Looking for hassle-free property management services for your overseas real estate investments? United Property Management (UPM) is your trusted partner. Our expertise lies in streamlining remote property management, addressing the challenges faced by overseas investors and ensuring optimal returns and tenant satisfaction.
Overseas landlords face challenges and difficulties
Mr. Li, a landlord residing overseas, faced numerous challenges in managing his Houston apartment. These included time differences, cultural and legal disparities, and difficulties in tenant management. With limited time available, addressing maintenance requests and monitoring repairs became a daunting task for him. This situation not only affected tenant satisfaction but also raised concerns about late rent payments and potential fines due to deposit mishandling.
After a year of laborious remote management, Mr. Li made the wise decision to seek a trusted property management partner. Among the available options, United Property Management (UPM) stood out as the best choice. As the flagship store of UMRE Realty Group, a leading global real estate company, UPM offers professionalism, extensive experience, and an in-depth understanding of Houston’s rental market and regulations. Our bilingual services ensure that overseas property owners have a clear understanding of tax reporting and property tax payment schedules, providing remote landlords with peace of mind.
Houston Rental Management Service: One-Stop Solution with Four Key Service Advantages
UPM offers comprehensive services, including rent collection, bookkeeping, property maintenance, and lease management. With our experience, we have achieved zero evictions and over 50% tenant retention, maximizing returns for nearly seventy properties. We are dedicated to serving Asian-owned properties and out-of-state/overseas investors, providing confidence in Houston real estate investment.
We understand the pain points of investors and have developed four service advantages to address them effectively:
1.Timely Rent Collection and Accurate Bookkeeping:
UPM will collect rent from tenants on your behalf and maintain precise bookkeeping. Tenants’ deposits will be securely held in an escrow account, with deductions made only for necessary items. Furthermore, we guarantee the return of the deposit to the tenant within 30 days after moving out to avoid any potential triple penalties. We ensure that tenants pay rent on time and levy appropriate late fees for overdue payments. In cases where a tenant refuses to pay rent or violates the lease agreement, we initiate the eviction process.
2.Property Maintenance and Repairs:
When tenants have maintenance requests, UPM responds promptly within 24 hours on business days. We contact professionals to assess repair responsibilities and cost allocation, and we coordinate repairs among all parties involved while closely monitoring the progress. Our aim is to ensure swift and satisfactory resolution of any problems.
3.Establishing a Good Relationship with Tenants:
UPM adopts a win-win strategy when managing relationships with tenants, encouraging them to take care of the property. In cases where a tenant violates the lease agreement, our team kindly reminds them to comply with the rental terms. We also regularly remind tenants of their home maintenance responsibilities and their duty to protect the property properly. Furthermore, we actively communicate with tenants to ensure timely rent payments and avoid late fees.
4.Ensuring a Partnership with Property Owners:
As a reliable property management partner, UPM includes the rent received each month as payable accounts and sends property owners a statement of account and net rent due by the 20th of each month. We also prepare annual statements and tax documents (Form 1099) for property owners. Additionally, we provide advance notice to tenants before the lease expires, facilitating lease extensions or arranging property inspections and necessary repairs after tenants move out. Our aim is to minimize vacancy time and optimize the property’s performance.
