Rental properties are a fantastic active investment. However, as you accumulate multiple rental units, the challenges of managing them can become weighty. If you have had difficulty keeping units occupied by quality renters, been overwhelmed with maintenance requests, or had troublesome tenants that made eviction a possibility, you may have considered finding a better way and hiring a property manager.

In the age of the internet, the right photos are the first step in enticing renters to lease. The photos you use to showcase your property on listing sites are not only the first impression of the property but also the first impression of the management of the property. Taking professionally staged photos (even if you are not a professional photographer) is one way to communicate to potential renters the level of quality they will receive in other dealings with your company.
