Currently we only offer services directly to companies with 75+ doors under management. If this describes your business, you can book a demo directly with our team on our website. 

You can definitely continue to self manage if your biggest issues are maintenance and collection rent.

Most self managers use tools like cozy to keep their properties together and maintain a rent roll

There are also maintenance services like Latchel that can help you self manage those operations easily with smaller monthly fees than a property manager. 

I would leverage technology first, you're in a beautiful new age!

If you're starting out in property management or ownership, you definitely know the pains of maintenance management. The immediate dread that you have to find a vendor, schedule them, and make sure they did a good job is intimidating, and also time draining. Lets face it, time IS money.

Latchel allows you to have a company ready to source for you. If you need a vendor, no matter where you are, submit a request through latchel.com.  You set the budget limit, and we'll see whats out there for you.

We will find you a contractor, schedule the job, dispatch, and invoice all at NO COST TO YOU. We make our money on the contactors in our network at no mark up. No additional costs are being passed on. Please inquire for more about how latchel can solve you're maintenance concerns today!

You found anyone for this? I have a contact.

@Christine Kankowski wow I'm sorry I didn't respond earlier.  How much time does it take you to do these out of state repairs?

Hi Sheree, I can't say too much for Cozy, except that they are a great tool for landlords to use but as far as maintenance tickets it helps you account for them, not manage them. My company actually helps manage work orders for landlords and property managers, I'd love to tell you more if you're interested. 

@Jerry West if you're still looking for an answer I may be able to help.

Hi Guys,

I'm curious as to how some of you manage your maintenance when you're overseas or even just don't live where your properties are located.

I know the obvious choice is to hire a property manager but I know some of you self-manage and want to get some ideas! 

Even better yet, if you do remotely manage properties, what tools do you currently use and what do you WISH you had to self-manage that doesn't currently exist?!

Our company provides a 24/7 emergency dispatching center for landlords. This means that you no longer need to worry about emergency dispatching when you're out of the country, going on vacation, or just looking for a good nights sleep so you can work your 9-5 without the worry of property damage to your homes.

Latchel will identify the issue and find out if property damage or habitability issues are present. Once we've correctly identified an emergency we dispatch a vendor to the property and follow up within 2 hours to make sure they made it to the property and were able to contain the issue. Vendors are instructed to do the minimum amount needed to prevent property damage. I.E: board up a broken window, not replace one.

What is an emergency?

• Leaks that could cause property damage
• No functioning toilets in the unit
• No heat in cold weather (under 45F; 55F if young children, elderly, or sick people are present)
• No AC in hot weather (over 95F; 85F if young children, elderly, or sick people are present)
• Security and safety issues (broken windows, open doors)
• Electrical outages (not caused by power company) or loss of power to medical equipment

Pricing? We cover 1-25 units at a price of only $30, then it's only $1 for every unit after that!
