Power Properties handles every part of managing your rental home so you don’t have to. We take care of the full lifecycle of a tenancy — from finding qualified tenants to coordinating move-ins, managing day-to-day communication, overseeing maintenance, handling lease renewals, and completing move-outs.
As a full-service management company, we screen tenants, prepare leases, collect rent, schedule inspections, manage repairs, and ensure your property stays compliant with Alberta’s tenancy laws. Our team also keeps you updated through clear, consistent communication and provides detailed financial reporting each month.
Most landlords hire a property manager to save time, reduce stress, and protect their investment. Managing a rental may look simple from the outside, but it often involves late-night maintenance calls, tracking rent payments, screening tenants, preparing legal documents, handling disputes, and keeping up with changing tenancy laws.
Power Properties takes all of that off your plate. We handle the day-to-day work so your rental stays a passive investment, not a second job. That means you can focus on the things that matter most — your career, your family, your friends, and your life — without worrying about missed payments, emergency repairs, or tenant issues.
Hiring a professional management company gives you peace of mind, consistent processes, and a team whose full-time job is to protect your property and keep things running smoothly.
The biggest benefit is peace of mind. Power Properties takes care of the daily work involved in renting out a home — screening tenants, collecting rent, coordinating maintenance, handling renewals, and making sure your property stays compliant with Alberta’s tenancy laws.
Because we operate in Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, and Medicine Hat, our team understands each city’s rental trends, demand patterns, and neighbourhood differences. That local knowledge helps you price your home correctly, find qualified tenants faster, and reduce vacancy.
A professional property manager also gives you consistent processes, documented communication, reliable contractors, and a buffer between you and your tenants. Instead of fielding calls or navigating issues yourself, you have an experienced team protecting your property, your time, and your investment.
A full-service property manager like Power Properties protects your rental through a complete, end-to-end approach that covers both the people living in your home and the condition of the property itself. Everything we do is designed to reduce risk, prevent issues, and keep your investment performing well over time.
Protection starts with thorough tenant screening — including credit checks, employment verification, income confirmation, and rental history review — so only qualified applicants are approved. Once a tenant moves in, we stay proactive: we complete two inspections in the first year and annual inspections after that, giving us the chance to identify preventative maintenance needs and ensure the home is being looked after.
We also handle all rent collection, enforce lease terms, and maintain full compliance with Alberta’s Residential Tenancies Act, which protects you from legal and financial exposure. If something urgent happens, our 24/7 emergency line ensures issues like leaks, no-heat calls, or other emergencies are addressed quickly.
For owners who want an extra layer of protection, we also offer an optional master insurance program to help ensure your coverage aligns with the needs of a rental property.
Overall, Power Properties protects your property by staying involved, staying proactive, and keeping your best interests at the center of every decision.
Yes, absolutely. Power Properties works with many first-time landlords, whether you’re intentionally getting into real estate investing or you’ve become an accidental landlord through life changes. Managing a rental property is a job in itself, and it often takes years to understand the laws, processes, and situations that come up with tenants, maintenance, and ongoing property care.
If this is your first rental, there are a lot of details you may not know yet, and that is completely normal. Our team handles the entire process for you: screening tenants, preparing leases, collecting rent, coordinating repairs, completing inspections, and keeping your property compliant with Alberta’s tenancy laws. That way, you can focus on building equity and growing your portfolio while we take care of the day-to-day management.
Our goal is to make owning a rental property feel simple, even if it is your very first one.
When you’re choosing a property management company, the most important thing is finding a team you can trust. Look for a company that is well established, has a strong reputation in the community, and has a proven track record of managing rentals successfully. Checking Google reviews is a great place to start, and it’s just as important to see how the company responds to negative feedback as it is to look at the positive reviews. A professional company should communicate clearly, take accountability, and show that they care about both owners and tenants.
Experience and proper systems matter too. Property management is not a simple side job, and it requires consistent processes, reliable software, and a team that knows how to stay compliant with tenancy laws, handle emergencies, screen tenants, and manage the financial side of a rental. Choosing the cheapest option or working with someone who is new and still figuring out their systems can cost you more in the long run through mistakes, missed rent, or preventable issues.
It’s also worth looking at whether the company has earned industry recognition or awards, since those often reflect long-term professionalism and ethical business practices. Overall, you want a company that is organized, responsive, knowledgeable, and equipped to protect your investment from day one.
It depends on the type of property management service you choose and how involved you want to be. Some companies offer tenant placement or lease-only services for owners who want to stay hands-on with the day-to-day operations but need help finding a qualified tenant and preparing the lease. This can work well for landlords who are comfortable managing maintenance, inspections, rent collection, and tenant communication on their own.
If you prefer a completely hands-off approach, you will want to look for a company that provides full-service management. Full-service means the property manager handles the entire tenancy from start to finish, including screening tenants, collecting rent, coordinating repairs, completing inspections, managing renewals, and overseeing move-outs.
Power Properties is a full-service management company. Most owners who work with us choose the hands-off approach so their rental remains a simple, passive investment, while still having the option to stay informed or request updates when needed.
Once your property is rented and everything is running smoothly, you likely won’t hear from us very often. Power Properties manages the day-to-day work quietly in the background, and most communication happens only when something requires your input or approval. You will receive monthly financial statements showing your income and expenses, along with copies of inspection reports and any related invoices.
You will never be in direct contact with your tenants. All communication, questions, concerns, and maintenance requests come to us, and if there is anything you need to know or approve, we will relay that information to you. This keeps things simple and ensures communication stays organized and consistent.
Outside of that, we typically reach out once a year to complete a market assessment and discuss the upcoming lease renewal. This is when we review tenant performance, confirm whether a renewal makes sense, and recommend an updated rental rate based on current market conditions.
If a significant issue arises, you will hear from us right away. Otherwise, no news usually means everything is going exactly as it should.
Your first meeting with Power Properties is a free, no-obligation consultation where we walk you through exactly how our management services work. We meet you at your property to complete a rental evaluation, discuss the current market, and answer any questions you may have about pricing, tenant expectations, or the overall process. We also review our services, fees, and paperwork so you have a clear understanding of what full-service management includes.
If you decide to move forward, we can complete the onboarding documents right away. Once everything is signed, we arrange for professional photos and begin preparing your listing for advertising. The goal of the first meeting is to give you all the information you need and make the transition into management simple and straightforward.
The property managers at Power Properties are fully licensed through the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA), and their licenses are renewed each year through ongoing education requirements. We are also active members of the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB) and the Calgary Residential Rental Association (CRRA), which gives our team access to seminars, legal updates, and industry best practices.
With more than 45 years of experience, our team has handled almost every situation that can come up in a tenancy. That background, combined with continuous training, helps ensure your property stays compliant with Alberta’s tenancy laws throughout the entire rental cycle.
Full-service property management covers the entire lifecycle of your rental property, from the first meeting through ongoing tenancies. At Power Properties, it starts with a free rental evaluation where we review your property, discuss market conditions, and walk through our services, fees, and paperwork. If you decide to move forward, we complete the onboarding documents and begin preparing the property for the market.
We handle all marketing, including professional photography, advertising, and showings. Interested applicants complete an application, and we screen tenants before moving forward with lease preparation. Once a tenant is approved, we prepare and sign the lease, confirm tenant insurance and utility setup, and complete a detailed move-in inspection with written notes and photos before handing over the keys.
After move-in, we manage all tenant communication, rent collection, and maintenance coordination. Owners receive monthly financial statements showing income and expenses, and rent is deposited automatically. We complete two inspections during the first year and continue with regular inspections after that to monitor the condition of the property.
Before each lease ends, we complete a market review and provide a recommendation on whether to renew and what the updated rental rate should be. Once approved, we handle the renewal process directly with the tenant. If a tenant chooses not to renew, we begin marketing the property proactively to reduce vacancy and transition smoothly into the next tenancy.
Full-service management means the owner is not involved in day-to-day operations. We manage every step of the process so your rental remains hands-off, well maintained, and consistently performing over time.
Yes. Power Properties manages single-family homes, duplexes, and multi-unit residential properties for private landlords and real estate investors. Our full-service management approach is designed to support owners of residential rentals, whether they own one property or multiple units.
For these types of properties, we handle the entire tenancy lifecycle, including marketing, tenant screening, leasing, rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections, renewals, and move-outs. Our goal is to make ownership as hands-off as possible while ensuring the property is well maintained and performing as expected.
This type of management is ideal for owners who want professional oversight, consistent processes, and experienced support without having to manage day-to-day operations themselves.
Yes, Power Properties manages individual townhouse and condominium units for owners. We provide full-service property management for the unit itself, including leasing, tenant communication, rent collection, inspections, maintenance coordination, and renewals.
It’s important to understand the difference between a condo and an apartment building. In a condominium, each unit is individually owned and the building and common areas are managed by a condo corporation. Power Properties does not manage condo corporations or common areas, but we manage the individual unit while working within the condo board’s rules and bylaws.
es. At Power Properties, you will have a dedicated property manager who is responsible for your rental property and serves as your main point of contact. Each property manager oversees their own portfolio and is accountable for everything related to the properties they manage.
As a property manager’s portfolio grows, they are supported by administrative staff and internal systems, but all decisions, approvals, and oversight still flow through your assigned property manager. This ensures consistency, accountability, and clear communication.
Having one primary contact means you always know who is managing your property, while still benefiting from the support and experience of a larger team behind the scenes.
Power Properties focuses on preventative maintenance to keep rental properties in good condition over the long term. This is primarily done through regular inspections, including annual preventative maintenance inspections once a tenancy is established.
During these inspections, we review the overall condition of the property and look for early signs of wear, damage, or maintenance issues. Any concerns are documented, and we provide recommendations to the owner, noting which items are urgent and which can be planned for later. Addressing smaller issues early helps prevent more costly repairs down the road and protects the long-term value of the property.
Yes. Power Properties handles all communication with your tenants on your behalf. Owners are not expected to communicate directly with tenants, and in most cases, it’s best that they don’t. Having a single point of contact helps keep communication clear, professional, and consistent.
By acting as the intermediary, we’re able to manage requests, enforce lease terms, and address issues without emotion or unnecessary back and forth. This structure protects both the owner and the tenant and helps prevent misunderstandings or conflicts.
If there is anything that requires your input or approval, we will communicate that to you directly. Otherwise, tenant communication is fully managed by our team as part of our full-service property management.
Yes, absolutely. Power Properties manages rentals for many owners who live outside the city, outside the province, or even outside the country. In fact, this is one of the main reasons property management exists. We act as your local representative and handle everything on the ground so you don’t need to be physically present.
All documents, financial statements, inspection reports, and updates are handled electronically and made available through your owner portal. This allows you to stay informed and access everything you need from anywhere, without being involved in day-to-day management.
Whether you’re nearby or living abroad, your property is managed the same way, with consistent oversight, communication, and professional support.
Yes, you can still be involved in key decisions, but the day-to-day management is handled by Power Properties so you don’t have to manage the details yourself. That balance is exactly why most owners choose full-service property management.
We will always keep you informed and ask for your approval on major decisions, such as rental pricing, lease renewals, and significant maintenance items that go beyond normal repairs. Before each renewal, we complete a market review, provide a recommended rental rate, and confirm how you would like to proceed before moving forward with the tenant.
Outside of those larger decisions, we manage the ongoing operations independently. This allows your rental to run smoothly while still giving you control where it matters most, without requiring your time or attention on a daily basis.
Power Properties handles tenant issues and conflicts professionally, consistently, and in accordance with Alberta’s tenancy laws. As experienced property managers, we approach situations objectively and focus on clear communication, proper documentation, and fair enforcement of the lease. Our role is to act in your best interest while keeping interactions transparent and compliant.
Most issues can be resolved through structured communication and setting clear expectations. In more challenging situations, we rely on our experience and knowledge of the Residential Tenancies Act to determine the appropriate next steps. All tenants are placed on fixed-term leases, which gives us the ability to address ongoing issues at renewal time if a tenancy is not a good fit. While this is relatively rare, it is an important tool for protecting the property and the owner.
With more than 45 years in business, our team has seen a wide range of situations and knows how to manage them calmly and effectively. Handling conflict is part of what you hire a property manager for, so you don’t have to be involved in difficult conversations or stressful situations yourself.
If you need to take back possession of your property, the most straightforward time to do so is at lease renewal. Because Power Properties uses fixed-term leases, we can choose not to renew the tenancy at the end of the lease term, which allows you to move back into the property or prepare it for sale at that time.
If you decide to end your management agreement, the agreement can be terminated with the required notice period or the applicable termination fee, as outlined in your contract. We walk you through that process so everything is handled properly.
It’s important to note that under Alberta tenancy laws, a fixed-term lease must remain in place until it expires, even if you plan to sell the property or take it back for personal use. If the property is sold during a fixed-term lease, the lease transfers to the new owner and must be honoured until the end of the term.
We help owners plan ahead so timing, renewals, and next steps align with their goals.
The main difference comes down to how much responsibility the owner wants to take on after a tenant is placed. Tenant placement, sometimes called lease-only service, covers the front end of the rental process. This typically includes advertising the property, conducting showings, screening applicants, preparing and signing the lease, collecting the security deposit, and completing the move-in. Once the tenant is in place, management of the property is handed back to the owner, who then takes on rent collection, maintenance, communication, inspections, and compliance going forward.
Full-service property management includes everything in tenant placement, plus ongoing management for the entire tenancy. That means handling rent collection, maintenance coordination, tenant communication, inspections, renewals, and move-outs, all on an ongoing basis. The owner is not responsible for day-to-day operations.
In many cases, tenant placement services are priced around one month of rent. When compared to the cost of full-service management over an entire year, the difference is often smaller than owners expect. For that reason, many landlords choose full-service management so their rental remains hands-off and professionally managed long term.
Yes. Power Properties manages a wide range of residential rental properties, including higher-end and luxury homes. Our full-service management approach is the same regardless of property type, with attention to detail, strong tenant screening, professional marketing, and proactive maintenance.
Yes. All property managers at Power Properties are licensed through the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA). These licenses must be renewed each year and require ongoing education to ensure property managers stay current with Alberta’s tenancy laws and industry standards.
Licensing helps ensure your property is managed professionally, ethically, and in compliance with provincial regulations.
Full-service property management is worth the cost because it protects both your time and your investment. Managing a rental properly involves far more than finding a tenant. It requires consistent oversight, legal compliance, reliable systems, and the ability to respond quickly and professionally when issues come up. For most owners, trying to handle all of that on their own turns a rental into a second job.
Power Properties takes on that responsibility for you. We manage tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections, renewals, and communication, all using established processes designed to reduce risk and prevent costly mistakes. Issues are handled proactively, not reactively, which helps protect the long-term condition and value of your property.
When you factor in the time saved, the reduction in stress, and the avoidance of problems like missed rent, poor tenant selection, or compliance issues, full-service management often pays for itself. It allows your rental to function as a truly passive investment while knowing it is being professionally managed every step of the way.
Yes, absolutely. Power Properties regularly takes over management from other property management companies. If you’re considering a switch, the first step is to review your existing management agreement to understand the notice period or termination requirements. Once that’s confirmed, we help coordinate the transition to make it as smooth as possible.
When we take over management, we work to gather all relevant information, including the existing lease, security deposit, tenant details, and property records. If the property is currently rented under a fixed-term lease, that lease remains in place and is honoured until the end of the term. At renewal time, we handle next steps based on the condition of the tenancy and your goals as the owner.
In many cases, properties come to us with existing tenants already in place. We assess the tenancy, review payment history and property condition, and then make recommendations at renewal based on performance and fit. Our goal is to stabilize the property and ensure it is managed to our standards going forward.
Switching management companies is a common situation, and our team handles the transition so owners don’t have to manage the process themselves.
Yes. Power Properties manages rental properties year-round, including during winter. Cold weather brings its own set of challenges, such as no-heat calls, frozen pipes, snow and ice concerns, and other weather-related maintenance issues, and our team is set up to handle them.
We coordinate seasonal maintenance, respond to winter emergencies through our 24/7 emergency line, and work with contractors who are familiar with the demands of Alberta winters. Managing these issues proactively helps prevent damage and ensures the property remains safe and functional for tenants throughout the year.
The number of properties a manager oversees can vary depending on experience level and the support structure in place. At Power Properties, portfolios are managed intentionally so properties receive consistent attention and proper oversight.
Senior property managers typically manage larger portfolios and are supported by administrative staff and established systems. Newer property managers begin with smaller portfolios and are mentored by senior team members as they gain experience. This structure allows properties to be managed effectively while maintaining consistent service standards across the company.

Leasing, Marketing & Tenant Placement

Power Properties markets rental properties using a structured process designed to attract qualified tenants quickly. It starts with professional visual content. We arrange a virtual tour of the property and take high-quality advertising photos in house, so listings present the home clearly and accurately.
Once the marketing materials are ready, we advertise the property across the most effective rental listing websites for the local market. This ensures your property receives strong exposure in Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, or Medicine Hat, depending on where it’s located.
When prospective tenants inquire, they are directed through an online booking system that includes pre-screening questions. Qualified applicants can then schedule showings directly with the property manager. This process helps filter out unqualified inquiries while keeping the showing process efficient and organized.
The most important factor in how quickly a rental is leased is pricing. A property that is priced correctly for the market will attract more interest and lease faster. Beyond pricing, the type of property, its location, overall condition, and features such as pet-friendliness can all influence demand. Certain layouts, neighbourhoods, and property types tend to perform better than others depending on the market.
Seasonality also plays a role. Rental activity is typically higher in the spring and summer months, while demand can slow during winter. Because of these variables, working with a property manager can be helpful not only when leasing a property, but also when purchasing an investment property, as they can advise on which types of rentals tend to lease more quickly in a given market.
Rental pricing is determined through a rental evaluation completed by a property manager. This evaluation considers several factors, including the type of property, its location, size, condition, and features. We also review comparable rentals in the surrounding area to understand what similar properties are currently renting for.
Market conditions at the time of listing are another important factor. Pricing can vary depending on demand, vacancy levels, and the time of year, with summer typically seeing higher activity than winter. The goal is to set a rental price that is competitive, realistic, and aligned with current market conditions so the property attracts qualified tenants without unnecessary vacancy.
Yes. Understanding rental market trends is a core part of what property managers do. Power Properties monitors rental activity, pricing, demand, and vacancy patterns across the markets we serve, including Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, and Medicine Hat.
We use this information to help owners make informed decisions about pricing, renewals, and investment strategy. Whether you’re preparing to lease a property, considering a rent adjustment, or evaluating a potential investment, we can provide insight into current conditions and how they may affect your rental.
Yes. Power Properties uses a 3D virtual camera to create virtual tours for rental listings. From that tour, we generate high-quality advertising photos in house. This approach allows us to present the property accurately and professionally while keeping leasing costs reasonable for owners.
Virtual tours also help prospective tenants understand the layout and condition of the property before booking a showing, which improves the quality of inquiries and reduces unnecessary showings.
All rental inquiries are routed through an online booking system. Prospective tenants complete a short pre-screening, and those who meet the basic criteria are able to book a showing directly into the property manager’s calendar. This allows showings to be scheduled quickly without back-and-forth communication.
Showings are conducted by a licensed property manager who walks the tenant through the property and answers questions. If the tenant is interested, they are provided with a link to complete an online application. Completed applications are then reviewed and processed by our administrative team.
Yes. Power Properties uses pre-screening questions, including questions about income, pets and smoking habits before showings are booked. This helps filter out unqualified inquiries early and ensures that showings are reserved for tenants who are more likely to meet the property’s requirements. Pre-screening improves efficiency for both the property manager and the owner while helping protect the property.
Tenant approval is handled by the property manager as part of our full-service management. Screening tenants requires experience, consistency, and an objective review of income, credit, and rental history. Our property managers follow established criteria to help ensure the tenant is a good fit for the property and can meet the financial and lease requirements.
By having tenant approval managed professionally, the process stays structured and impartial. This helps protect the property, keeps clear boundaries in place, and allows the tenancy to start on the right footing without unnecessary complications. Owners trust Power Properties to manage this step carefully so they don’t have to be involved in tenant selection decisions.
Rental references are verified directly by speaking with previous landlords. Power Properties contacts landlord references by phone to confirm tenancy history, payment behaviour, and how the property was maintained. If a tenant has limited rental history at one address, we may contact additional past landlords to get a more complete picture.
If anything seems unclear or raises questions, we take extra steps to verify the reference. This can include confirming property ownership to ensure the reference provided is legitimate. The goal is to confirm that the tenant has a consistent history of paying rent on time and taking reasonable care of the property.
Employment and income are verified through a combination of documentation and direct confirmation. Applicants are required to provide proof of income, such as recent pay stubs or employment letters. We may also contact the employer or supervisor directly to confirm employment status, position, and income stability.
This process helps ensure the tenant has reliable income that meets the property’s requirements.
When multiple applications are received, Power Properties reviews all completed applications and evaluates them against the same screening criteria. Our goal is to select the tenant who is the best overall fit for the property, based on factors such as income, credit, rental history, and stability.
Pet acceptance is determined by the owner. If pets are permitted at the property, we advertise it as pet friendly and include pet-related questions in our pre-screening process. If pets are not allowed, applicants with pets are filtered out before showings are booked.
When pets are approved, we also verify pet history through previous landlord references when possible. Power Properties will never approve a pet without the owner’s prior consent.
n Alberta, landlords cannot collect a refundable pet deposit in addition to the security deposit. If pets are approved, owners typically choose either a one-time non-refundable pet fee or a monthly pet rent. The structure and amount are discussed and approved by the owner in advance.
Power Properties handles the setup and documentation of pet-related fees as part of the lease, ensuring everything is clear, compliant, and agreed upon before the tenancy begins.
Rental activity tends to follow a seasonal pattern. The busiest months are typically spring, summer, and early fall, when more people are willing to move and demand is higher. The winter months are generally slower, especially during colder periods, although there is often some increased activity around January 1st.
Because demand fluctuates throughout the year, seasonality can affect how quickly a property leases and how competitive pricing needs to be. Property managers take these patterns into account when recommending rental rates and timing listings to help reduce vacancy.
If a prospective tenant requests a rent adjustment, Power Properties reviews the request and provides a recommendation to the owner based on current market conditions, demand, and the overall strength of the application. No rent changes are approved without the owner’s consent.
Our role is to present the information clearly so you can make an informed decision. Once a direction is confirmed, we handle the communication and update the lease terms accordingly.
Leasing services include everything required to place a tenant in the property. This typically covers professional photos and a virtual tour, advertising and marketing, handling inquiries, scheduling and conducting showings, pre-screening applicants, processing applications, and preparing the lease.
Once a tenant is approved, we coordinate lease signing, confirm tenant insurance and utilities, collect the security deposit, and complete a detailed move-in inspection before handing over the keys. Leasing fees cover the full process from marketing the property through a completed move-in.
Yes. Power Properties prepares the lease agreement as part of our leasing services. We use a comprehensive residential lease that is designed to protect the owner, clearly outline tenant responsibilities, and set expectations for the tenancy. Owners do not need to draft or source their own lease.
Yes. While we use a standardized lease template, each lease is customized to the specific property and tenancy. Property details, rental terms, utilities, rules, and any approved conditions are included so the lease accurately reflects the individual rental and agreement between the owner and tenant.
Once the lease is signed, the security deposit is collected, and utilities and insurance are confirmed, a move-in inspection is scheduled. A property manager meets the tenant at the property and completes a detailed walkthrough. The inspection includes a written condition report along with photos and, when needed, video documentation.
This inspection establishes the condition of the property at the start of the tenancy and helps protect both the owner and the tenant moving forward.
Yes. Power Properties can help owners prepare their property to be more attractive to tenants. This may include coordinating repairs, maintenance, or cleaning, as well as providing practical recommendations on updates that improve durability and appeal, such as flooring or finishes that perform well in rental properties.
Our goal is to help position the property competitively so it attracts qualified tenants and leases efficiently, without unnecessary upgrades or expense.
Lease renewals are handled proactively. Several months before a lease expires, we review the tenancy, assess the condition of the property, and evaluate current market conditions. Based on that review, we provide the owner with a recommendation on whether to renew the lease and what rental rate to consider.
No changes are made without owner approval. Once a decision is confirmed, we manage the renewal discussion and paperwork with the tenant. If a tenant chooses not to renew, we begin preparing and marketing the property in advance to help reduce vacancy and ensure a smooth transition.

Maintenance, Repairs & Inspections

Tenants submit maintenance requests through an online tenant portal, which allows issues to be reported clearly and tracked properly. Once a request is received, our team reviews it and, when possible, troubleshoots the issue with the tenant to determine whether it can be resolved without sending a contractor.
If a repair is required and it falls within the approved spending threshold outlined in the management agreement, we arrange for the repair to be completed. If the issue exceeds that threshold or requires a larger decision, we obtain quotes when appropriate and provide the owner with our recommendation before proceeding. This allows repairs to be handled efficiently while keeping owners informed and in control of larger expenses.
Emergency repairs are situations that pose a risk to the property or tenant safety, such as no heat during winter, significant leaks, or other urgent issues. When an emergency occurs, tenants are instructed to contact our emergency line, which is available outside of regular business hours.
A property manager responds to assess the situation and take immediate steps to prevent further damage or risk. Emergency repairs are handled promptly, and the owner is notified as soon as reasonably possible once the situation is under control.
Yes. Power Properties provides 24/7 emergency maintenance support. Tenants have access to an emergency contact line for urgent issues that occur after hours, on weekends, or during holidays. This ensures serious problems are addressed quickly, even outside of normal business hours.
Repair costs depend on the cause of the issue. In general, owners are responsible for normal maintenance and repairs related to the property itself. However, if a repair is caused by tenant negligence or misuse, the cost may be charged back to the tenant.
When a contractor attends the property, they determine the cause of the issue and report it back to us. Based on that information, Power Properties decides whether the cost is an owner expense or a tenant chargeback. This ensures repairs are handled fairly and that owners are not paying for damage or issues caused by tenant behaviour.
No. Power Properties does not charge a coordination or maintenance management fee for day-to-day repairs and maintenance. Repair coordination is included as part of our all-inclusive management fee, which means there are no additional charges for scheduling contractors, managing repairs, or overseeing maintenance work.
This is a key benefit of full-service management with Power Properties. When a repair is needed, we coordinate the work, communicate with tenants and contractors, and ensure the issue is resolved properly, without adding extra fees on top of the repair cost itself. If a contractor charges a certain amount, that is the amount charged to the owner, with no markup or surprise costs.
No. Power Properties works with a network of vetted, licensed, and insured third-party contractors. These contractors are familiar with rental properties and our expectations, which helps ensure work is completed properly and efficiently.
Using established contractors also allows us to manage repairs consistently and often at more competitive rates due to ongoing volume. This approach helps reduce risk and ensures accountability.
Contractors are selected based on the type of repair required and their experience with similar issues. Power Properties works with a range of trusted trades, including plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general repair specialists.
Before working with a new contractor, we confirm licensing, insurance, and reliability. Contractors are continually evaluated based on the quality of their work, responsiveness, and professionalism. Those who meet our standards continue to be used, while those who do not are removed from our network.
Owners are notified and asked for approval when a repair exceeds the spending threshold outlined in the management agreement or requires a larger decision. For routine repairs that fall within the approved threshold, Power Properties proceeds without delay so issues can be resolved efficiently.
All maintenance activity, invoices, and updates are documented and uploaded to the owner portal, so you always have visibility into what work was completed and when.
Preventing larger issues starts with regular inspections and proactive maintenance. Power Properties completes annual preventative maintenance inspections and reviews the condition of the property to identify early signs of wear or potential concerns.
When issues are identified, we provide recommendations to the owner and outline which items should be addressed immediately and which can be planned for later. Addressing smaller issues early helps reduce the risk of more expensive repairs down the road and supports the long-term condition of the property.
Power Properties completes two inspections during the first year of a tenancy and annual inspections after that. The first inspection is typically completed within the first few months of move-in, and the second inspection is completed two to three months before the lease ends. After the first year, inspections continue on an annual basis.
This schedule allows us to monitor the property early in the tenancy and then transition into ongoing preventative maintenance inspections.
During a routine inspection, a property manager walks through the property using a standardized checklist that covers each room and major components of the home. The inspection focuses on cleanliness, maintenance concerns, lease compliance, and overall condition.
Photos are taken when needed to document issues or areas of concern. The inspection helps ensure the property is being cared for and allows us to identify maintenance needs before they become larger problems.
Yes. Inspection reports and any supporting photos are uploaded to your owner portal. If maintenance issues are identified, we include recommendations and note the urgency of each item so you can understand what may need attention.
If damage is determined to be caused by the tenant, the cost of the repair may be charged back to the tenant. This determination is based on information from the inspection, contractor feedback, and the terms of the lease.
Power Properties manages the process and applies chargebacks appropriately so owners are not responsible for damage resulting from tenant negligence.
Item description
No-heat calls are treated as emergencies, especially during colder months. Tenants are instructed to contact our emergency line after hours if heat is lost. A property manager responds to troubleshoot the issue and, if necessary, dispatches an HVAC contractor to restore heat as quickly as possible.
Our priority is protecting the property and ensuring the unit remains safe and habitable.
When a tenant provides notice to vacate, a move-out inspection is scheduled. A property manager meets the tenant at the property and completes a detailed walkthrough using a condition report that compares the original move-in condition to the current state of the unit.
If work is required, an interim security deposit statement is typically issued within the first 10 days. Repairs and cleaning are then completed as needed, and a final security deposit statement is provided within the required timeframe once all costs are finalized.
This process ensures deductions are documented, compliant, and handled properly.

Fees, Payments & Insurance

Power Properties uses a simple, transparent fee structure with only three fees. There are no hidden charges, add-ons, or surprise costs. Our pricing applies to properties in Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, and Medicine Hat.
The three fees are:
• A leasing fee of $775
• An all-inclusive management fee of 12%
• A lease renewal fee of $250
This structure is intentionally straightforward so owners always know what they’re paying for and when. Many property management companies charge additional fees for inspections, maintenance coordination, or administrative tasks. Power Properties does not.
The 12% management fee is all-inclusive and covers the ongoing, day-to-day management of your rental property. This includes rent collection, tenant communication, financial reporting, and full oversight of the tenancy from move-in to move-out.
It also includes routine inspections, preventative maintenance coordination, handling maintenance requests, managing contractors, enforcing lease terms, and ensuring compliance with Alberta tenancy laws. There are no extra charges for inspections, maintenance coordination, or administrative work. Everything needed to manage your property properly is included in the management fee.
No. Power Properties does not charge any upfront fees before your property is successfully rented. We are confident in our ability to market and lease properties to qualified tenants, which is why there are no costs until a tenant is placed.
Yes. Leasing fees are separate from the ongoing management fee and only apply when a property needs to be leased. This typically occurs when a property is vacant or a tenant provides notice and a new tenant needs to be secured.
The leasing fee covers professional marketing, advertising, handling inquiries, conducting showings, pre-screening applicants, processing applications, preparing the lease, coordinating move-in, collecting the security deposit, and completing the move-in inspection.
Rent is collected from tenants on the first business day of each month. Once rent is processed and any applicable expenses are accounted for, owner payments are deposited directly into your bank account.
Owner payouts are typically issued between the 20th and 25th of each month, along with detailed financial statements available through the owner portal.
Most tenants are set up on automatic rent withdrawal, which means rent is collected automatically on the first business day of the month. Because of this, late rent is relatively uncommon.
If rent is not received, the tenant is contacted promptly and reminded through multiple channels. There is a short grace period, during which daily reminders are sent. After that period, late fees are applied in accordance with the lease. The property manager also follows up directly by phone and email to understand the situation and document communication.
If rent remains unpaid and contact attempts are unsuccessful, the next steps are taken in accordance with Alberta tenancy laws.
If a tenant fails to pay rent and does not resolve the issue after reminders and follow-up, Power Properties issues a 14-day eviction notice in accordance with Alberta’s Residential Tenancies Act. This notice gives the tenant 14 days to pay the outstanding rent and any applicable late fees, or to vacate the property.
If the tenant does not comply within that period, we proceed with the formal eviction process through the Alberta court system. If required, we coordinate with a licensed bailiff to regain possession of the property. Throughout the process, we manage the legal steps and keep the owner informed.
No. Routine inspections are included as part of the all-inclusive management fee. There are no additional charges for scheduled inspections.
No. Day to day maintenance coordination is included in the all-inclusive management fee.
Yes. A security deposit equivalent to 1 month of rent will be collected before the tenant’s move in. Security deposits are held in a trust account during a tenant’s tenancy and then returned after their move out.
When a tenant moves out, a property manager completes a move-out inspection and compares the condition of the property to the original move-in inspection report. Any cleaning, damage, or repairs beyond normal wear and tear are documented.
Within 10 days of the tenant moving out, we issue an interim security deposit statement. This statement outlines any estimated deductions and returns the remaining portion of the deposit that is not being held back. Once all work is completed and final invoices are received, we issue a final security deposit statement within 30 days, along with any remaining balance owed to the tenant.
Yes. If you are renting out your property, you need insurance that is specifically designed for rental properties. Standard homeowner insurance is not sufficient once a tenant occupies the home. Proper landlord insurance helps protect the property, your rental income, and your liability as an owner.
At a minimum, owners should have rental property insurance that covers the physical building, liability, and loss of rental income. Many owners also choose additional protection such as umbrella liability, tenant vandalism coverage, sewer back-up, and vacancy coverage.
Power Properties clients have the option to join Power Properties’ Master Insurance Policy, a policy designed specifically with our owner’s best interests in mind. Please ask your Property Manager for a quote.
Yes. Power Properties requires tenants to carry tenant insurance and provide proof of coverage before move-in and again at each lease renewal.
Tenants may purchase tenant insurance through our preferred insurance provider or use any insurance company of their choice, as long as valid proof of coverage is provided.
Yes. Owners receive monthly and year-end financial statements. All statements are available through your owner portal for easy access.
In most cases, yes. Property management fees are generally considered a deductible expense for rental properties. According to the Canada Revenue Agency, fees paid to manage a rental property or collect rent can typically be deducted as a rental expense.
Yes. Rent is collected on the first business day of each month, then management fees and any other expenses are deducted. The remaining balance is deposited directly into your bank account, typically between the 20th and 25th of each month.
Yes. Owners with multiple properties may qualify for reduced management fees. As a general guideline, owners with five or more properties can request discounted pricing, and owners with ten or more properties can request custom pricing.
If a property becomes vacant, a minimum management fee applies during the vacancy period. Power Properties works to minimize vacancy by preparing and advertising the property as early as possible.
During vacancy, we can also coordinate services such as lawn care, snow removal, and vacant property inspections if needed. These services help protect the property and maintain insurance compliance until a new tenant is secured.

Owner Onboarding, Communication & Reporting

Getting started is simple. You can either fill out the form on our website or contact us directly by phone (403) 509-0040. One of our property managers will connect with you to learn more about your property and answer any initial questions.
From there, we schedule an in-person meeting at the property. During that visit, we complete a rental evaluation, review our services and fees, and walk you through the management agreement. If you decide to move forward, paperwork can be signed right away and we begin preparing the property for marketing.
Onboarding is quick. If schedules align, owners can be fully signed up within one business day. Once paperwork is complete, we move immediately into the next steps, such as photography, marketing, or tenant transition.
Before taking over management, we complete an on-site walkthrough of the property as part of the rental evaluation process. This allows us to assess the condition, note any concerns, and provide accurate recommendations.
The formal inspection process begins once a tenant moves in, starting with a detailed move-in inspection that documents the condition of the property.
If you are switching from another management company, the first step is reviewing your existing management agreement to understand notice periods or termination requirements. Once that timing is confirmed, we coordinate a start date for management.
We work with you and, when necessary, the previous management company to transfer key documents such as the lease, security deposit, move-in inspection report, tenant records and keys. Our goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Yes. Once management officially transfers, we notify tenants by email and phone. We provide updated contact information, set them up with our tenant portal, and arrange rent payment through our system so there is no disruption.
Owners can communicate with their property manager through the owner portal, by email, or by phone. Your property manager’s contact details will always be available on our website, along with their assistant’s information.
Yes. Power Properties provides an online owner portal where you can access financial statements, inspection reports, maintenance updates, invoices, and important documents. Monthly and year-end statements are also available through the portal. Portal: https://app.propertyware.com/pw/index.html#/login/owner/powerproperties
During the leasing phase, owners receive regular updates on inquiries, showings, and market feedback. If adjustments are recommended, your property manager will discuss them with you.
Once the property is rented, updates occur at key points, including inspections, maintenance approvals, lease renewals, and any significant tenancy matters. You are always contacted before lease renewals and major decisions.
Maintenance activity is documented in the owner portal. For repairs under the approved spending threshold, work is completed promptly. If a repair exceeds the threshold, you are contacted in advance with details and recommendations, including quotes when appropriate.
Many of our owners live outside the city or outside the country. Communication can be handled by email, phone, or video call, and all documents, reports, and financials are accessible through the owner portal. Physical presence is not required for effective management.
Owners can request a rent review at any time. However, rent changes cannot occur during a fixed-term lease. Rent adjustments are typically addressed at the renewal, at which point we provide market-based recommendations and confirm your preferred pricing before proceeding.
Yes. You will be assigned a dedicated property manager who oversees your portfolio. As portfolios grow, property managers may have administrative support, but all decisions and oversight flow through your assigned manager.

Multi-Family & Multi-Unit Property Management

A multifamily property is a residential building that contains more than one rental unit under the same ownership. This can include duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and larger apartment-style buildings. Multifamily properties may have shared systems, common areas, or multiple leases operating at the same time.
Yes. Power Properties manages a wide range of small and mid-sized multifamily buildings, including fourplexes, sixplexes, eightplexes, and larger multi-unit properties.
Power Properties has extensive experience managing multifamily properties of all sizes. Our portfolio includes duplexes, small multi-unit buildings, and larger apartment-style properties ranging from a handful of units to buildings with dozens of units.
This experience allows us to manage the operational complexity that comes with multiple leases, shared systems, and higher tenant volume while maintaining consistent standards across the property.
Managing multifamily properties involves overseeing multiple tenancies rather than a single lease. This includes coordinating lease renewals at different times, managing shared utilities or services, and maintaining common areas such as hallways, parking areas, landscaping, and snow removal.
Multifamily management also requires a more structured approach to inspections, maintenance planning, and communication to ensure the entire building is operating smoothly and consistently.
Item description
Power Properties coordinates maintenance for all common areas based on the needs of the building. This can include cleaning, landscaping, snow removal, lighting, and general upkeep. Services are scheduled regularly or as needed to keep shared spaces safe, functional, and well-maintained.
Yes. Owners receive detailed financial reporting that includes a rent roll outlining each unit, rental amounts, and payment status. Rent roll information is included in monthly financial statements and is available through the owner portal.
Inspections are coordinated in a way that minimizes disruption while still maintaining oversight of the property. When possible, inspections are scheduled to cover multiple units during the same time period. The approach depends on the size of the building, tenancy schedules, and operational needs.
Yes. Owners with multiple units or multiple properties may qualify for reduced management fees. As a general guideline, owners with five or more units can request discounted pricing, and owners with ten or more units can request custom pricing.
Tenant issues are handled professionally and consistently in accordance with lease terms and Alberta tenancy laws. We communicate directly with tenants, issue notices when required, and take appropriate action if lease violations or ongoing disruptions occur.
Our goal is to resolve issues efficiently while maintaining a respectful and stable environment for all tenants in the building.
Yes. Power Properties manages multifamily properties across Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, and Medicine Hat. We work with a wide range of multi-unit residential properties in all of these markets.
Yes. Power Properties has experience helping owners improve and reposition older multifamily properties. This can include coordinating renovations as units become vacant, recommending practical upgrades, and preparing units to re-enter the market at updated rental rates.
Our focus is on improvements that make sense for rental properties and help increase long-term value and income.

Real Estate Investing & Market Insights

Calgary and Edmonton continue to be attractive markets for real estate investors due to Alberta’s strong economy, population growth, and relative affordability compared to other major Canadian cities. Rental demand remains solid, particularly for well-located, well-priced properties.
That said, every investment depends on timing, location, and financial structure. Many of Power Properties’ team members are dual licensed as property managers and realtors, which allows us to provide current market insight and help investors make informed decisions based on today’s conditions.
Properties that tend to perform well often balance purchase price, rental demand, and operating costs. In many cases, this includes well-located single-family homes, townhomes, and small multifamily properties such as duplexes or fourplexes.
Properties with functional layouts, reasonable maintenance costs, and strong tenant demand often provide more consistent returns than highly customized or luxury properties. The best option depends on the investor’s goals, budget, and risk tolerance.
Higher interest rates can reduce home buying activity, which often increases demand for rental housing as more people choose or need to rent. Lower interest rates can encourage home ownership, which may ease rental demand slightly in some segments.
Interest rates also affect investor financing costs, which is why it’s important to evaluate cash flow, not just purchase price, when analyzing an investment property.
Yes. Power Properties can assist with evaluating potential investment properties, including estimating rental income, reviewing operating expenses, and projecting cash flow. Because many of our team members are dual licensed, we can support both the purchase and the long-term management strategy.
As an added benefit, if you purchase an investment property through Power Properties, your first leasing fee is waived.
Yes. Power Properties has team members who are licensed as both realtors and property managers. This allows us to support investors through the buying process with a clear understanding of rental performance, tenant demand, and long-term management considerations.
Before purchasing your first rental, it’s important to understand realistic rental income, operating expenses, and long-term maintenance requirements. Location, tenant demand, and property condition all play a major role in performance.
Working with professionals who understand both sales and property management can help you avoid common mistakes and choose a property that aligns with your financial goals.
Cash flow is assessed by comparing expected rental income against all operating costs. This includes mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, management fees, and vacancy allowance.
Power Properties helps investors estimate realistic rental rates and ongoing costs so decisions are based on practical numbers rather than assumptions.
Profitability can often be improved through proper pricing, proactive maintenance, tenant quality, and strategic upgrades that make sense for rentals. Reducing vacancy, controlling operating costs, and maintaining the property well over time all contribute to stronger returns.
Rental markets are influenced by population growth, migration patterns, employment trends, interest rates, and housing affordability. In Alberta, interprovincial migration and economic cycles can have a significant impact on rental demand.
Understanding these broader trends helps investors plan beyond short-term fluctuations.
Both condos and houses can work as investment properties, but they perform differently. Condos often have lower purchase prices but include condo fees that impact cash flow. Houses typically offer more control and flexibility but may have higher maintenance costs.
The right choice depends on budget, risk tolerance, and long-term strategy.
Condo fees reduce net cash flow and should always be factored into investment analysis. While they can cover major building expenses, they also limit control and can increase over time.
Understanding what the condo fees include is critical when evaluating a condo as a rental investment.
Yes. Power Properties manages rental properties owned personally or through corporations.
While both markets offer strong rental opportunities, they differ in pricing, tenant profiles, and rental trends. Calgary often experiences more volatility tied to economic cycles, while Edmonton tends to be more stable and price-driven, but often demands lower rents than Calgary.
Local insight matters, which is why working with professionals familiar with each market is important.
Yes. Many of our clients work with Power Properties long-term as they grow their portfolios. Our dual-licensed team can assist with identifying opportunities, managing existing properties, and supporting future acquisitions.
When investors purchase additional properties through Power Properties, we waive the first leasing fee for the new rental.
Rent forecasts and market insights are provided through rental evaluations, renewal discussions, and ongoing conversations with your property manager. Recommendations are based on current market conditions, property performance, and tenant demand.

Non-Resident & Out-of-Province Owners

Yes. Power Properties manages rental properties for owners who live outside the city, outside Alberta, and across Canada. Many of our clients do not live near their rental properties and rely on us for full-service, hands-off management.
Yes. Power Properties manages rental properties for international and overseas owners. Distance is not an issue. We handle all aspects of leasing, tenant communication, maintenance, inspections, and compliance on your behalf.
For owners who require it, non-resident tax services are available as an optional add-on.
Yes. We regularly work with non-resident Canadians who own rental properties in Alberta. In addition to full-service property management, we can assist with non-resident tax requirements if needed.
When a rental property owner is considered a non-resident of Canada, rental income is subject to non-resident tax requirements. In most cases, a percentage of gross rental income must be remitted to the Canada Revenue Agency unless an alternative arrangement is approved.
Power Properties offers non-resident tax services as an optional add-on and can help coordinate the required filings and remittances so owners remain compliant while their property is professionally managed.
Communication is handled through email, phone calls, video calls, and the owner portal. We work with owners to communicate in a way that fits their time zone and preferences, ensuring clear and consistent updates regardless of location.
Understanding local tenancy laws is one of the main reasons non-resident owners hire a property manager. Power Properties handles all tenant-related matters in accordance with Alberta tenancy legislation and provides guidance and recommendations to owners as needed.
Owners do not need to be familiar with the day-to-day legal requirements. We manage compliance on their behalf.
Item description
Power Properties has clear emergency procedures in place. If an emergency repair falls within the approved spending threshold, we act immediately to prevent damage and protect the property.
If a repair exceeds the threshold, we attempt to contact the owner by phone and email. If the situation is time-sensitive and immediate action is required, we proceed in accordance with the management agreement and keep the owner informed as soon as possible.
Yes. Power Properties offers non-resident tax services as an optional add-on. We work with owners to prepare required forms, meet deadlines, and ensure rental income is handled properly from a compliance standpoint.
No. Tenants communicate directly with Power Properties. Owners and tenants are not in direct contact, and your location is not shared. Your privacy is maintained at all times.
Once a tenant is in place, we conduct a move-in inspection, two inspections in the first year of tenancy, and annual inspections thereafter to ensure the property is being properly cared for.
If a property is vacant, we can coordinate vacant property inspections to meet insurance guidelines. These processes help protect the property and provide peace of mind for owners who are away.

Legal, Compliance & Tenant Issues

The majority of tenant’s are set up on auto-withdrawal. If rent is not received or comes back as NSF, the property manager contacts the tenant by phone and email to understand the situation and request payment. If rent remains unpaid, a 14-day eviction notice is served in accordance with Alberta tenancy laws. This notice gives the tenant 14 days to pay the outstanding rent or vacate the property.
Evictions are rare due to thorough tenant screening, but when necessary they are handled professionally and in compliance with Alberta legislation. If a tenant does not comply with a 14-day eviction notice, we proceed through the appropriate legal process to obtain a court order. If required, we coordinate with a licensed bailiff to regain possession of the property.
All tenants are on fixed-term leases. If a tenant needs to end their lease early, they are presented with available options. This may include paying a lease termination fee or arranging a lease assignment or replacement tenant, subject to approval.
If a replacement tenant is required, the property is marketed and screened using the same process as any new tenancy to protect the owner’s interests.
All leases are prepared and administered by licensed property managers who are familiar with Alberta’s Residential Tenancies Act. Lease templates are regularly reviewed and updated to align with current legislation, and ongoing training ensures compliance is maintained.
Yes. Power Properties can represent owners at the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service (RTDRS) as part of our management services when required.
Damage beyond normal wear and tear is addressed through the move-out inspection process. The condition of the property at move-out is compared to the original move-in inspection, and any damage is documented.
Repairs are arranged as needed, and applicable costs are reflected in the security deposit statement in accordance with Alberta legislation.
Tenant damage is documented through inspection reports, photos, and written notes. This documentation is gathered during routine inspections and the final move-out inspection and is used to support any necessary repairs or deductions.
Lease violations are handled on a case-by-case basis. Depending on the issue, this may involve written warnings, notices, or further action as permitted under the lease and Alberta tenancy laws. All steps are documented and managed professionally.
No. In Alberta, landlords and property managers must provide proper notice before entering a rental property. Except in emergencies, at least 24 hours’ written notice is required, and entry must be for a valid reason permitted under tenancy legislation.
Security deposit deductions are based on documented inspections, invoices, and Alberta tenancy rules. If a tenant disputes a deduction, the property manager reviews the documentation and works to resolve the issue professionally. If needed, the matter may proceed through RTDRS.

Realtor Referral Program

Power Properties’ Realtor Referral Program is designed to support your clients while allowing you to maintain the relationship long term. When you refer a client to us, one of our property managers contacts them to set up a meeting, either in person or by phone. We complete a rental evaluation, explain the property management process, and answer any questions they may have about renting their property.
If the client decides to move forward with property management, we handle the full-service management from that point on and pay you a referral fee. If the client later decides to sell their property, we refer them back to you so you can handle the sale. The goal is to provide value to your client while ensuring you retain the relationship.
There are a few easy ways to submit a referral. You can complete the referral form on our website, email the client’s information to marketing@powerproperties.net, or share the referral directly with one of our property managers if you already have an established relationship with someone on our team.
Once we receive the referral, we take it from there and keep the process simple for both you and your client.
Yes. Your client remains your client. Power Properties handles the property management side only, and if the owner decides to sell their property in the future, they are referred back to you to list and sell the home. That is a core part of how our referral program is structured.
Realtors can refer a wide range of residential rental properties to Power Properties. This includes single-family homes, duplexes, multi-unit residential properties, individual condominium units, and townhouses.

Yes. Power Properties regularly works with clients who are purchasing investment properties and plan to rent them out.
