Welcome to Stress-Free Property Ownership

At Palmer Rental Properties, we know that turning your property into a rental is a big step. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or renting out your first home, our owner onboarding process is designed to set you—and your property—up for success. This is where your partnership with us begins, and we make sure it’s simple, clear, and tailored to your needs.

What Is Owner Onboarding?

Owner onboarding is the first step of your rental journey with PRP, and it looks a little different depending on your goals.

For some owners, onboarding means the start of full-service management: we handle everything from tenant screening and lease agreements to maintenance requests and rent collection.
For others, it means tenant placement only: we market your property, find and screen prospective tenants, and then hand things back to you to self-manage.

This flexibility ensures you can choose the option that fits your lifestyle, investment strategy, and comfort level. Either way, onboarding provides you with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.

Step 1: Property Walkthrough & Evaluation

We begin by getting to know your property inside and out. Our team evaluates the home’s condition, recommends any small updates that can maximize rental income, and ensures the property is “rent-ready.” This is also when we discuss your goals—whether you want hands-off full management or just help finding tenants.

Step 2: Paperwork & Agreements

Transparency matters. During onboarding, we’ll walk through our agreements in plain language so you understand what to expect from us—and what’s expected of tenants. This is where we outline whether you’re choosing full-service management or tenant placement only.

Step 3: Marketing Your Property

Next, we put your property in front of the right audience. Professional photography, polished listings, and targeted marketing ensure that your home stands out online. From Zillow to social media, your rental will be seen where tenants are searching.

Step 4: Tenant Screening & Placement

Finding the right tenant is one of the most important parts of the process. We run thorough background checks, credit reviews, income verification, and rental history evaluations to give you peace of mind. If you’ve chosen tenant placement only, this is where our role ends and yours begins. If you’re full-service, we continue managing all tenant interactions and responsibilities.

Step 5: Handoff or Ongoing Management

Tenant Placement Only: Once we’ve secured a qualified tenant, we turn the lease and management responsibilities over to you.
Full-Service Management: We stay by your side, handling everything from rent collection and maintenance to tenant communications—so you can focus on life, not landlord stress.

Here’s What You Can Expect:

📸 Professional Photography & Marketing

We’ll arrange for high-quality, professional photos to showcase your rental in the best light. Once photos are complete, we’ll list your property across multiple platforms and share it within our extensive network of agents, social media channels, and tenant contacts to ensure maximum exposure.

👀 Showings to Qualified Tenants

We handle all tenant screening and in-person showings—only vetted, pre-qualified applicants will view your property. You can trust us to protect your time and your investment.

🔐 Key Exchange & Move-In Coordination

Once we’ve selected the right tenant, we manage the key exchange and facilitate any necessary introductions between tenant and landlord. You’ll remain informed and involved, but not overwhelmed.

Beyond the Basics: Ongoing Support & A La Carte Services

Some owners prefer a hands-off experience while others like to stay a bit more involved. We’re flexible. While we don’t collect rent or handle eviction processes, we do offer a wide range of support services such as:

🛠 Light Maintenance – Available as-needed or on retainer
🏡 Bi-Annual or On-Demand Walkthroughs – Includes a detailed condition report and photos
📞 Direct Owner Support – Call on us anytime for vendor coordination, scheduling, or property concerns

Looking for more coverage? We also offer optional maintenance packages that provide ongoing peace of mind. It’s like having your own property concierge service—only when you need it.
