The Hidden Costs of Self-Managing Rentals
For many housing providers, self-managing seems like a way to save money. No management fees, no middleman. But in practice, the reality is different. Screening tenants, handling emergency calls at midnight, navigating California’s ever-changing rental laws (like AB 1482 rent caps or AB 2801 deposit rules)—it quickly becomes overwhelming.
In cities like Pittsburg, Antioch, Brentwood, Oakley, Bay Point, and Concord, the rental market moves fast. A slow or inexperienced approach can mean longer vacancies, higher repair bills, and compliance mistakes that cost thousands.
The Croskey Advantage: Turning Stress Into Stability
At Croskey Real Estate, we exist to give self-managing landlords back their time and peace of mind. Our services cover:
• Tenant Placement & Screening: Background, credit, rental history, and income verification.
• Lease Execution: California-compliant digital leases that protect you from legal risk.
• Maintenance Coordination: 24/7 Property Meld system for quick, transparent repairs.
• Compliance Support: We stay ahead of California housing laws so you don’t have to.
• Condition Assessments: Move-in, mid-lease, and move-out inspections with photo documentation.
Instead of scrambling from one crisis to another, you get predictable income and professional support.
Tailored Solutions for Every Housing Provider
No two landlords are alike. Maybe you just bought your first single-family rental near Brentwood schools. Or perhaps you’ve been juggling a small portfolio across Oakley’s Summer Lake community and Pittsburg’s Marina District.
Whatever your situation, Croskey Real Estate adapts. We create solutions tailored to your needs, whether you need full-service property management or support for DIY landlords who want to stay hands-on.
Protecting Your Bottom Line
Time isn’t the only resource at risk—your Net Operating Income (NOI) is too. Poor tenant placement, delayed repairs, or missed legal deadlines can drain profits. With Croskey’s systems, you benefit from:
• Faster leasing = fewer vacancy days
• Transparent reporting = better decision-making
• Preventative maintenance = lower long-term costs
• Optional SureVestor Protection = up to 25 weeks rent loss covered
Why Go It Alone?
The allure of self-management is understandable—but the stress, risk, and lost time rarely pay off. With Croskey Real Estate, you get more than a management company—you get a partner who helps you maximize returns, stay compliant, and finally enjoy the true benefits of real estate investing.
