Do you have multiple rental properties you need to consistently find new tenants for? Are you running ragged trying to handle everything from the online marketing for your properties to conducting the tenant background checks to maintaining the rentals? There may be a better way. Today, property owners are turning to centralized leasing firms to manage all of their rentals or properties in a consistent manner. Here's why you should look into handing over the management of your rentals to one dedicated firm.
Create and Market a Brand
By using a property management or centralized leasing firm to handle all of your rental properties, you can put everything under one umbrella to create a new brand. Instead of putting out multiple ads for multiple properties, you can encourage people looking for a place to live to go to one centralized website or office to find out which properties have vacancies.
You should be able to create and market a new real estate brand once you get up and running with your centralized leasing firm. Tenants will not be applying to live at just one apartment or house, they will be applying to become a member of a community. This could be especially helpful if you want your rental properties to be seen as more high-end and you want the marketing to reflect your ideals.
Get Help With Inquiries and New Tenant Applications
Maybe you could handle the occasional inquiry or the application process when you only had one building to manage but now you have five, 10, or more properties and it's getting a bit overwhelming. A centralized leasing office can serve as the point of contact for potential new tenants and will handle all aspects of the application process.
Reduce Overhead Costs
Centralized leasing or property management firms typically have years or decades of experience helping out other real estate owners just like you. You'll be able to tap into the best practices they learned over the years in order to reduce your overhead costs. Hiring one plumber to work at all of the properties, for example, may reduce overhead costs when compared to just hiring a random contractor whenever another problem pops up.
If your property rental business is growing, it may be time to streamline operations with the help of an outside firm. A property management or centralized leasing office can handle everything from coming up with a new marketing or brand campaign for your business to running background checks on potential new tenants.
