A Guide to Property Insights
Streamlining Your Operations to Make Your Portfolio More Profitable
By Kori Covrigaru
Does managing your real estate investment portfolio leave you feeling stressed?
Single-family rental (SFR) investors have a host of logistical and operational tasks that can put pressure on their schedules and limit profitability. Vendor management issues, material ordering mistakes, long-distance SFR management headaches — problems always seem to arise when investors least expect them.
Property Insights provides full-service support for SFR investors, from pre-purchase to post-rental of properties. We support your short or long-distance investment no matter where you are in the U.S., removing those pain points from your life.
- Our nationwide network of PlanOtechs uses high-tech Ricoh Theta Z1 cameras to create virtual-reality-like tours of properties, including accurate dimensions (so accurate, you can take materials measurements from the 3D tour!), dollhouse views, and floor plans.
- We provide access to an updated 3D tour during any renovations or repairs, so you can check on contractors and the status of a project.
- Our 3D tour can serve double-duty as an add-on to your rental listing as well, making it easy for potential renters to virtually tour the home.
- We can also provide a post-rental tour of a property, so you can inspect your investment’s condition from the comfort of your own home or office.
