What your New Baltimore rental earns depends on what it is
New Baltimore is served by ZIP codes 48047, 48051. Within any one of them, unit type moves rent far more than the postal boundary does — a three-bedroom detached house and a one-bedroom condo on the same street are two different markets. Here is the shape of it.
| Product type | Who leases it | Est. monthly rent |
|---|---|---|
| One-bedroom apartment or condo | Entry product. Leases fastest, turns most often. | $850–$1,025 |
| Two-bedroom apartment, condo or duplex | The volume segment — widest applicant pool. | $1,025–$1,275 |
| Three-bedroom single-family home | The family-lease sweet spot: longest tenancies, lowest turnover cost. | $1,350–$1,725 |
| Four-bedroom or premium single-family | Smaller pool, longer marketing window, strongest gross rent. | $1,675–$2,225 |
Ranges are directional, built from New Baltimore, citywide medians and product type. Condition, finish level, garage, basement and school district all move the number — JMZ prices from comparable signed leases near your New Baltimore address.
Empty days cost more than management does
JMZ leases a home in 17 days on average. A self-managed New Baltimore turn typically runs far longer — listing photos wait for a weekend, showings wait for your schedule, and screening waits for whoever answers first. Move the slider to your rent and see what the difference is worth in a year.

Full-service management, run out of Novi — under an hour from New Baltimore
Our office sits at Twelve Mile and Haggerty in Novi, about 40 miles from New Baltimore. That proximity is operational, not decorative: showings get covered the same week, maintenance gets eyes on it, and a filing goes through the district court that serves New Baltimore without a learning curve.
Marketing with no budget cap
Every home gets a virtual tour, professional photography and syndication across the major rental portals. There is no ceiling on what we spend to fill your unit — vacancy costs you more than advertising costs us.
Screening that holds up
Credit, income verification, rental history, employment and criminal background on every adult applicant, applied consistently and in line with fair housing law. The tenant who signs is the tenant we would put in our own property.
Leasing and renewals
Michigan-compliant lease documents, security deposit handling under state law, move-in condition reports, and renewal negotiation ahead of expiry so you are not surprised by a turn.
Rent collection and accounting
Online payment for residents, enforcement when it is needed, and owner statements with real-time 24/7 access through the owner portal. Year-end documents arrive without you asking.
Maintenance, no markup
Vetted local vendors, 24-hour emergency response, and a 24–48 hour turnaround on communication. Any work order over $500 needs your approval with a contractor estimate first, and you are emailed on every work order.
Evictions and compliance
If it goes wrong we file, appear and see it through Macomb County’s district courts — plus rental registration and inspection handling with New Baltimore, which differs from one municipality to the next.
Rent that arrives whether your tenant pays or not
Most management companies collect rent for you but pass the risk of non-payment straight through — the tenant stops paying, you stop getting paid, and you wait out the eviction. The Guaranteed Rent Program works the other way. Once JMZ places a tenant in your New Baltimore property and approves that tenant for the program, JMZ pays your rent every month for 12 months, even if the tenant does not.
If we agree to take it on, the guarantee is its own contract — separate terms, conditions and fee structure from standard management.
We price and market it
A rental analysis on your specific New Baltimore address, then full marketing — including the reach of the MARK Z Real Estate Experts. New Baltimore rents differently than the city next to it.
We screen and place
Applicants go through JMZ screening criteria. Only a tenant JMZ itself finds, screens and places can carry the guarantee — not an existing tenant, and not one you or a third party placed.
We approve for the program
A second, separate sign-off at JMZ sole discretion. It is not automatic on lease approval: we are taking on 12 months of real financial exposure, so the bar is our own.
The 12-month clock starts
In the normal case rent simply flows and the guarantee sits unused. If the tenant misses a payment, JMZ pays you the guaranteed amount out of its own funds for the rest of the 12 months while we pursue collection and eviction separately.
| Guaranteed Rent Program | Standard Management | |
|---|---|---|
| Non-payment risk | Absorbed by JMZ for 12 months once an approved tenant is placed | Absorbed by the owner while the eviction plays out |
| Tenant approval | Standard screening plus an additional sole-discretion sign-off | Standard screening only |
| Best for | Owners who need income certainty — especially out-of-state or first-time landlords relying on rent to cover a mortgage | Owners comfortable carrying non-payment risk themselves |
| Contract | Separate agreement, separate fees and terms | Standard management agreement |
The Guaranteed Rent Program is a separate agreement from the standard management contract, with its own terms, tenant-approval standards and fee structure. Tenant approval for the guarantee is at JMZ sole discretion and is a distinct decision from ordinary lease approval. Review the actual contract with JMZ before enrolling a property.
Answers, straight
How much does property management cost in New Baltimore, MI?
JMZ charges 10% of monthly rent with a $100 monthly minimum. When JMZ fills a vacancy in a residential property, the leasing fee is the first month’s rent; there is no leasing fee on properties that come with a tenant already in place. No management fee is charged while the property is vacant. Lower rates may apply for large portfolios and multifamily properties.
What can I rent my New Baltimore property for?
Median gross rent in New Baltimore is $1,081 a month, but that blends apartments and houses together. A three-bedroom single-family home in New Baltimore typically runs $1,350–$1,725. We price from comparable signed leases within about a mile of your address rather than a portal estimate.
Does New Baltimore require a rental registration or inspection?
Rental registration, certificate-of-occupancy and inspection rules are set municipality by municipality in Michigan, and they change. We confirm current requirements with New Baltimore for every property we onboard, then handle scheduling, the inspection itself and any re-inspection on your behalf.
How long will my New Baltimore rental sit vacant?
The JMZ portfolio average is 17 days from listing to signed lease, against 98.4% occupancy across more than 1,000 properties. Rental vacancy in New Baltimore runs about 2.8%, so correctly priced homes lease in weeks rather than months.
Do you manage condos, duplexes and small multifamily in New Baltimore?
Yes. Roughly 18% of occupied homes in New Baltimore are renter-occupied, and a large share of that is condo, duplex and small multifamily rather than detached single-family. We manage single units, small buildings and whole portfolios, including HOA coordination for condos.
What is the Guaranteed Rent Program?
It is a 12-month rent guarantee that begins once JMZ places a tenant and separately approves that tenant, at its sole discretion, under the program. From then on, if the tenant stops paying, JMZ pays you the guaranteed monthly rent for the remainder of the 12 months while we pursue collection and, if necessary, eviction. It guarantees your income against tenant non-payment — not a specific leasing date.
Does the guarantee cover a tenant already living in my property?
No. The guarantee applies only to a tenant JMZ finds, screens and places under the program, on a property enrolled by signed agreement before that placement. It is a separate contract from standard management, with its own terms, tenant-approval standards and fee structure — review it with us before enrolling.
