BETTER TENANTS , BETTER PRICE , BETTER LIFE ­ RENTVEST TIM HOUGHTEN

What ’ s Different

In our interview the company spokesman explained that they are able to offer this deal , without sacrificing service thanks to a variety of efforts which streamline the management process and make it more efficient .
This is investor­centric management , operated by executives who have been real estate investors themselves . Spencer and his firm Gentry Real Estate are well known for buying and assisting other investors with acquiring foreclosure properties at trustee auctions . This perspective enables them to take the pain out of owning and managing rentals by understanding investor concerns , in tandem with the intuition needed for successful management that only comes with years of experience .
One of the firm ’ s mottos is “ Better tenants , better price , better life .” Spencer explains that this begins with thorough renter screening . He says “ there are plenty of tenants out there . It just makes sense to select the best quality tenants to ensure great performance .” That means background checks to screen out those with past felonies , past evictions , low credit scores .
RentVest has also optimized communications and relationships on both sides by increasing connection and responsiveness with dedicated management reps . Dedicated managers are assigned to a certain number of properties and have a direct connection with both the tenant and owner . You get to know them by name , and can reach your direct contact by email , and phone .
