What does single-family home and condo management include?
Single-family home and condo management at Uplift covers the work of owning a rental after you hand over the keys: pricing and marketing the home, screening and placing a tenant, collecting rent, coordinating repairs, inspecting the property, and sending monthly and year-end statements. A dedicated portfolio manager is your point of contact, and owner payouts arrive by direct deposit by the 10th of each month.
- Leasing: professional photos, pricing based on local rental comparables, advertising on 50+ rental sites, showing access 7 days a week, online applications, and lease preparation and signing.
- Rent and accounting: online rent collection, bill payment from your property’s reserve, and online monthly and annual financial statements.
- Maintenance: troubleshooting with tenants, licensed and insured vendors, and 24/7 emergency response.
- Inspections: move-in and move-out inspections with photos, plus an annual inspection.
How much does it cost to manage a single-family home or condo?
Managing a single-family home or condo with Uplift costs 8% of collected rent each month, with a $175 minimum per unit. A $595 tenant placement fee applies when a new tenant signs, and a $195 tenant retention fee applies each year at renewal. Maintenance coordination, project management, and annual accounting are included, and vendor invoices are not marked up. Every fee is listed on our Services & Pricing page.
How do you manage a condo or townhome with an HOA?
For condos and townhomes, Uplift handles communication with the HOA for you. We coordinate with the association on common-area issues and rule questions, and we serve tenants the required notices when an HOA violation occurs. HOA dues remain the owner’s cost and can be paid from your property’s reserve along with other recurring bills.
How do you choose a tenant for my home?
Every applicant is screened against the same written criteria: a credit score of 650 or higher, income of at least 2.5 times the rent, a review of rental history and public records, government-issued ID, and renter’s insurance. Applicants who fall short may be approved with a larger deposit, usually with your approval. Read more about our tenant screening and placement.

Repairs under your maintenance limit are completed and shown on your monthly statement. Anything over the limit needs your approval first, except emergencies causing active damage, which are handled immediately.
The agreement is written for one year and then continues month-to-month. Cancelling within the first year requires paying the remainder of that year’s management fees; after that you can cancel at any time without a fee.
