Renters Warehouse is known for trademarking the term “rent estate” and for their expertise in single-family rental services. The company has many accolades, such as those from Stevie Awards, Better Business Bureau, and Outside Magazine. 

Speaking of SFRs, their tools for tracking prices, cash flow, equity projects, and assets is one of the most comprehensive ones we’ve seen. Through this, you can have more data to guide you in investing. 

Their property management services are complete, from paperwork to property maintenance, rent collection, and more. We found their fees, which are at $99 monthly per unit, to be affordable.

We also appreciate how transparent they are in providing the fees for property management account setup, eviction admin, and other services on their website. Through this, you can plan your budget prior to contacting them. 

You can also save money because they deduct up to 25%, depending on the length of the contract you’ll pursue with them. 

They also have multiple offices, including those based in Phoenix, Virginia, Florida, Utah, North Carolina, and Minnesota. If you also have rental properties here, Renters Warehouse is a very good choice for you. 

We especially like their Eviction Protection Plan which covers legal work, court fees, and paperwork filing for an additional fee. 

A downside with them is that not all of their additional services (such as Eviction Protection Plan and Tenant Liability) are available in all states. In particular, Phoenix only has access to the Eviction Protection Plan. 

Fort Lowell Realty and Property Management has been in the area since 1981, which is why their representatives have in-depth knowledge of its properties. They’ve handled more than 1,000 properties and are known for their fast registration process.

Many compliment their representatives for being responsive and helpful from registration to handling tenants. They also explain the scope of their services well, which we appreciate.

We like how thorough they are in tenant screening, and their low eviction rates speak for it. 

The online owner portal they provide is also well-made. Here, viewing invoices, owner statements, and management documents are easy. 

Given that they assign a few clients per manager, they can immediately address management and maintenance requests. 

We also liked how diverse their team is. They also have many years of experience in property management and have received excellent reviews from the customers we’ve contacted. 

The only downside is that they’re lacking more updated tools for both marketing and market analysis. Most of these still rely on traditional methods. 

Service Star Realty was founded in 2011 and has handled over 800 properties as of writing. They are known for their good service record. 

Specifically, they have a high renewal and occupancy rates. Also, they only have a 1% eviction rate, which is why it’s safe to say that they manage properties well. 

We like their dedication to providing continuing education for their staff to be knowledgeable of real estate statistics and trends. Also, the leaders of their company were awarded the Master Property Manager label by the National Association of Residential Property Managers.

You can feel more secure with tenants because of their Protection Process which thoroughly reviews tenants through a 21-point system. This also guarantees fast tenant placement (at about 14 days) and provides recorded inspections of their move-in and move-out. 

They also handle financing well, as we saw from the cash-flow analyzer tool that computes for you to get an idea of how much you can earn from your properties. Their representatives also explain investment benefits and risks well, which we appreciate. 

Their rate for their basic package is very affordable. This is at $69 for maintenance, video marketing, rent collection, and other necessities. 

However, we found their rates for the Gold and Platinum packages to be expensive (at $129 and $199 respectively). This includes add-ons such as video documentation, leasing guarantees, and tenant death insurance.

HomeQwik is known for being experts in handling upper-middle-income rental homes for single families. Their managers are locals in the area and have years of experience in handling properties. 

They’re affiliated and awarded by many organizations, including the National Association of Residential Property Managers, Equal Housing Opportunity, and Multiple Listing Services. 

The scope of their service is large and includes those in the Greater Phoenix Area and Prescott Quad City Area. If the properties you own are located here, you can receive faster responses for multiple requests. 

Technology is one of their strengths, and it’s very handy for handling accounting and real-estate market analysis. We also liked the simplicity by which their representatives explain these systems and how they can help in improving your property portfolio.

They have an affordable basic package rate priced at $89. This gives you access to lease preparation, tenant screening, market analysis, and other necessities.

However, the rates for their Gold and Platinum packages are expensive (at $139 and $189 respectively). Its additional features include a free renewal commission, six-month property condition reports, and free advertising. 

Goldenwest Management’s main selling point is their focus on owner-friendly rental property management. This can be seen in their tailored process made for marketing, advertising, and accounting; all of which prioritize your income.

This process was created through continuous market analysis and review of renters’ behavior, which makes it more reliable. They also use a technology-centered approach to their accounting and financial reporting, which makes viewing the status of payments and requests easier. 

Many have also complimented them for responding quickly to maintenance requests. They also make sure that the property managers are involved even in this aspect, which results in the fast resolution of tenant issues. 

Their pet screening service, which can be availed through their website, is very easy to use. With a fee of $20 and with its fast response rates, registering pets is a breeze. 

An important feature of Goldenwest is their managers’ expertise in ensuring better cash flow for clients. They go the extra mile by giving advice on how to maintain and expand your portfolio. 

However, they’ve received some complaints about providing unsatisfactory services for potential tenants who’ve booked an appointment for house viewings. This can result in longer times for assigning renters to your property. 

LHM Realty is a family-owned and operated company serving property owners and tenants in Phoenix Metro Area and the surrounding communities.

What made us recommend them is the fact that their market analysis helps them and landlords to make data-informed decisions about their rental property. This includes rate estimates and other information so they can invest and manage their investment property more wisely.

Additionally, they are one of the few companies that can successfully advertise your properties through multiple online listing services. You will definitely reach more people in a lesser amount of time compared to others.

With their transparent financial reporting, they have the most number of return clients. It has never been easier to keep tabs on your investment with their detailed financial reporting tools.

Clients can log into the owner portal anytime and anywhere to view statements and more.

The catch here is that they are closed on weekends and that their services are limited compared to others.
