Foundation Rental Property Services
~Why Foundation Rental Property Services?~
Everyone wants to save money.
Why did we start this company?
There is a need.
1. As a homeowner & landlord we understand the ins & outs of caring for a valuable asset, your real estate property.
2. We have received far too many calls from folks with the same complaint; my property management company is not managing my property.
Here are the complaints we are constantly hearing:
- No regular reports on property~ pictures, evaluation of house & grounds.
- Bad tenants.
- No property reviews.
- Sub quality maintenance/repairs (if any) in house maintenance workers; jack of all trades (supposedly) yet untrained masters of not one trade. Costs owners more money in the end.
- Monthly fees paid for nothing.
- Poor or non existent lawn/yard maintenance.
- Seasonal maintenance; zero.
- No one to answer calls and/or unreturned calls 95% of the time.
- Deposits not returned to tenants.
- Poor rental collection or non collection.
- Lack of tenant screening or poor screening.
- Disappearing property management companies.

Questions asked by folks like yourself:
How can I manage my own property?
If you manage your own home, you can manage nearly all major & minor aspects of your rental property. We'll show you how.
What if I live out of state?
No different than living in town, you aren't living in your rental property so you don't know what goes on behind close doors. We can be your eyes & ears.
What about maintenance?
Minimal, if you know how to design your lease... We also have some great tips.
It’s a good idea to plant the entire screen at the same time so that it remains uniform in appearance throughout growth. Be aware of how wide your plants will get as they grow so you give them enough room when planting. Check for drainage and sunlight needs, as well, as these will determine the health of your plants.
Do you have maintenance techs for emergency?
We have a pool of "professional" qualified licensed technicians in every field. Unlike property management companies who have "in house" maintenance. This is actually a disservice to you as they can actually ruin & destroy or make a problem worse costing you much more in the end. We have seen it happen.
