. (If you are living in a historical home for instance.) But, we do our due diligence to ensure that all keys are returned, access codes changed, and locks are changed when possible.

  • To protect you, your property, and everyone's lawful rights, we contract with licensed and insured vendors that specialize in the repairs you need. If you have a vendor you prefer, let us know! We are happy to consider adding them to our vendor portfolio.
