Total Ownership Property Management

Comprehensive Property Management with Total Ownership

At Total Ownership, we deliver full-service management for single-family homes, designed for individual landlords who value urgency and personalized care. We handle every property with the highest focus, responding swiftly to ensure your investment thrives.

Marketing of Your Property:

We implement a robust marketing strategy to attract top-tier tenants quickly, minimizing vacancies for your single-family home. Our approach leverages cutting-edge tools and local expertise, including:

• MLS listings with professional photos on leading rental platforms
• Eye-catching yard signs to draw neighborhood interest
• Targeted internet and social media advertising
• Tenant referral incentives to expand our reach
• Listings in community publications and rental directories

With our proactive marketing, your property gains maximum exposure to secure reliable tenants fast.

Qualifying the Tenant:

Placing the right tenant is critical to your success. We conduct a meticulous screening process to ensure only qualified individuals occupy your home, including:

• Credit checks to assess financial responsibility
• Criminal background searches for safety
• Eviction history reviews to avoid risks
• Employment and income verification for stability
• Previous landlord references for rental behavior
• Address and identity verification for accuracy

Our thorough vetting ensures tenants who respect your property and pay on time, giving you peace of mind.

Lease and Lease Execution:

Once a tenant is approved, we secure the property with a reservation fee, credited toward their first month’s rent. A security deposit is collected at lease signing and held in a non-interest-bearing escrow account. Our attorney-reviewed annual leases comply with current landlord-tenant laws, clearly outlining tenant responsibilities for enforceability. We handle all lease preparation and execution, ensuring a seamless process.

Collection & Distribution of Rents:

Timely rent collection is a cornerstone of our service. Tenants pay through our secure online portal, with automated reminders to prevent delays. We distribute rents to you by the 15th of each month, accompanied by detailed financial statements for transparency. Our urgency ensures your cash flow remains consistent.

Maintenance & Inspections:

We’re available 24/7 for emergencies, addressing issues like plumbing or electrical failures with speed and efficiency. Non-emergency requests are submitted in writing to prioritize cost-effective solutions. We use licensed, insured contractors, leveraging our network to secure competitive rates passed directly to you. Regular property inspections ensure tenant compliance and maintain your home’s condition, with detailed reports provided.

Management Fees:

As a full-service company, we keep fees competitive, aligning our success with yours. We handle leasing, renewals, and daily operations, charging only when your property is generating income. When your home is vacant, we work tirelessly to fill it, because your profitability is our priority.

Total Ownership was founded in 2025 in response to a slowing "for-sale" market in Austin. We are offering tailored incentives to its early customers, including no-committment contracts and market leading management fees. If you give us a chance to demonstrate our attention to detail, you will not regret it.
