Yes. Our team is intentionally staffed well above minimum requirements relative to our unit count. The Dayton and Southwest Ohio rental market demands more thorough maintenance oversight, hands-on tenant screening, and detailed property processing than many comparable markets. Our staff-to-unit ratio is healthy, and owners benefit from a team that has the capacity to give each property the attention it deserves.

We manage both. Our portfolio includes single-family homes and multifamily residential properties throughout Southwest Ohio.

We offer full-service residential property management including tenant placement and screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination and oversight, property inspections, lease renewals, eviction processing, year-end financial reporting, and Buildium owner portal access with real-time financial statements.

Our monthly management fee is 10% of gross rents collected. During vacancy, we charge a small fee to cover utility management oversight so your property's utilities are properly maintained while unoccupied. Lease renewals are $199 flat. We charge a 10% oversight fee on turns (unit preparation between tenants) and on external vendor invoices. We manage all vendor relationships and payments on your behalf -- owners pay IPM, and we pay vendors. Owner disbursements are made on or before the first week of the following month once rents have cleared.

We charge a small vacancy fee to cover utility management oversight while your property is unoccupied. This ensures utilities are properly maintained and the property stays in good condition between tenants. Our full 10% monthly management fee resumes once rent is collected.

We syndicate listings across all major rental platforms including Zillow, HotPads, Trulia, and Apartments.com. Prospective applicants go through a pre-screening process before scheduling a showing. We use a self-showing scheduler closely monitored by our leasing team, and typically achieve lease signing within two weeks of marketing in most Southwest Ohio markets.
