Did you know? IGrow Rentals manages over 6500 units and counting! Professional property management takes the hassle out of your investments. This gives you more time to strategise about your property portfolio rather than tending to tenant issues such as leaking taps, burst geysers, and tenant complaints and disputes.
“February is the month of love, and while flowers and chocolates are lovely, and my wife is very fond of being lavished with them, as property investors, we speak a different love language entirely. We speak tenderly of consistent rental income, low vacancy rates, beautifully maintained properties and tenants who pay on time.”- Jacques Fouché , IGrow CEO & Founder
If you’ve ever tried managing your own rental properties, you know that “labour of love” quickly becomes just labour. The 2 am emergency calls, the tenant disputes, the maintenance coordination…. It’s enough to make anyone question their life choices. That’s where professional property management becomes not just helpful, but essential to your investment success and sanity.
The love language of landlords: professional property management
Neville Hewett, Chief Operating Officer of IGrow Rentals, shares his thoughts on property management. He discusses that its core role is running a smooth property portfolio on behalf of our clients. IGrow Rentals takes charge of tenant and maintenance management to ensure your property investments’ success.
Let’s be truthful: nobody wants to become a landlord so they can spend their precious free time fixing leaking taps or mediating neighbour disputes about parking spaces.
“You fell in love with property investment, envisioning financial freedom, capital growth, and passive income. The “passive” part is key. Yet many property owners find themselves working harder for their investments than their investments work for them.” – Neville Hewett, Chief Operating Officer of IGrow Rentals
Nevlle says, “As I oversee IGrow Rental’s over 6,500 units, I can tell you with absolute certainty: professional property management isn’t an expense – it’s a business necessity that directly impacts your bottom line.”
What do property owners love?
If you strip away all the complex layers, property investors want these three things:
- Rental income that arrives on time, every time
- Properties that are well-maintained to protect their value
- Professional handling of everything else so they can focus on building their portfolio
The Hidden Costs of DIY Management
Many investors start their property investment journey by first managing their property themselves.
“After all, how hard can it be?”
The answer is: “harder and more expensive than you think.”
One of the hidden expenses is known as “opportunity cost”
In the case where you’re dealing with a blocked drain on Saturday morning, you’re not viewing new investment properties, researching growth areas, or building your budding portfolio. Professional property management frees you to do what property investors should be doing: investing, or enjoying the resulting success.
At IGrow Rentals, a professional property management company in South Africa, we credit-vet every potential tenant, verify employment, and check references thoroughly. Our 0.8% vacancy rate across 6,500+ managed properties speaks volumes to the quality of our tenant placements.
IGrow Rentals’ Tenant Management System automates rent collection, tracks payments, and flags issues before they become problems. You receive detailed monthly statements showing exactly where your money is and where it’s going.
We offer you an on-the-ground team, handling day-to-day tenant relationships while protecting your investment and your reputation.
The IGrow Rentals perks
Our large portfolio and integration with the IGrow Group provide us with the advantages of scale and experience that individual landlords simply cannot meet.
As part of the IGrow ecosystem and our rental property management services, IGrow Rentals integrates seamlessly with IGrow Home Loans, IGrow Private Wealth, IGrow Accounting & Tax Advisory, and IGrow Trusts.
“One avoided vacancy month pays for an entire year of professional management. One quality tenant placement saves months of headaches. One prevented legal issue protects years of profit. Professional management doesn’t cost money. Poor management does. The best part? What you pay for our services is tax-deductible.” – Neville Hewett, Chief Operating Officer of IGrow Rentals
The Freedom to Scale
With professional property management, your portfolio can grow without your workload becoming excessive. Purchasing your fifth property within your portfolio requires no more of your time than your first. That’s how you stay in love with property investment and reap the rewards long term.
