Resident Benefits Package

We’re pleased to announce our new Resident Benefits Package. We’re launching this slate of amenities for our residents in an effort to ensure we can serve them as a true full-service property management firm today and into the future.
 
This new offering will include:

● HVAC filter delivery every 90 days, which will help your resident save up to 15% on monthly heating & cooling bills, improve their indoor air quality, and reduce the likelihood of HVAC-related maintenance issues by up to 40%. Each filter shipment will arrive at your tenants doorstop and will be dated, and they are still required to provide filters in the interim to change them as required by the system. This will help ensure that filters are being changed upon arrival.
● Move-in utility concierge services to help residents get the best value on utilities and conveniently activate their cable, internet, alarm services, and general utility services.
● A best-in-class resident rewards platform to help residents earn rewards on everyday expenses, further allowing for a premier rental experience.
● Credit building to further encourage on-time payments by residents.
● $1M Iden...

Inflation in Rental Real Estate

In our last update, we talked about inflation in real estate and its effects on your rental home. We wanted to expand on this topic and let you know about some of the forces at play and where we feel the effects of inflation in our business.

Vendor Labor - Quality vendors are becoming harder and harder to find, and the ones who are still around are charging more for their services due to labor/material shortages & inflation. Our maintenance team faces a continued challenge with getting great labor in your home without breaking the bank. 

Appliance Costs & Parts - Appliances and specialized items for your rental property are becoming harder to come by with growing shipping times. Alongside the appliances, getting parts for said appliances, etc can be difficult to do right now with logistics issues across the board with shipping and trucking industries.  

Insurance, Taxes & Dues - At Stone Oak Property Management, we anticipate an increase in the costs of these...

Maybe you own a rental property close to one of the many campuses here in Austin, Texas or you’re considering purchasing a property that could be considered student housing. You might be wondering to yourself:

Are students good tenants?

As a landlord, you always want the best tenant possible. Someone who pays rent on time will take care of your home like it’s their own and many more factors. In this post, we’ll go over the pros and cons of leasing your rental property to students!

Pros of Renting to Students

Increased Rent - Owning campus properties that consistently become occupied by tenants brings one great benefit - higher rent! The demand for your campus rental property lives outside of a typical rental home in Austin, Texas, and with that demand comes more earnings every month for you!

According to Yardi’s data, across the nation, campus properties are listed higher than the average home in the same area 67% of the time. Owning a rental property close to campus here in Austin, Texas can be a great way to increase your returns as a landlord!
