We are largest direct to seller advertiser in our market. We are able to acquire properties that others can’t find. In our decade plus in business, we have fix and flipped and wholesold more than 1,500 homes in and around our MSA. We pick the properties in the right neighborhoods to turn into rental holds. We own and manage more than 300 doors and our staff doesn’t know if the property belongs to us or to you. So you are literally treated like we treat ourselves. We renovate to a standard that is rental specific and one that maximizes returns while minimizing customer touch and costly repairs. In addition, we promote a sense of pride of rentership in our renters and 90%+ of our renters renew year over year.

We buy rental properties in emerging neighborhoods, still within close proximity of the city center, often in the path of progress. We do not buy in dangerous neighborhoods, but we do buy in neighborhoods that are emerging. There are two huge benefits to purchasing in these neighborhoods. The renters feel comfortable here and want to make it home. And in some instances, property values can multiply exponentially because a neighborhood can look quick different five or ten years into the future.

Every property is purchased in a different state or set of conditions. Our rental portfolio is designed to be safe and affordable for the resident first and then to maximize profits for the investor. Some of these properties are absolutely beautiful in photos, however the vast majority are not. The homes are renovated in a way where capital expenditures are nearly always addressed during the value add period and before a resident would move in or a property would be sold Turnkey. We aren’t perfect and things can happen, but we renovate to a standard where all major systems or Capital Expenditures are addressed up front and it is the goal to have at least 5 years remaining life on all major systems at the time of Turnkey sale, no matter the level of finish.

We have a standard sheet that we can provide with our up-to-date pricing. Suffice it to say that our pricing is aggressive and fair and set in a way that the owner can maximize profit.

Due to our method of renovation and tenant accrual, we are able to greatly outperform industry standards. As a whole, we retain 90%+ of our residents year over year. Our expense ratios are in the high 20’s or low 30’s. For a point of reference, industry standard for expense ratio is between 35% - 45%. As a frame of reference, we have studied property owners and managers that have between 1000 and 15,000 doors. We have taken the best of their practices and incorporated those into our property management standards. These numbers beat industry standard because we are intentional with finish and product delivery and this greatly impacts retention and returns.

1. Section 8 is a housing assistance program under HUD, The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. In its simplest terms, residents who need assistance get assistance from the government to afford housing. In the world of landlords, Section 8 is either viewed negatively or favorably. We think this is a matter of execution on the part of the owner or operator. Section 8 is a wonderful program for allowing residents in need to afford appropriate housing. However, all renters are not created equal. As a company, we are very good at screening to find the right resident and one who will stay and will treat the property with a sense of pride. If the resident turns out to not be a good renter for us, the voucher is a leveraging chip that allows owners to negotiate in a way with residents and in many instances will force an amicable split as the resident wants to part on good terms and keep the voucher. Managing Section 8 is an artform, properly utilized it allows the resident safe and affordable housing and allows the owner great returns. Last, the government guarantees all or a portion of a resident’s rent.

Our Turnkey Investment properties come with a one year rent assurance. If anything should happen with the resident, Our rent assurance covers not only missed rents, but also costs incurred during evictions, property turnover, and new tenant placement. We also have a 1-year workmanship warranty starting from the date of purchase. The Workmanship warranty covers all improvements from the property specific renovation list including but not limited to electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, windows, flooring, and cabinetry. Lastly, we also provide a 1 year home warranty which cover most of the major systems in the property.

Although proformas are estimates, 75% of the time we meet or exceed the proforma numbers we provide. The biggest difference we see when potential buyer’s run their own proformas and their numbers do not match include our expense ratios being much lower than the industry standard.

Yes, we have relationships with best in class providers that provide their services well below rates viewed as industry standard and we are happy to provide these introductions upon request.
