Looking for landlords in the Columbia, SC area to network with!

[Chandler L. Parker]

Hi,

My name is Chandler Parker. I live in Irmo, SC and I am looking to meet and network with local landlords in hopes of leasing a single family home. My company is Parker HomeStays. I would like to acquire properties, with willing landlords and host short term guest.

At first, most landlords think it's a crazy idea and just don't want to talk about it. I can understand that thinking. 

The first question I get is "Will my property get trashed?" The answer for that is  quite simple. Absolutely not! All of our guest are pre-screened for identification, pet free, non-smokers and typically only stay for 1-6 nights. The first part of this is that once we sign a 1 year lease with a landlord, we make a huge financial investment in the property by furnishing and staging the property. You see, we now have a financial interest in keeping the property it top professional condition at all times. Between the guest we have professional cleaning companies clean and re-stage the property. Another benefit to this, we always have eyes inside the property. 

The next question is "Will I have to do any extra management or work?". Again, absolutely not. Actually once we sign the lease, you will collect automatic rent payments every month and never hear from us except to update you once in a while on the quality and condition of the property. So you collect rent, don't have to deal with a tenant and your property will be maintained and cleaned professionally on a weekly basis. Hands free landlording for you!

Here are a few things to think about,                                               Average Tenant                       Parker HomeStays

• Maintenance under $100 covered by                                                  NO                                             YES
• Regular Professional Cleanings                                                          NO                                              YES
• Pet Free & Smoke Free Guest                                                            NO                                             YES
• Minimal use of water & appliances                                                    NO                                              YES
• Car parked in the grass or on blocks                                                  YES                                             NO
• Security camera on front porch                                                         NO                                              YES
• Noise decibel monitor to prevent loud guest                                      NO                                              YES
• Security elock keyless entry (can lock doors remotely)                       NO                                              YES

So leasing a property to us as an owner, you pay no management company fee. You collect your rent without having to deal with any of the typical tenant phone calls. We manage everything. It's possible we would be your last tenant because  your property will be in better condition once we have it than most tenants will keep it in. We are the best tenant you could have!!

I'm really looking forward to meeting some of you and hopefully doing business together!

If you have any questions and want to contact me please do so! I encourage any and all feed back. It will be greatly appreciated!
