Call Us For More Information

I am looking for a property management company and want to know more about America's Rental Managers.

America's Rental Managers is a full service residential property management company serving the Alabama market currently while we expand into other regions. Established in 2006, we serve a growing need for a professional property management company that specializes in residential single family homes, townhomes, and condominiums. We accept homes on a case-by-case basis, and we have homes ranging in rent from $800 to over $3500 per month. Call our Acquisitions Agent today for more information (205-824-5008)!

Why should I choose America's Rental Managers over another property management company?

There are several reasons for choosing America's Rental Managers. We have no up-front cost to initiate service. If we don’t lease your home, then you don’t pay. Due to our extensive marketing and advertising, we lease homes quickly. We have Licensed Realtors that show our homes. We have no separate advertising fee. We do not currently charge an upcharge for maintenance coordination. We grew from 5 properties under management in August 2006 to over 1,400 homes under management in March 2021. The majority of our business comes from referrals or repeat business.

What are the advantages to renting out my home?

Many people are considering renting their home as opposed to selling it based on an expected financial benefit. We do our best to get the financial benefit that you desire by striving to maximize and sustain the rental amount and managing your investment so that it continues to make money for you for years to come. Renting out your house turns it into an investment property. This entitles you to deduct operating expenses, maintenance and repairs, and to depreciate the property. Your tax accountant can help you with changing tax laws and all tax related issues.

Why should I hire a professional management company when I might be able to manage things myself?

Being an absentee landlord is difficult unless you have someone to administer the property. Do you have the time to conduct market comparables to price your home in the current market so that it rents quickly? Can you take the time to show your property to potential renters? Do you have the means to screen them by verifying rental history, income verification, a credit check and a criminal background check? Will you be able to manage the property from afar? What happens if a pipe breaks and you’re out of state? America's Rental Managers will look after everything related to the property – from advertising your property and screening your tenants to executing the lease agreement, collecting rent, monthly account reconciliation, coordinating maintenance needed on the property, and conducting inspections. Based on the number of clients that we have who began self-managing, and then hired us after a bad experience, it is worth the management fee to hire America's Rental Managers.

Will I have one contact within America's Rental Managers?

Our Acquisitions Agent will be your main point of contact on the front end and will direct you to the appropriate department or individual for specific questions outside of their expertise. America's Rental Managers has specific departments staffed with professionals to assist you when you have questions. We have a maintenance team, leasing team, quality assurance team, and an accounting team. You will be able to speak to someone who specializes in your question when you need assistance. This is a real benefit to property owners! You will not have to speak to the leasing team about your finances, nor will you have to speak to accounting about your maintenance.

What type properties do you manage?

We specialize in residential single family homes, townhomes, and condominiums. But we will accept homes on a case-by-case basis. So call our Acquisitions Agent if your property type is not included in this list. We have a great deal of experience marketing homes priced in rent ranging from $800-$3500. Minimum monthly rent for new properties is ~$800.

Does my home have to be empty to begin the process?

We will list a home while occupied; however, we do require a move out inspection prior to the new tenant’s move in. We will list an owner-occupied home, a tenant-occupied home with a lease, or a vacant home.

How much money should I have set aside for expenses?

We recommend three to six months of expenses depending on your risk tolerance.

Do you have location restrictions?

While our primary focus is the Alabama market, we are expanding into new regions. Call our Acquisitions Agent today to see if your home falls within our management range!

How do I get started?

To get started, the Acquisitions Agent will visit your home to assess its rent readiness and determine market rental rate. Then, America's Rental Managers will need the signed Management Agreement, Listing Checklist (a simple checklist of amenities and special instructions specific to your property), a form W9, and a completed ACH form with a voided check. All utilities will need to remain on through the first day of the lease, and the home needs to be professionally cleaned (including the carpets). The paint needs to be in good condition, and the yard needs to be maintained. The better a home looks, the better it shows!

Who chooses the rental price for my home?

A member of our Leasing Department will assist you in choosing the appropriate rental rate based on the specifics of your property and comparable homes in the market.
