At North San Diego Property Management, we’ve spent years managing multifamily and commercial properties in the North County area , including in Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, San Marcos, and Solana Beach. We know that not everyone is familiar with what a professional management company does.

If you’re wondering what you can expect from a good property management company, we’re sharing some of the basic services you can expect.

Caring for the Investment Property

The most immediate and direct responsibility of your management company is to take care of your rental property. This includes finding and placing high quality tenants , setting a rental price that will be competitive on the market, and maintaining the condition of your investment. You can expect efficient and on-time rent collections, tenant follow-up if rent is late, including the posting of notices and eviction, if necessary. There should be frequent property inspections and an immediate response to any tenant issues or repair needs.

Caring for the property includes remaining compliant with all fair housing laws, as well as other state, federal, and local laws and regulations. Protecting you from expensive lawsuits and costly mistakes is a major role of a property manager. You can expect all of your accounting to be handled professionally and transparently. You should expect and receive monthly statements that demonstrate all of the income and expenses associated with your property.

Increasing your Return on Investment

In addition to the daily logistics, you can expect your property management company to help you increase your ROI. This is done in a number of different ways. Your property manager will understand the market and price your property correctly. That cuts down on vacancy costs. You’ll also have access to maintenance services that are better priced. Most vendors and contractors give discounts to property management companies because of the volume of work we provide them. Good tenant retention policies reduce turnover costs. A property manager will recommend updates and improvements that will attract better tenants and help you drive up your rent prices. All of these things increase your income and reduce your expenses, giving your asset a higher value.

Building Your Investment Portfolio

We work with investors at all levels. Whether you’re just starting out with one or two properties or you’ve been investing for years, contact us at North San Diego Property Management. We’d love to tell you more about what you can expect when you work with us.

Working with tenants in a commercial property is often a little different than working with tenants in a residential property. While the tenants you place own their own businesses, you’re the one who owns the building. This can create some tension if the relationship isn’t managed properly.

Vacancies are expensive, whether you’re renting out a single-family home in Oceanside or a commercial property in Carlsbad. The cost of an unoccupied property is high – it’s money that can never be earned back. This doesn’t only damage your cash flow, it hurts your long term ROI.

We know to really maximize the ROI on your investment property, you already understand that you need to increase your income and cut your expenses. It seems pretty simple, but when you’re looking at your accounting reports every month, it may seem impossible to save on what seems like fixed operating expenses.
