Top 5 Reasons to Work with Northwoods Property Management
1. Avoid Vacant Rental Properties
At Northwoods Property Management, we do everything it takes to successfully market your vacant rental property.
We understand that a vacant unit can significantly impact your bottom line, so our goal is to minimize downtime and attract quality tenants quickly using a strategic marketing process.
Before crafting any listings, we start by setting the most competitive rental rate for your home. That is, one that will attract renters without leaving money on the table.
Then, we create a property listing that features engaging virtual tours and more to help showcase your property’s best features to prospective tenants.
Once your listing is ready, we post your home on top rental platforms to expand its reach and maximize exposure, attracting a wide pool of prospective tenants. We then handle all inquiries and schedule showings to get your home rented fast.
With us by your side, you will enjoy shorter vacancy periods and go back to earning stable rental income!
2. Say Goodbye to Problem Tenants
Our marketing process helps us reach a wide pool of prospective tenants, but not all tenants are created equal. That’s why, at Northwoods Property Management, we never skip conducting a thorough tenant screening on every applicant.
Our screening process helps us identify qualified tenants who pay rent on time, care for your property and abide by the terms of the lease.
Our screening process includes, but is not limited to:
- Verifying identity to ensure accurate applicant information
- Reviewing credit history to assess financial responsibility
- Conducting criminal background checks to ensure safety
- Confirming income to evaluate rent affordability
- Validating employment for reliability
- Evaluating rental history, including contacting previous landlords
- Checking for prior evictions or legal filing
In doing so, we increase our chances of placing reliable and respectful tenants in your home, which avoids both short-term and long-term problems.
Please note that our tenant screening process is applied to every applicant and is fully compliant with Oregon Fair Housing laws.
3. Stop Chasing After Rent
If you’ve ever dealt with late or missed rent payments, you know how disruptive it can be. Without a reliable rent collection process, your cash flow is interrupted, which can negatively impact your investment.
That’s why we’ve implemented a streamlined rent collection process that makes paying rent simple and convenient for tenants – and most importantly, makes collecting rent easy for you.
We provide tenants with an online tenant portal where they can make their rent payments every single month. The portal can also send automatic reminders so that tenants never forget when a due date is approaching.
As the property owner, you also have access to a secure online portal where you can track rent payments and stay up to date on your property’s financial activity.
When you work with us, collecting rent will become effortless, ensuring timely payments and consistent cash flow every month.
While extremely rare, if a tenant does happen to miss a payment, we will handle all communication and send any appropriate legal notices. If the situation doesn’t improve, we begin the legal Oregon eviction process to safeguard your investment.
4. Save Time and Money on Maintenance and Repairs
Property maintenance is a responsibility that is often overlooked, but at Northwoods Property Management, we take it very seriously.
We know that proper property maintenance and timely repairs not only enhance property value but also keep tenants satisfied, ensure safety and protect your investment – so we don’t take this responsibility lightly.
We oversee and manage everything, from routine maintenance and emergency issues to yearly inspections and timely repairs.
Tenants can easily submit maintenance requests through their online portal, and we ensure each issue is addressed promptly and efficiently to help ensure that your property is in excellent condition year-round.
While many property management companies charge markups or 'coordination fees' on top of repair bills, we do not. At Northwoods Property Management, professional maintenance oversight and coordination are fully included in your monthly management fee. You only pay the actual cost of the repair—we never add hidden surcharges, markup vendor invoices, or charge extra for handling maintenance requests. You get transparent pricing and the peace of mind that we are looking after your property without extra costs to your bottom line.
5. Forget About Paperwork Troubles
Owning residential properties in Oregon involves a lot of paperwork and the management of many financial documents. This can quickly feel overwhelming, especially for new property owners.
That’s why, at Northwoods Property Management, we provide you with 24/7 access to an online portal where you can view all your financial documents in one spot.
Among other things, the online portal gives you access to organized and easy-to-understand:
- Monthly income and expense statements
- Maintenance and repair reports
- Year-end financial summaries for tax preparation
- Tenant lease documents and renewals
- Rent payment tracking
When you understand your finances, you can track your property’s performance and identify opportunities for growth more easily.
Detailed financial reporting services are so important – and luckily, we offer them for all our property owners!
