Investing in rental property is one of the best decisions you can ever make, and this is especially true in a lucrative area such as San Diego! On top of the steady source of income, rental property ownership includes tax benefits and, when done right, the security of having your investment’s value increase over time.
Renting out a property, however, is more than just purchasing a home and finding a tenant to fill it. Your property must comply with local and state laws, it must be maintained throughout the year, and your tenant’s needs must be addressed promptly. This can be stressful and frustrating to someone without experience. That’s where a property manager comes in! They can handle all these tasks so you won’t have to worry about a thing.
So, what should an owner look for in a property management company? With over 2 decades in the San Diego property management industry, North Country Property Group has a guide to help!
What to Consider When Finding a Property Management Company
We’ve compiled a few qualifications that should guide San Diego property owners when looking for a property management company. They are as follows:
Professional Licenses
Property management is a specialized field that requires technical expertise for it to be effective. A qualified property management company will save you both time and money while reducing stress. Some companies may claim they have what it takes to manage your property, but what guarantees this is professional licenses and certifications.
There are three top designations by our industry associations that you can look for. These are the Residential Management Professional (RMP®), the Master Property Manager (MPM®), and the Certified Residential Management Company (CRMC®).
When it comes to North County Property Group, we’re the only Certified Residential Management Company (CRMC) in San Diego County, one of only four in the State of California, and one of less than fifty in the country!
To receive this certification, a property management company must meet a few requirements:
They must have managed at least 500 units
The property management company must be led by a Master Property Manager
They must be a consistently top-ranking property management company in their geographic area
North County Property Group meets all these requirements, as determined by the National Association of Residential Property Managers.
Experience
Your property management company needs to have experience in handling tenant screening, maintenance requests, and all manner of property issues. They also need to have experience handling your particular type of property. Experience in handling commercial properties, for example, is not the same as residential properties.
North Country Property Group has over 20+ years managing residential properties in San Diego! Our team has experience in the successful management of single-family homes, multi-family homes, and vacation rentals.
Low Vacancy and Eviction Rates
As a landlord, you have invested in property for several reasons. It could be that you are diversifying your portfolio, looking to earn a stable rental income, or building your equity. This can be best achieved when having long-term tenants on your residential property.
North Country Property Group makes use of a comprehensive tenant screening process that has been refined over the years. We look into credit scores, eviction histories, criminal records, and employment verification. Evictions are rare as we only find the best tenants for your rental properties!
A Well-Defined Client Base
A client base shows a company’s successes in the property management industry. It also guarantees that the company has ties to the local community. You can ask the property manager for references in the area to confirm pertinent information.
North Country Property Group has a solid, local client base which we have built over the years. There’s no company in the San Diego area with a better standing than us! On top of our reputable history with property owners, we also have strong ties with local contractors and handymen. This way, you’re also able to enjoy more affordable rates!
