Build Wealth With Your Investment Properties

Managing a rental property is a game of tenants and toilets. But investing should be about ease and profit via exceptional asset management.

Other people have rentals… YOU have investments.

The Difference Between Property Management and Asset Management

Property Management

  • Marketing vacancies
  • Screening tenants
  • Lease signing
  • Rent collection
  • Handling tenant issues
  • Maintenance & repairs
  • Move-in/move-out
  • Evictions
  • Accounting

Asset Management

  • Investment management seeks to maximize short and long-term property value
  • Maximize operating income which defines your future property valuation
  • Track property value appreciation over time
  • Plan for capital investments (e.g., roofing, hot water heaters)
  • Incorporates tax impacts of depreciation, interest payments, and other deductibles
  • Minimize tenant turnover and unnecessary expenses
  • Track growth in property equity
  • Investment management brings a holistic view to managing properties to optimize your wealth

Goal Alignment Between You and Your Property Manager

Our Wealth Optimizer service generates a plan that helps you and your Real Property Management office achieve your investment objectives. By focusing on short and long-term value for your property investment, we understand your goals and can act accordingly.

We help you understand the key variables that will affect your revenue and expenses now and in the future. With proper planning, you can anticipate and smooth out the costs associated with vacancies and capital improvements and keep track of your investment’s appreciation over time.

Real Property Management’s Wealth Optimizer Service

Managing a rental property and managing a property investment are different. Managing a property involves transactional activities such as marketing vacancies, screening tenants, collecting rent, and handling tenant activities. Managing a property investment involves these activities but adds deeper financial analysis to the process.

Insights, understanding, and planning drive better investment decisions. Contact us to discuss our proprietary Wealth Optimizer, which will provide you immense insight into your properties and help you make long-term investment decisions. Download our introductory brochure on Wealth Optimizer and join those who know the difference between a professional money manager and all the rest.

Wealth Optimizer is best for discerning property investors. This advanced level of service is for investors who want to build long-term value from their property, and especially those who have or plan to have multiple investment properties. It is ideal for investors who seek to treat their property as an investment for the future, and not simply a short-term cash generator. This service level is for those who want to plan for capital expenditures and tenant vacancies, and not be surprised by them as they occur. It is for those who want a complete financial picture of their property investment.
