Investing in Royal Oak, MI with Own It Detroit

We stand behind our marketing efforts so confidently that we don’t charge a marketing fee until we place a qualified tenant in your property! 

That’s right! We do not charge an upfront fee to market your rental properties. Own It Detroit applies our years of experience in marketing rental properties in the Metro Detroit area until we find the right tenant before we assess our professional marketing fees. 

Are we looking for your first tenant? Maybe we’re starting the search for a replacement tenant when your existing renter doesn’t renew. Either way, we apply the same tried-and-true expert strategies to marketing. These strategies include:

• Applying rental market analysis to determine the best monthly rent price
• Using professional photos to create a compelling property listing
• Posting your property’s listing on the major renter search websites, including the Own It Detroit website
• Providing professional yard signage and other printed collateral

Our renewal process helps us minimize downtime between tenants. As soon as we know your tenant won’t renew their lease, we begin pre-advertising your property to find your next renter! 

To maximize your rental property’s exposure, we maintain a comprehensive list of top rental listing sites, including apartments.com, hotpads.com, rently.com, realtor.com, trulia.com, and zillow.com.

We start by placing only the best quality tenants in your rental properties. Quality tenants are neat, honest, credible, responsible, respectful, and take good care of your investment properties.

Own It Detroit also documents the condition of your property at move-in and move-out. This helps us hold tenants accountable for any property damage in excess of normal wear and tear.

Throughout the year, we perform routine property inspections. These efforts help us recognize maintenance needs or damage before they become a significant issue. With four inspections for each lease period, we keep a constant eye on your property—and stay ahead of repairs and seasonal maintenance.

Definitely not! Own It Detroit works for and on behalf of property owners. Once we start managing your property, we work according to your goals and with your direction. Our job is to apply our years of experience and property management services expertise to support your financial goals. 

Own It Detroit will always keep you informed about the status of your investment properties. Property owners are in charge! We simply help you get more out of your investments while you enjoy your free time.

With our aggressive marketing strategies, we ensure that we fill vacant properties as soon as possible. Our pre-advertising strategy and years of experience in the Metro Detroit market are especially effective at reducing vacancy times.

While every property and tenant search is unique, at times, we have been able to find a new tenant for empty rental properties within a day of becoming vacant. However, in slow seasons, it can take up to a month to find the right tenant for an investment property. 

Own It Detroit will never fill a vacant property with the wrong tenant to cut down on your vacancy time. Our goal is not only to fill empty properties quickly but also to fill them with long-term, quality tenants. Quality tenants pay the rent on time, care for your property, and will often renew their lease!

We consider a variety of methods to ensure that properties under our management stay competitively priced. Rental market analysis helps us stay informed about current conditions in the Metro Detroit area. When it’s appropriate, we adjust rental rates to stay competitive while maintaining the best quality tenants in your rental properties. 

Own It Detroit is committed to the highest returns on your investments! Our data-driven approach to setting rental rates keeps your properties competitive. Our years of experience help us master the techniques to maximize the potential profits for our property owners. 

With our team of property managers, you have peace of mind that your property will rent as quickly as possible, to the most qualified tenant, and at the highest rate possible.

Own It Detroit provides financial reports via email on a monthly basis as early in the month as we can. We also provide owners with a secure online portal to view all financial reports and information about your rental properties at any time. 

We pay our owners monthly between the 10th and 15th of every month.

Timely and quality property repairs and maintenance could mean the difference between success and failure for your investment properties. However, from our years of experience, we’ve learned that different property owners can have different ideas regarding repairs and maintenance.
