Advertising is arguably the most overlooked part of success in the La Puente rental market. Most assume that the picturesque location and the high rental demand mean that rental marketing does not matter. At Utopia, we have a completely different view of matters. We offer advertising and property marketing support built around working through these issues quickly and easily, drawing interest from near and far.

For example, we create local signage and new online listings. Each listing encourages interest by showing your property off through images and text. We even offer solutions like virtual viewings and in-person showings so applicants get everything they need to feel confident renting your property. With Utopia, you are in the best possible position to keep your investment property in La Puente in demand.

Residential properties make up the majority of rental property in La Puente, and we manage all kinds. While the majority of properties are older single-family homes, a growing number of townhomes exist as well. So, too, do apartment buildings and other multi-family property investments. Whatever kind of residential property you own, we find you great tenants who wish to move in right away. At the same time, we manage the administrative side of things while keeping your rental property in modern condition.

We also manage commercial properties with the same gusto as we do residential properties. While La Puente often struggles to attract big-name vendors, commercial property here does receive interest. Our job is to find you the best vendors to move in, commercial partners who feel like a natural fit for here. Then, we give them the same full-service support for administration, construction and maintenance, marketing, and more. Over time, we create fruitful commercial partnerships that benefit property owners and the local economy.

If you want to find long-term rental success in La Puente, you cannot skip over the tenant screening process. Tenants need to be very carefully selected unless you want to run into problems with evictions. At Utopia, we rarely need to offer eviction assistance because we do our research. All applicants who come forward receive a full-scale analysis from our in-house occupant vetting staff.

Given that we pride ourselves on low vacancy rates, we never take risks with tenants who do not suit our partners’ requirements. We look closely at tenants, including their previous rental history and even their financial situation. We only select tenants who meet our obligations and have a proven track record of paying rent on time, looking after properties, and adhering to the lease agreement we put in place. With a 1% eviction ratio across our tenure as property managers, you can trust our analysis!

Another key aspect of managing your property investment in La Puente is finance. If you have rental properties that need a bit more accounting detail, we provide that. Our in-house finance department manages rent collections and creates monthly statements. We can even take on the payment of invoices and handle any contracts associated with your property. If you have any questions about the financial performance of your portfolio, we can provide those details as well.

Maintaining your investment never feels easy, especially when close to 70% of properties in La Puente finished development before the 1970s. Tenants often complain of issues like a lack of amenities compared to more modern cities in Los Angeles County. Others worry about wear and tear issues, aging on key parts of the structure, such as the roof, or even a lack of energy efficiency. As your property manager in La Puente, we must work through any maintenance requests we receive from you.

Tenants can contact us at any time of the day or night, even overnight. We also have great contacts in the construction industry—all of whom are licensed and insured—and an in-house maintenance team. We ensure professionals receive the dedicated and extensive maintenance work you require while maximizing returns on investment. We keep costs lower, too, thanks to our industry contacts and our long-term relationships with suppliers in the local area. For peace of mind on maintenance, hire us!

Many landlords rely on generated or automated lease agreements they find online via templates. Sadly, many of these agreements lack the legal thoroughness owner-investors in La Puente need. Our role as your property manager includes managing, creating, and enforcing your lease agreement. Now, tenants know what permissions they have and what is forbidden, such as smoking or pets.

Our agreements receive regular updates and analysis as the laws of La Puente, Los Angeles County, and California change. We remove the stress and confession often associated with the legal side of ownership. For peace of mind and confidence in the legal process, leave your lease agreements to us!
