Advertising is a critical part of being a property management specialist. As your chosen Baywood property manager, we guarantee that we handle all rental marketing. We have a specific team that deals with all our clients’ marketing needs. Marketing begins with an analysis of your property and a clear evaluation of what matters most to tenants in the area. Then, we ensure that your listings – both online and local – are designed to be as wide-reaching as possible while speaking to Baywood’s best renters.

Then, we put quality people in place who can come in and take part in the day-to-day communication with all interested parties. We take new photographs of your property, too, guaranteeing that it stands out from the rival properties on the nation’s most popular rental portals. Not only does this guarantee that you are in a fine position for advertising visibility, but it also means you have a dedicated team handling all your interests. We arrange viewings and, for the right applicants, undertake a strict occupant vetting process to confirm compatibility.

While investment properties in Baywood are often sold as a ‘passive income,’ it takes work to reach that stage. Many of our clients come to us as they find it hard to dedicate the time needed to get to that point. To help you do that, leave managing your property to us. We will handle the rental process from start to finish. We clean out your property and manage any structural issues found during our initial inspection. Then, we advertise the property, field interest from the best renters in the area, and locate a tenant.

Once that tenant is in place, we do everything in our power to keep them happy and ensure longevity. This means being available 24/7 to resolve any problems that emerge for your tenants. This includes any maintenance requests, even those that arrive outside of traditional office hours. We do not believe in simply only offering rental property maintenance services during our working hours. We are always here to ensure that you and your tenants feel supported, protected, cared for, and looked after.

When we speak to new clients about why they have hired a Baywood property manager for rental properties, tenant selection is always mentioned. Finding potential renters who are not going to cause a headache as soon as the initial honeymoon period is over is not easy. Rest assured, though, that we will handle this for you. Our tenant selection process will guarantee you are in a much better position to thrive now and in the years to come. Now, tenants are chosen based on their suitability and rental history.

We evaluate everything about a tenant when they first come to us. Applications ensure that every question we need to ask is seen and dealt with. This includes ensuring that any potential renters have a solid history as renters here in Baywood or elsewhere. References are reviewed, and we ensure their financial situation is positive enough that we can guarantee you are in the best situation. Our attention to detail in the tenant vetting process is why we see less than a single percentage of our recommendations evicted.

The day-to-day management of your finances can be a tough gig as a property investor. Especially in a place like Baywood, where maintenance contracts have become so common, keeping track of what is being spent and what has been earned becomes a real challenge. With Utopia as your Baywood property manager, though, such issues are no longer your concern. Instead, our dedicated team of accounting and record-keeping professionals handles this on your behalf. We will create monthly statements instead.

Now, you just need to review your statements, which are posted to you monthly or included on-demand as part of your owner portal. You can review all financial performance, from rent income and property value growth to maintenance contractor fees, management rates, and much more. We also handle the complex issue of ensuring rent is paid, too. Rent is managed through our tenant portal, so your tenants pay their rent online. This limits risk maximizes payment accuracy and limits the need for us to enforce penalties for late/non-payment of rent.

The easiest way to damage your beautiful Baywood property portfolio is to neglect maintenance. Many rental properties in Baywood are of an older vintage, and thus, they might need some extra TLC. To ensure that maintenance does not go untouched, we provide in-house maintenance services. This means you do not have to deal with the hiring process of contractors. However, we also operate as a licensed general contractor. Should you need a third-party specialist for any maintenance work, we find them.

Our contacts in the industry allow us to guarantee that the people we recommend as your contractors are the best in the area. We take care to ensure that fully licensed and insured professionals carry out all work. Not only will this guarantee that the property is suitably cared for, but it will also ensure that you are dealing with a property that is in the best condition overall. This will help to maintain or stabilize your property value, ensure low vacancy rates, and modernize your properties to make them more attractive. Since we tackle emergency maintenance, too, nobody has to wait until the morning for our help!

The easiest thing to forget about as a property owner in Baywood is creating a lease agreement. In a rush, many landlords use a generic lease agreement they find online. Not only are these usually not suitable for your portfolio, but they can leave you open to legal liability. They might not offer the kind of protection you might, or they might be incompatible with the current laws of the state or country. Well, do not worry: we offer in-house legal assistance that includes managing all lease writing requirements.

A lease agreement protects you in so many ways, especially when it is written bespoke for your needs. We adapt the agreement for anything specific you have in mind, such as forbidding pets. At the same time, we guarantee that your agreement is researched thoroughly enough to ensure it matches up with the law. Now, you have no worries about your agreement leaving you short of legal protection. The last thing we want is to see you end up in court, so our agreements do everything to avoid such a scenario.
