While the reasons our clients choose professional management vary, here are some of the key reasons many people elect professional management over self-management:

• We handle maintenance and emergency repairs, allowing you to sleep at night.
• We collect the rents and serve the proper notices upon failure to pay.
• We keep abreast of and apply the correct federal, state, and local laws, keeping you and your investment out of trouble.
• We know the local market, have an extensive network of contacts, and have resources available to us at discounted rates. We also advertise on various websites and search engines that are free to the owner.  This allows us to effectively market your vacant home to prospective residents to get it filled.
• After you add up the increased rent we can often command, the discounts you'll receive on advertising, and the company rate we get on repairs, you'll often make more money than if you managed the property yourself!

We make owning a rental property simple with our proven management processes.  Your property value will be enhanced, and you will have peace of mind.

Young Hawaii Homes is owned and operated by an experienced team who works hard to serve owners and investors by controlling costs and minimizing vacancies.  We are able to show properties after business hours and on weekends to get your property rented quicker.

We comply fully with the Fair Housing Act.  This means that you cannot choose to disallow anyone that is a member of a protected class under the act.  You can choose to disallow pets and not permit smoking in your home, but you cannot deny a service animal.  After November 1, 2013, we will be allowed to collect a pet deposit (but not for a service animal).

If you have additional questions on the specifics of the Fair Housing Act, please see our fair housing page.

We select a tenant based on the rental application and credit check.   We meet with the tenant to discuss the information on their application.  We generally require that the tenant makes three times the advertised rent, or has a qualified co-signer or guarantor.  We contact the current and previous landlords.   We collect an application fee to run a credit and criminal background check.

 Properly screening the tenant helps to ensure that the rents will be paid on time and that the tenant will keep the property in good condition.
