Property Management Services For Investors

We provide full property management services. We find the tenants, screen the tenants, enforce the lease, collect rent, do inspections, coordinate maintenance issues, handle move outs and move ins, take care of evictions – if needed. In short we take care of all the details and work so you don’t have to. You will have your own online portal to access current and past monthly statements, invoices, tax documents, and an annual summary.

Don’t be fooled by low advertised management rates that come with a long list of additional fees. At Kasteel, we believe in straightforward, competitive pricing with more services included. See our Owners page for a full breakdown of our pricing, services, and how we compare.

The property owner is responsible for the property’s bills and payments.

In addition to a professional For Rent sign at the property and being listed on our website, it will be posted to dozens of online classified websites and refreshed weekly. Once we have the ad written and the pictures uploaded, our top of the line software is capable of sending the ads out to all the big websites with the simple click of a button. Anyone looking will easily be able to find your property for rent.

Usually 2-3 weeks, sometimes less. Vacancies are a major focus for us because we understand a vacancy can be a property owners biggest expense. Because we jump right on it, we often succeed at getting new tenants lined up to move in before the old tenants have even moved out.

When deciding what to charge for rent we will gladly help by giving professional advice, but ultimately the property owner is the boss. Once it’s listed we will monitor how it’s going and give you feed back and suggestions if a change is needed. Reviewing other ads for similar homes nearby is a great way to get an idea of what price range you can expect.

If the lawn is clearly divided for each unit, then it is typically the tenants responsibility to mow, weed and fertilize as needed. There is no required care regiment that they need to do though. It just comes down to, if the lawn looks good, then they are doing a good job. If the yard is pretty complicated, with a lot of shrubbery, flower beds, gardens, and such, then we should consider having a yard care service take care of it and have it included with the rent.

Typically, for a rental, the simpler the yard is, the better.

If the yard is more of a community area and not easily divided for each unit, like a 4-plex might have, then the owner is responsible for the cost of maintaining it.

If it’s a single family residence or unit that has its own individual meters and billing, then it can be the tenants responsibility. For any utilities that have one meter for multiple units it’s typically the property owners responsibility or paid by an HOA.

Ultimately, that bill is the property owners responsibility and if it doesn’t get paid, the HOA comes after the owner not the tenant. It’s not wise to leave that responsibility in the tenants’ hands. In turn we always charge as much for rent as we can to help cover these type of expenses for the property owner.

Yes. Most places we manage do not allow pets and that is always what we recommend.

On the 10th of each month, or the next business day if that is a weekend or holiday, you’ll get an email letting you know you have a new statement in your portal and it will include a link to log in. In your portal look for the navigation bar on the left and click “Statements.” You will also receive the deposit in your bank account on that same day each month. The first deposit into your bank account can take a few extra days because the bank has to verify the account.

We do not manage ADUs or in-home apartments where the homeowner lives on the same property.

 Local zoning and practical realities of shared spaces (utilities, HVAC, parking, yard use, and maintenance access) usually require greater owner involvement and make third-party management impractical.

 In these situations, it is more practical, and the homeowner typically prefers to handle things in a way that best suits their living arrangements and relationship with the tenant.

We cover all of Utah County and the southern half of Salt Lake County. We do not manage commercial properties, but we manage most types of residential properties. There are a few exceptions: we do not manage homes that are more than 40 years old or rent out individual rooms within a home. We have a couple of videos that explain some of the reasons behind these exclusions: Renting Individual Rooms, and Risk Reduction Tips

Yes. We require a $300 owner reserve, which is waived for owners with multiple units.

This is your money, held in a trust account and reflected on your monthly owner statement. It helps cover occasional expenses, such as maintenance, without delays. If funds are used, the reserve is replenished from the following month’s rental income.
