San Diego Property Management

Owning a rental should not feel like a second job.

We manage your property the way we would manage one of our own. You stay informed when it matters, and out of it the rest of the time.

Why work with us

Treat your property the way we would treat ours.

A rental is an investment. It is also someone’s home. We try to be a fair landlord on both sides. Tenants who are taken care of stay longer. Owners who get straight answers sleep better. That is the whole job.

Owner Care

Three standards before something goes wrong.

Anyone can promise to fix what breaks. We focus on not breaking it in the first place. Here is how.

Careful Tenant Screening

Credit, income, history, real conversations

We take time with every applicant. Credit, income, employment, identity, and rental history all get a careful look, and we pick up the phone to talk with previous landlords. A short conversation often reveals what no report can. A few extra days at the front end usually saves a lot of trouble later.

Built Around You

Flexible terms

We work to earn the relationship every month and shape the agreement around your situation, not ours. No long contracts written to protect us instead of you.

Local Knowledge

25+ years on the ground

Comps, neighborhood patterns, vendor relationships, and a working understanding of California PM rules. Built up here in San Diego, not borrowed from a national playbook.

Full Service

What we handle so you do not have to.

Everything below is included. No tiers, no upsells, no “premium plan.” This is just what management means.

Tenant screening & placement

Background, credit, employment, income, and rental history.

Marketing & listing

Zillow, Trulia, MLS where applicable, and our own waitlist.

Rent collection & statements

Online payments, monthly statements, and year-end summaries.

Annual inspections

A walk-through every year so small problems do not become big ones.

Lease enforcement & renewals

Late notices, lease violations, renewals, and rent increases.

Eviction coordination

If it ever gets there, we coordinate with your attorney and handle the property-side logistics.

Rent-ready repairs & cleaning

Turnover work coordinated through trusted local vendors.

Renter’s insurance

Required and verified on every tenant. An added layer of protection for your property.

How It Works

From first call to first deposit.

Three steps. Most owners are receiving their first rent check within four to six weeks.

01

Free Rental Analysis

We visit the property, review comparable rents in your zip code, and tell you what the home will realistically rent for. We also flag any rent-ready work worth doing before the listing goes up. No charge, no obligation.

02

Onboarding & Placement

Management agreement, listing photos, syndication, applicant screening, and lease signing. You stay informed, but the work is on us.

03

Hands-Off Ownership

Rent deposits each month. Clear statements. Maintenance handled. We call you when there is a real decision to make. You decide the rest of your week.

With us vs without

The fee is the visible part.

What you see is rarely what you pay.

With management

Ownership, simplified.

One predictable monthly fee.

Waterline
Without management

Everything below, on you, every year

  • A month of vacancy you absorb, often about 8% of annual rent
  • A bad tenant placement, $3,000 to $8,000 to recover from
  • An eviction you file yourself, $1,500 to $5,000 plus two to four months
  • Maintenance markups, 10 to 20% on every repair you arrange alone
  • 60 to 100 hours of your time on listings, screening, calls, paperwork
  • Late-night maintenance calls, weekend emergencies, hard conversations
  • Lease enforcement, late notices, and renewal conversations
  • Building a vendor list, one bad experience at a time

Most owners pay the fee twice. Once for management, once for not having it.

Owner Stories

From the people who hand us the keys.

“

Managing our Mission Hills rental felt completely hands-off. Consistent cash flow, transparent reporting, and zero stress. Best decision we made as owners.

Ulises has been ‘heaven sent’ to us. He basically took care of everything there is from start to finish.

When closing was delayed by the buyer, Ulises worked to have us compensated for the costs. He treated us like friends rather than clients.

Owner FAQ

Common questions, answered straight.

How do you screen tenants?

Every applicant goes through a background check, credit report, employment verification, income verification, and rental history check. We look for a stable income picture, a clean rental history, and credit that suggests they pay their bills on time. The cheapest tenant rarely turns out to be the cheapest tenant.

How is rent deposited and when?

Tenants pay through the secure online portal. Once funds clear, we deposit your share by electronic transfer along with a monthly statement showing rent, fees, and any maintenance expenses. You can see everything in your owner portal at any time.

What happens when something needs repair?

Tenants submit requests through the online portal at any time. Routine issues are dispatched to vetted local vendors. For anything above an agreed threshold, or anything unusual, we call you before authorizing the work. No surprises on your statement.

What if a tenant pays late or stops paying?

A late notice goes out the day after rent is due. If it goes further, we follow up by phone, then in writing, then with formal notice. We do not let late rent become normal. If it ever escalates to eviction, we coordinate with your attorney and handle the property-side logistics. Evictions are rare with careful screening, but rare is not zero.

What is your management fee?

Our fees are competitive for full-service management in San Diego. The exact rate depends on the property, the location, and the scope. We share a written breakdown during your free rental analysis. There are no add-on fees for the things that should already be included.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Our agreements are flexible and shaped around your situation, with reasonable notice on either side. We do not believe in long contracts that protect us instead of you. If we are not earning the work, we should not have the work.

Should I rent it out or sell?

Sometimes selling is the right answer. We sell homes too, so we can run the numbers both ways. Long-term hold income vs after-tax sale proceeds. We will tell you what makes more sense for your situation, even if the answer is selling. See our Sell page.

Do you manage multi-unit or commercial?

We manage single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and small multi-unit residential property. For larger commercial portfolios, give us a call and we will tell you whether we are the right fit or refer you to someone who is.

Already a tenant in one of our properties?

Pay rent, submit maintenance requests, and access your lease through the secure online portal. Available 24/7 on any device.
