Many of our members have found significant success with our program, and we stand by its effectiveness. 

Hello @Aaron Maxwell,Calling is more time consuming but more cost effective.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

(I’ve increased rent between 3-5% in 2023 and another increase goes into effect October 2024)I’ll do whatever I can to lower the taxes but if I can’t, I may have to increase everyone’s rent by another $200 to $1400.

When you select the next tenant I would certainly ensure that you have your eyes on the applications that are coming in, and ask that you are involved in the decision making process. 3x income, clean credit and background checks should be a minimum for approval, even if it takes a month or so to find someone.
