Cleveland Property Management Advice about Tenant Retention

Cleveland Property Management Advice about Tenant Retention

Turnover is expensive for Cleveland rental property owners. Vacant properties are not earning any rent, and the owner has to pay out-of-pocket for maintenance, cleaning, and landscaping. Not only are you losing rental income, you’re also spending money between tenants.

Cost Effective Renovations, Remodels and Upgrades for Your Cleveland Investment Property

Cost Effective Renovations, Remodels and Upgrades for Your Cleveland Investment Property

One of the best ways to increase your ROI and earn more on your Cleveland investment property is by making simple and cost-effective property upgrades and updates. You don’t necessarily have to start adding new rooms or putting in a penthouse level. If your property is already in good condition and well-maintained, you’re probably having an easy time attracting good tenants and earning reliable rental income. However, a few affordable and minor changes can really make an impact in how quickly you attract those tenants. These upgrades can also lift your rental value.

Jess, was my leasing agent that took care of me from the moment she showed me the property to the minute she handed me the keys. The entire process was smooth, simple, and easy to understand with her detailed and thorough explanations of each process. Anytime ! had a question she was always available, flexibly working around both of our schedules and very considerate of my time. Overall,my experience with Jess as my very first leasing agent was simply excellent and couldn't fathom an easier process.

Best property management company I’ve ever dealt with. Very efficient and quick to respond to maintenance requests. Faye was great with handling my maintenance request about my HVAC issues. Viktor from VK Furnace got his guys on the job, setup and done very quickly.

To the Utility Maintenance Coordinator Ms. Cristina.. Where do I even begin to start. First her patience was extremity outstanding , her energy was so very calming and reassuring, a delightful spirit that's very rare. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my cry out for help and not just throwing me away as a nuisance🙏🏾😢 I can not thank you enough for all of what you've done when you could've been doing much more of anything else. You are a gift, a blessing in disguise and I definitely ask the universe to truly drown you in all of the gifts and blessings beyond anything you've ever hoped for🙏🏾😇 thank you for you✨️💫

Thankful for the maintenance team, Carlton fixed my NASTY MOLDY shower and replaced it with a beautiful glass shower that is easy to keep clean and when Carlton is doing the job, the job is always done right and with great skill. He rebuilt our porch, and it is wonderful and structurally sound, which I could not have said before he replaced it with fine wood working skills! Jam also did a great job supporting the wonderful maintenance crew, the man, the myth, THE LEGEND, Carlton. Bless you Carlton, you made my life a wayyyyyyy better place.
