Why Highland Is a Great Place to Live and Own Property
If you are looking for a city that is both beautiful, and proud of its history and tradition, then Highland is the right place. The city of Highland, nestled in the San Bernardino mountains, is a wonderful blend of both old and new – many of the buildings built during the 1890’s era still stand today and are, in fact, re still in use..
Highland is a mainly residential community with a wide array of affordable housing options, including new residential developments currently being built. Adding to these, Highland now serves as home to the East Highlands Ranch, a beautiful master-planned community that offers premium housing and private recreation facilities.
Further, the community of Highland has many excellent schools that meet the educational needs of its residents. Highland is a short 45 minute drive away from Palm Springs and is close enough to all of Southern California’s other recreational and cultural attractions.
The real estate market in Highland is thriving. Median sales prices for homes are $300,000 and median rents average per month at $1,800.
Owning Highland Rental Property As An Investor – Consider a Property Manager
If you own property that you purchased as an investment, renting it out and keeping it rented certainly maximizes the investment. There are, however, challenges that come with doing this.
Marketing your property and showing it to prospective tenants, tenant screening and finding quality tenants, collecting rent and ensuring tenant satisfaction are some of the things you have to consider when renting you property out. Not to mention those phone calls at 2AM.
Experienced real estate investors know that the best way to go about this would be to enlist the services of a good property management company. At Solid Ground, you can bank on our experience to help you with Highland Property Management.
How does Solid Ground help when we handle your Highland Property Management concerns?
1.Quality Tenants. Our trained eyes know what to look for when screening tenant candidates to welcome to your property. With our experience, we will match you up with tenants who pay their rent on time, rent the property long term, treat your property with care and ultimately, cause minimal amount of damage, stress and problems. Because we have developed a consistent screening process, you are shielded from rental scams or any discrimination lawsuits that result from an inconsistent screening process.
2.We Take Care of the Legalities.At Solid Ground Property Management, we make sure we stay current with regards to landlord-tenant laws. We will help you with legal matters such as tenant screening laws, safety conditions related to your property, eviction laws and procedures, inspection regulations, leasing laws and addendums, lease termination laws and procedures, security deposit requirements and rent collecting and late fee regulations. And that’s a big load off of your shoulders!
3.We Ensure Tenant Satisfaction. High tenant turnover has two implications – lost rent and more seriously, the expensive and time-consuming process of a turnover. Constantly having your property vacated and rented out again also means constantly going through the process of having it “show worthy” – deep cleaning, changing of locks, repainting and perhaps minor repairs. This could get costly.
Add to this the effort of marketing, showing, screening and settling in new tenants each time. Solid Ground Property Management will ensure that your property is well maintained so your tenants are satisfied. We are here to quickly respond to your tenant’s concerns.
4.We Make Sure Your Rent Is On Time. Since we are an independent “disinterested” party and this is our job, rent collection becomes efficient. We make sure that your tenants pay their rent on time, follow up when they are late and initiate the eviction process if necessary if there are violations to the terms of the lease. You are freed from the haggling and hearing excuses and promises. What a relief! This alone is worth it.
5.We Help You Increase the Value of Your Investment. As your property manager, Solid Ground will help you with the following:
- Market your property. We know the best most effective places and ways to market your property to get it rented quickly for the best price.
- Improve and prepare the property for rent – We will suggest and oversee cosmetic improvements that maximize revenue.
- Help you determine the best rent rate – Determining the optimal price requires knowledge of the local market, data on recently rented comparables, and access to rental rate tools. Of course, the decision is yours, but we can provide valuable input because we know the local market well.
