Managing Your Own Katy Properties is Never a Good Idea

hiring a katy property management company
First-time real estate investors often choose landlording as their go-to strategy or specialty – and rightly so. Owning rental properties is an excellent way to build a diverse portfolio while simultaneously producing some steady monthly cash flow. However, it should also be noted that landlording isn’t for the faint of heart. If you’re new to the industry, managing your own rental properties is probably the worst mistake you can make…. [Read More]

Looking To Invest? 5 Listing Red Flags To Watch Out For

houston Real estate listing
If you’re looking to invest in properties, one skill you’ll need to hone is reading real estate listings. To the untrained eye, a real estate listing is a skeleton – a bare frame that’s only filled by photos and a tour of the property – but to the experienced reader, property descriptions are a code easily unraveled. What’s more, when you know how to read between the lines of a description, you also know how to write your own high-conversion rental listings…. [Read More]

I’m a real estate investor with portfolios in both Texas and Colorado and for the past year or so Leon and the team at Green Residential have done a stellar job managing my portfolio of more than a dozen houses and small multi-families in the Houston area. I have been VERY pleased with the way they have managed these properties.

Good property management is NOT easy to find and I personally went through a very lengthy and detailed interview process in which I considered several of Houston’s most highly rated property management companies and compared them on a number of factors including cost, competence, and flexibility in meeting owner’s needs. I selected Green Residential because they were highly competitive and in some cases really outperformed everyone else and I have not been disappointed. I have found the team here to be competent, experienced, and most importantly HONEST.

As a professional investor I’m a little bit surprised by some of the more critical owner reviews I have read on here. If your benchmark is perfection all comers will fall short, but consider what can go wrong with property management and I’ve seen it all happen… theft of your rent money, fabrication of invoices, referring of repairs to the owner’s brother in law who doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing, letting your property sit vacant for 6 months, HOA violations going unaddressed for which you’re never notified, horrible record keeping, money not being escrowed properly, owner distributions not coming on time or at all, fee structures that reward managers with more money every time they order a repair, invoices not provided, property statements poorly organized and unclear so you can’t tell the real story, tenants reporting dangerous repairs such as a leak or a dangerous safety issue and nobody responds and you get stuck with a giant bill or a lawsuit etc… None of these things have happened to me with Green Residential.

Money comes on time every month with clean easy to read statements and every single time I’ve had a question about anything I’ve received a very prompt courteous and sensible response, that is if the owner hasn’t already anticipated the question and called me about it personally. I would encourage anyone looking for a solid property management company to talk with Leon and give Green Residential serious consideration.

I cannot say enough good things about Green Residential! The staff is professional and courteous beyond expectation.

My husband and I had been in the process of purchasing a property and at the last minute decided not to move forward. We were already packed, had movers scheduled and were anxious to move when we began our search for a rental property.

Our first contact with Green Residential was Pam, the realtor who showed us a house perfectly suited to our needs. She was wonderful! Understanding our circumstances, she immediately went to work to expedite the lease and get us into the property of our dreams within three days although the property had only just been listed and make-ready had not been completed.

As soon as we were in the house, Leslie Green Wray took over to address the make-ready issues in a timely manner. She was also helpful in our transferring utilities, etc. on such short notice. She has truly gone out of her way to make us comfortable and happy in our new home!

I also want to commend the various service professionals Green has sent out for repairs…all trustworthy, courteous and efficient tradesmen!

We couldn’t be happier!!

7 Ways Every Homeowner Can Save up to $1,987 This Year

One of the biggest issues people have with renting is they’re throwing money down the drain when they could be building equity. And while this is true, don’t assume that home ownership is an easy ride. As a homeowner, you face several unique expenses. Over time, these can really start to add up.

6 Signs a Seller is Motivated to Unload Their House

When it comes to real estate negotiations, nothing is more important than leverage. The individual with the leverage is the individual who will ultimately come away with a more favorable outcome (assuming they’re able to couple the leverage with patience). From a buyer’s perspective, nothing gives you more leverage than knowing that a seller is… [Read More]
