INTERNET LISTINGS: Our available homes for rent are posted on dozens of for-rent websites, complete with high quality photos, maps and property details for the convenience of those searching for a new home. Our ad-copy is carefully crafted to provide critical information to prospects who only spend a few seconds reading ads.

If a pet is allowed, the security deposit amount will increase by $500/pet and Tenant will pay a Pet Administration Fee (“Pet Fee”) of thirty dollars ($30.00) per month for the first pet and twenty dollars ($20.00) per month for any additional pets.
Even if a property allows dogs, the following dog breeds are never allowed: Akita, Alaskan Malamute, Boxer, Bull Mastiff, Canary Dog, Chow Chow, Doberman Pinscher, German Shepherd, Husky, Pit Bull, Rottweiler, and Wolf Hybrid. Applicants with these dog breeds as pets should not apply.

How We Inspect Your Property
We perform a video taped move-in inspection at the start of a tenancy.
At around 90-days after the start of the tenancy, we perform an occupied inspection to check for issues like:
We take photos to document. If there are issues, we schedule action and subsequent follow-up inspections. Assuming all is OK, the next interior inspection is an Annual Property Review in 6-months or 90-days prior to the end of the lease.
The Annual Property Review (APR) is a written report with photos performed by a licensed home inspection company. The APR goes beyond tenant lease compliance to inspect the major systems in the property (such as roof, plumbing, electric, heating and cooling, appliances, etc.). This is important report for our landlords. Owning an investment property is like owning a car – if you don’t maintain it properly, it will let you down. The licensed home inspector also performs our comprehensive safety inspection at the same time. We want your tenants to be safe in your property, and it benefits you as the landlord because it lowers your potential liability to personal injury claims.
At move-out, we perform another video taped move-out inspection. We bring this back to our office to compare it with the move-in so we can make informed decisions about tenant damages and cleaning responsibility.

Working with the 2024 property management trends.
Cofounder at UpperKey . Passionate about property management, real estate investments, proptech and driving international business growth.
With ever-advancing evolutions in technology and innovation, changes in client and tenant demographics and the state of the real estate industry in general, there’s a great deal going on in property management that industry leaders need to keep ahead of.
Many construction projects are back in full flow, although, in some locations, living space expectations have impacted the types of new properties getting built since the pandemic started.
I've noticed that key tourism and business hubs—country capitals and high-profile cities such as Paris, London and Dubai —continue to show favorable signs of lucrative returns for property owners operating in or breaking into rental markets.
With the journey through the pandemic creating vast shifts in how we operate and the current market's problematic financial issues, what can property managers expect from the coming year, and how can we plan to make the most of the opportunities offered?
Mandarin oriental’s first hotel in greece brings luxury to the peloponnese, why is this colorado church putting its chapel on the blockchain, prioritize strategizing for growth..
Property management companies strive for growth. It's what boosts the bottom line. And learning from the issues faced during Covid-19, many of us have seen firsthand the benefits of the integration of new technology.
We've also seen a decline in real estate opportunities and a rise in rental demand . So, where do we concentrate our efforts for growth?
Property management companies grow by expanding their portfolios. So focus on recruiting new clients, encouraging existing clients to add new properties, expanding into new markets and regions, and even consider whether it might be a good idea to invest in buildings and developments of your own.
Taxes, insurance, materials, service and labor charges have increased, so using your expertise to streamline your outgoings is more crucial than ever.
Rising costs and cost efficiency are significant factors, given the global financial issues we're experiencing. To maintain profits while offering value, aim to be more efficient with your time and resources, finding ways to earn more without creating more effort. Again, consider leaning into technology to ease your workload while processing more contracts.
With new technologies replacing old-fashioned systems, there's a lot of opportunity for tech-savvy startups to enter the market. Also, I've noticed many realtors and estate agents are diversifying into property management as the number of properties in the market drops.
How do property managers ensure we stay on top? Well, we've got the benefit of our experience on our side. Unlike those building their operations from scratch, building on what you already have should offer tenants more streamlined, personalized, practical solutions and customer service.
Maintaining occupancy rates requires a steady stream of new tenants and holding on to the quality ones you have already. Tenant screening to ensure they're the type who can afford your higher-rate properties and extended stays is a must.
As a growing market, Gen-Z often needs to spend more on rent, with many still planning to buy property further down the road. How? Well, it's often down to the Baby Boomers (who own a decent percentage of existing properties) freeing up equity. Some Baby Boomers are choosing not to downsize and reap the benefits themselves, but to invest in their children's first steps onto the property ladder.
1. Machine learning and AI: Machine learning and AI are turning heads in every industry. It's no different in ours and within almost every area of operation. How can we utilize AI more efficiently? How about predicting maintenance operations, asset lifespans and lifecycles, tenant behaviors, market fluctuation, optimizing rental rates and seasonal pricing—all things we can build into our schedules to become more competent and pre-empt problems and emergencies? Predictive maintenance will also play its part in sustainability and energy planning—another critical trend area in our industry.
2. Big data, planning and decision-making: To take the tech a step further, how about using AI to predict potential investment opportunities by analyzing market and consumer trends? Property management software can utilize data to observe property performance, finances and tenant behavior, exploring key performance indicators and weak areas, leading to more data-driven decision-making for enhanced efficiency and profit.
3. Sustainability and lifestyle: Moving toward sustainability and greener opportunities, property managers can optimize energy consumption and waste management, use more renewable resources and provide tenants with added health and wellness, lifestyle quality and living experiences.
4. Smart/intelligent buildings: What were once high-end luxuries and marketing opportunities are now practical implementations for every rental. However, don’t take their integrations for granted. Virtual tours, automated lighting and heating sensors and systems, smart locks and digital check-ins and checkouts don't just make life easier for everyone, they provide a wealth of real-time data for more of that essential data-driven decision-making.
5. Blockchain transparency and security: With smart contracts and digital documents at the heart of new transactions, we can eliminate paper trails and many third-party elements. Blockchain provides transparent and secure historical interactions; and for investment situations, there's every possibility of simplifying processes and transactions.
6. Property management tools: Digital property management tools should be at the heart of every company's administration and function. Remote monitoring and automated services allow for massive improvement of operations. At the same time, the emphasis on mobile tools for users and managers enables us to manage more contracts wherever we are and whenever the need arises.
As these enhanced tools streamline our work, tenant and employee satisfaction rises, allowing both to concentrate on what they'd prefer to be doing with their time, becoming more productive or happier instead of wading through a field of demeaning or tedious manual tasks.
Whether you've got a crystal ball or not, there's much to do to keep pushing operations forward in the current landscape. Doing what you can to try and future-proof your services—or at least stay ahead of the curve—is more than necessary in our ever-evolving market. These trend suggestions are a few sensible choices to help build growth, stay current and strengthen returns.

Property management is the business of controlling and overseeing real estate, including residential and commercial rental properties. These professionals handle general maintenance and day-to-day operations on behalf of the property owner. They’re responsible for marketing properties, finding and screening tenants, collecting rent, and preparing units between leases. They may also handle repairs, evictions, and any problems that arise.
Professional property managers perform critical tasks throughout the leasing life cycle, from preparing a rental property, through tenant move-ins and move-outs. They can also provide referrals for legal advice, home repairs, and services that aren’t covered by the management agreement. Here are some of their key responsibilities:
Property management fees can vary substantially depending on the size of the property, number of units, and scope of service. Property owners can expect to pay one month of rent to fill vacant properties and 10% of the gross cash flow to manage the property. Investors should also account for monthly maintenance, contributions to a reserve repair fund, and early termination fees if they decide to cancel the property management contract. Evictions and other non-routine services typically cost extra.
Managing a property isn’t easy, and the job is even more difficult for out-of-state landlords. Thorough tenant screenings are the best way to prevent many common problems. Landlords should also maintain strong relationships with neighbors who can alert them if anything goes wrong. Investors who prefer a more hands-on approach should consider hiring a property manager to represent their interests.
Yes, in most states, property managers must have a real estate license to advertise rentals, show properties, sign lease agreements, collect rent, and perform other fiduciary activities. A community association manager license or similar certification may also be required for professionals who want to work for an HOA or apartment complex, although this credential is optional in most states.
Property managers differ significantly in their approach and level of expertise. It’s important for owners to screen potential candidates to ensure that they're choosing the most qualified professional. Here are a few questions to ask during the interview:
Yes, finding tenants and filling vacancies are key responsibilities for property managers. These professionals are responsible for advertising the property, and they handle all inquiries, applications, and showings. To find the most qualified tenants, managers perform background and credit checks, verify references, and confirm the applicant’s employment information, which can prevent problems and extra costs down the road.
Managing a vacation home or short-term rental requires a higher level of involvement when compared to other investment properties. Owners or managers must handle marketing, reservations, check-ins, and cleanings between stays. While a recent study by vacation rental marketplace HomeAway (now part of VRBO) reports that vacation rental income comprises about a quarter of the average rental owner’s income from investing just under 10 hours per week managing their rental, this type of hands-on involvement may not be possible for owners who live out of state or in another region. Professional property managers can assist with one or more tasks, such as cleanings and check-ins, or they can provide comprehensive management services to ensure that the property is generating revenue year-round.
Yes and no. Property managers may pay for repairs, but the cost is generally deducted from future rent payments or a reserve fund. In most cases, landlords are responsible for maintenance costs and improvements that are needed to preserve or enhance the property’s value. Management firms do coordinate repairs, and some have their own maintenance crews. They can also provide contractor referrals and handle work orders for routine repairs, such as cleaning, painting, plumbing, and changing locks between tenants. Many firms allow tenants to submit maintenance requests online, and they should also provide monthly expense reports showing owners how their money is being spent.
Yes, property managers can help to orchestrate the eviction process, from preparing the initial notices to appearing in court and working with law enforcement to ensure that the tenant leaves the property. Situations that warrant eviction include non-payment of rent, lease violations, and illegal activity. Property managers can help to determine the best course of action when dealing with problem tenants.
In most states, a property manager can sign a lease. Property owners can appoint a third party to act as a landlord by signing a contract with a management company or by giving power of attorney to a private individual. However, for the contract to be valid, the property manager must have the owner’s authorization.
Property managers aren’t cheap, but they’re a worthwhile investment in many cases. Managing a rental property requires time, experience, diligence, and attention to detail. Professional property managers can assist new landlords and long-term investors who have a growing portfolio of rentals. They’re also valuable partners for individuals who work full time, live out of state, or want to enjoy the financial rewards of an investment property without added stress and anxiety.
Unresponsive property managers cause problems for property owners and tenants. Reputable management firms should work hard for their fees. No landlord wants to hear from their tenants that the management company isn’t doing its job or is ignoring their concerns. If the manager is skipping routine inspections, accepting bad tenants, or failing to provide monthly expense reports, it’s probably time to hire someone else. Owners should interview several candidates, compare rates, and check references to find a more qualified manager.

HAPPY TENANT
ExcellI want to thank you for what has been a smooth transition from my previous property manager to Tourtelot. Your property managers are incredibly responsive, cooperative, and best of all, proactive. It’s refreshing to find such a high level of professionalism and service after having struggled so long to find a great property management company. My only regret is that I had not found you sooner! Thank you again for the excellent team you have managing my property.
Craig, California
I would like to commend you on your expert handling of an insurance issue at my condominium. I have always been able to rely on your good advice and a calm perspective when issues have come up over the years. You have always been easy to work with! Since I’m about 1600 miles away, your integrity, professionalism, and attention to detail makes it possible for me to get through the situations with confidence. You clearly have the best interests of your clients in mind, even a very small one like me! Tourtelot was recommended to me in 2004 by a friend in St Pete, and her recommendation has proved to be well founded.
Diane, Pennsylvania
I am writing to let you know that I am extremely impressed by the speed at which you were able to find a tenant for our home. I appreciate the professionalism of you and your staff in assisting us with our property, and look forward to our continued involvement. Having searched for different property managers and interviewing several agencies, the clear choice was with Tourtelot and I’m glad I went with you. The communication and attention to detail is what lead me to go with your company. Knowing that my house is good hands and now has a tenant is a great load off our shoulders especially considering the fact that we are now living in California and I am out of the country due to being active duty Navy; it is one less thing we have to worry about! Thanks.
Mario, California
I want to take this opportunity to express my thanks for the professionalism that my property manager exhibits in dealing with my property in St Petersburg. We can rely on him to quickly handle any issue that arises and he always has answers to our questions. It is a pleasure working with him. Very Truly Yours,
Thomas, Florida
I wanted to let you know what a great property manager we have; he is a real asset for Tourtelot. He has managed my townhome at Banyan Bay for about 7 years and has done a great job. He is a good communicator and has followed up on everything I have ever asked him to do. Companies are only as good as their people and Tourtelot is lucky to have such a manager! Thanks again.
Jim, North Carolina
I would just like to thank you for the wonderful job you did for me in renting my property. Your professionalism and coordinating the various vendors with competitive bids to prepare my property for leasing was a great relief for me. I would also like to thank you for suggesting that I rent the property for a higher price and leasing it to such a great tenant so quickly for me. It is a huge relief to me that you are managing the property for me and I would sincerely recommend your services to anyone. Thank you so much,
Miro, Florida
Your thoughtfulness is appreciated more than you know. We so appreciate your assistance in getting our property sold. Your property manager sure did a responsible job for us over the many years! Kind Regards,
Reinhold, California
I wish to inform you of a situation that happened this month with a tenant of mine in St Petersburg. They had an unfortunate breakdown of the refrigerator, where there was a loss of food and some important medications. They were in dire need of help in either getting the refrigerator repaired or replace immediately. Your property manager at Tourtelot assisted these tenants in procuring another refrigerator to replace the defective one quickly. My thanks go out to you and your company for the fine services and cooperation I receive.

The growing trend of "forever renters" — people who expect to rent properties for their entire lives rather than owning any — is contributing to an uptick in demand for luxury rentals .
With more renters and travelers seeking luxury vacation rentals, in particular, property managers are needed to vet renters or overnight guests, collect rents, and maintain properties. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported that property-management jobs are expected to grow faster than the average rate for all vocations through 2032.
Business Insider talked to two property managers about breaking into managing short-term vacation property and residential rentals, as well as the industry's future.
Karen Hatcher, the CEO of Sovereign Realty & Management , manages rentals across metro Atlanta. Before starting the company, Hatcher worked in corporate sales, but after seeing her now-husband successfully flip homes, she got her real-estate license and eventually began managing properties.
Although a four-year degree or certification isn't required, one state may have different requirements than another. In Georgia, property managers don't have to be licensed but must work with a licensed broker, Hatcher said.
She also said newcomers to real estate and property management should consider joining the Institute of Real Estate Management , which offers continuing education, skills classes, and networking. There are also a few industries that Hatcher said people may have an easier time transitioning from.
"Accounting or finance backgrounds provide a strong foundation because they focus on budgeting, financial analysis, and cash-flow management — all crucial for managing rental income and expenses," she said. "Sales experience is equally valuable, as property managers market vacancies, showcase properties, and negotiate leases."
Jobs with many moving parts, customer-service experience, and marketing roles also provide "a great launching pad" for breaking into property management, she added.
Rebekah Boley, the founder and CEO of Hotel Home Stays , an Arizona-based company that manages vacation rentals, got into her industry after purchasing a campground in Charlotte, North Carolina, and turning it into a glamping resort .
Unhappy with the service from the property-management company, Boley decided to develop her own, which has grown to include properties across the US. Boley said that having real-estate knowledge was a huge plus for prospective property managers.
"If you have a background in real estate, design, or contracting, you may have an advantage," she said. "Some soft skills required for this job are being organized, paying close attention to detail, knowing how to multitask, and being personable. It's also important to know that you may not have many days off."
No two days are exactly alike, Hatcher said, but she consistently responds to owner emails, reviews new leases, and meets with her team, which is in charge of fielding rental inquiries, conducting screenings, and coordinating move-ins and move-outs.
"While my team handles the front lines, I'm focused on the bigger picture. As CEO, I'm constantly analyzing our portfolio's performance, from occupancy rates to financials," she said. "I review market trends, adjust strategies as needed, and set goals to ensure we hit our targets. Training is also a regular part of my week, and staying up to date on the latest rental laws, technologies, and best practices is vital."
Boley said her work is usually more behind the scenes and that, like Hatcher, her typical day involves a lot of communication.
"Because the vacation-rental industry changes constantly, I'm always working on pricing and availability, making sure that the dynamic pricing is correct," she said. "My staff is also busy submitting insurance claims for damages or communicating with contractors."
Two of the biggest benefits property management can offer are great flexibility and a high earning potential. Property managers are usually paid a salary plus commission , an agreed-upon percentage of a monthly rental or nightly fee. Hatcher said another benefit was helping her property owners maximize profits, whether for retirement or long-term wealth creation.
"There's immense satisfaction in knowing that my work directly contributes to a client's financial security, whether through aggressive lease marketing, stringent expense control, or proactive maintenance," she said. "Seeing the positive results roll in is incredibly fulfilling."
Managing residential properties is different from managing vacation rentals because of the turnover rate. Vacation-property managers have to deal with the owner's expectations, but they also interact with guests expecting a certain level of customer service, which Boley said could be rewarding.
"Vacation-rental-property managers can make a decent income if their homes are making over $10K per month," Boley said. "Although income is rewarding, it's just as rewarding to see amazing reviews from guests who have loved their stay and sing our praises."
The industry has its challenges because of the high level of personal interaction, Hatcher said, but implementing efficient systems can reduce some of the biggest problems, like squatting and application scams , and help attract and onboard quality renters. Property management also requires professionals to be "on it" at all times, she added.
"You're dealing with people's homes, offices, or businesses, which is very personal to them," Hatcher said. "It requires amazing customer service, conflict-resolution skills, lots of follow-up, and the ability to prioritize many tasks. It's this mix of behind-the-scenes process work and frontline, hands-on management."
If you're getting into managing vacation rentals, the challenges are a bit different, as there are fluctuations that correspond with seasons, events, and weather. To succeed, you have to know the vacation market and keep up with the regulations around vacation rentals, Boley said.
"Vacation rentals are a niche market, and to perform at the top, you have to work extraordinarily hard," she said. "Most vacation rentals make less than $5,000 a month, so we focus on just the top luxury properties. You also have to ensure your product is in line with client expectations. Because the definition of 'luxury' is always changing in the market, there is an ongoing need to revamp and step it up."
Boley said the growth of the vacation-rental market took off during COVID -19 shutdowns as people realized the value of a vacation home , and many booked one for the first time. However, she said the future of luxury vacation rentals depended on the location and the freedom for landlords to rent out their properties.
"If cities continue to shut down the ability for people to operate vacation rentals, then the industry won't last," she said. "However, with more oversight and protection for guests, the industry will continue to grow and improve with time."
Hatcher is confident that the residential-property-management industry will continue to grow, fueled by the growing history of rental properties as profitable investments and landlords' desire to delegate the work around increasingly complex regulations for rental properties.
"In Atlanta, the opportunities seem endless. The city's thriving economy, fueled by industries like film and technology, is drawing new residents and investors," Hatcher said. "This creates a high demand for quality rental properties and, by extension, skilled property management."
She added, "Rental housing is becoming a larger share of the overall housing stock, and property managers will be needed to oversee these portfolios."
Business Journal Daily | The Youngstown Publishing Company
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The owner and property management company of the Realty Tower said in a statement that the building will be demolished to the fourth floor this weekend, clearing the way for downtown to begin to reopen.
A representative of Live Youngstown Property Management, the property manager, and YO Properties 47, the building owner, released the following statement Wednesday afternoon:
Pending the City of Youngstown’s official approval, residents and businesses can take the first steps toward re-establishing their routines at work and at home as early as next week (the week of August 19). This comes as Realty Tower’s property management and ownership announces the building’s demolition will be completed to the 4th floor by the weekend; a benchmark that promises to safely restore order and operations of businesses and residents.
“It is not a benchmark we ever imagined announcing for Realty Tower, but we can confirm that the demolition process will be complete enough to allow for the safe return of residents, businesses, and employees to their places of work and residence. Since the explosion, it has been a main focus of ours to do our part in restoring order downtown. We are optimistic about these next steps forward,” states Live Youngstown Property Management Group/YO 47 Properties.
The demolition benchmark means displaced residents of International Tower can return to their homes and the DoubleTree Hotel and Bistro 1907 are permitted to reopen for business. The DoubleTree Hotel will welcome guests beginning August 19, 2024.
“It is with hope for the future that we remain committed to the Realty Tower site. We have every intention of continuing our legacy of paying homage to Youngstown’s history while moving it toward a vibrant future,” Live Youngstown/YO 47 says. The group concludes, “The redevelopment of this site will be an extensive process. In the interim, the site will be leveled and will remain vacant as we begin the lengthy process of reimagining and planning a new project worthy of this historic site.”

According to data that is updated daily by the National Interagency Fire Center, wildfires are having major impacts across the country*:
For farms and ranches in particular, wildfires can devastate properties, livestock, and livelihoods within a matter of hours. Yet, with the right preparation, the impact of these natural disasters can be mitigated. Creating a comprehensive wildfire protection plan, conducting a wildfire risk assessment and implementing safety measures can help change the outcome if a wildfire hits your area.
Wildfires can cause extensive damage to farms and ranches including destroying buildings, crops, and pastures, leading to significant financial losses. Livestock are also at risk. Wildfires can cause injury or death to animals, and smoke can lead to long-term health issues. Understanding these risks is the first step towards effective wildfire preparedness.
A wildfire protection plan is crucial for farms and ranches. It outlines the steps to take before, during, and after a wildfire to protect people, animals, and property. The plan should include strategies for creating defensible space around buildings and livestock areas. It should also detail how to maintain a clear perimeter around crops and pastures. Here are more details:
A wildfire assessment checklist is a key tool to identify potential fire hazards on your property. It helps you understand your property's vulnerability to wildfires. The checklist should include:
Livestock and animals are a vital part of many farms and ranches. Their safety during a wildfire is paramount:
Creating an evacuation plan for livestock is crucial. This plan should include:
An emergency kit is a vital part of wildfire preparedness. It should be easily accessible and contain essential items. These include:
Training is a key aspect of wildfire preparedness. All farm and ranch personnel should be trained in emergency procedures. This includes understanding evacuation routes and knowing how to use fire safety equipment. Regular updates about wildfire threats should be shared with all staff and family members. This ensures everyone is informed and ready to act when necessary.
Working with local fire departments and emergency services is vital. They can provide valuable advice and support in wildfire preparedness. Establishing a good relationship with these services can also ensure quicker response times during a wildfire event.
After a wildfire, recovery can be a daunting task. It's important to have a post-wildfire recovery plan in place. This plan should include soil conservation and erosion control measures. It's also crucial to properly dispose of debris and damaged materials.
Insurance plays a key role in recovery. It's important to maintain an inventory of all assets for insurance purposes. Regular updates to this inventory can ensure accurate coverage.
Consulting an insurance agent will also ensure you are sufficiently protected. They can provide valuable insights and recommendations. For additional resources, utilize local community workshops and training sessions. Online platforms also offer real-time wildfire tracking and updates. Stay informed, stay prepared, and stay safe.
