I specialize in the Property Management Industry in the Phoenix area and the way we write the lease agreements, handle yearly property inspections before allowing tenants to renew, have a deferred maintenance program to help keep the property in great condition, and get you the highest rents possible with the lowest vacancy times, it can make the process very easy and all you need to do is sit back and enjoy the cash flow.
