Many real estate investors believe that managing their own properties will save money. But as Jason LeDell of RHOME points out in the video below, this is one of the biggest misconceptions in the industry.
The Real Cost of Going It Alone
“Our biggest competitor is the self-managed investor… They think we don’t do much, but what we offer can actually increase their ROI far beyond what they can do on their own.” — Jason LeDell
On the surface, handling your own rental property might seem simple: take a few maintenance calls, collect rent, and move on. But the reality is far more demanding. Investors quickly find themselves burned out by middle-of-the-night emergencies, unpaid rent, and time-consuming tenant issues.
Worse, without professional support, many miss out on opportunities to maximize their returns.
What Property Managers Really Do
At RHOME, we don’t just take tasks off your plate—we actively help protect and grow your investment. Here’s what that looks like:
Market insight & rent optimization: We track local trends to ensure your rental pricing is competitive and profitable.
Reliable maintenance coordination: Say goodbye to 2 a.m. phone calls—we handle it all, fast and professionally.
Delinquency and eviction management: When rent doesn’t come in, we know the proper steps to take, without delay or emotion.
Asset protection: We help reduce liability and ensure compliance with local and state regulations.
Increased tenant satisfaction & retention: Happy tenants lead to fewer vacancies and more consistent income.
When Do DIY Investors Reach Out?
Most self-managing landlords call us when something breaks—literally or figuratively. Maybe it’s a string of tenant issues, or a maintenance backlog, or they’re simply overwhelmed by how much time they’re spending on a single property.
That’s when the conversation shifts.
That’s when they say, “We need help. We need RHOME.”
Don’t Wait for the Breaking Point
You don’t need to wait for an emergency to start getting more out of your rental. If you’re wondering whether professional management is worth it—let’s talk. We’ll show you what real value looks like.
