Indianapolis Home Rentals Featuring Silver Property Managment

This article, featuring an Indianapolis property management company, brings Rent It Today back to its roots:  Home Rentals.  As mentioned before on this blog, Rent It Today originally launched its website marketing residential houses for rent in the midwest.  Today’s customer spotlight article features Silver Property Management.

Indianapolis, Indiana - Home Rentals in Indianapolis

Silver Property Management Inc. is a full service property management company, specializing in home rentals, in The Indianapolis Metro Area.  If you are interested in a house for rent in Indianapolis (or a condo, townhome, or apartment to call home), contact Silver Property Management, www.spmIndy.com.  Lisa Andrews, owner and true real estate professional, provided a very informative article about the Indianapolis rental market, Silver Property Management, and its affiliate companies…

Silver Property Management Logo - Indianapolis Home RentalsAs a native and life-long resident of Indianapolis Indiana one of the things that I have grown to appreciate the most about this city are its hard working down-to-earth friendly residents and the expected stability of life.

Don’t get me wrong, the hit that the nation has felt to the economy are felt here as well.  The downward turn in the economy, which resulted in a record number of home foreclosures, was the trigger point for the other owners of Silver Property Management, Inc. and I to get involved in the real estate market – and we haven’t slowed down yet.

In 2004 the owners of Silver Property Management began picking up single family homes in the Indianapolis area.  Contrary to many investors, we sought out to find those projects that required more than paint and carpet as we understood that the true value was in the homes that other investors wouldn’t dream of bidding on that were in strong residential areas.  From 2004 through today the owners have gathered a portfolio of over 100 single family homes, two commercial buildings and 2 apartment buildings with a total of 133 units.

Often people will ask – why Indianapolis?

  • Indianapolis is ranked as one of the country’s top markets for return on rental properties

-Forbes Aug. 2009

  • Indianapolis ranked 6th on list of “Best Cities for Jobs.”

Forbes, January, 2008

  • Indiana ranked “Best State for Business” in the Midwest and 11th nationally. Indiana ranked 3rd in the nation in “Business Friendliness,” 4th in transportation, and 6th in cost of business.

Chief Executive Magazine, Jan. /Feb. 2009

For these and many other reasons this is why our roots are in the Indianapolis real estate market.

Over the years, as our portfolio grew, so did our knowledge of what it takes to run a successful rental property.  In 2008 it was a natural transition to start to offer what had previously only been offered to our own portfolio to new outside investors.

Customer Spotlight: Barrett Eastman Property Management LLC – Phoenix Home Rentals

Rent It Today started its company by marketing residential rental properties and homes for rent.  Today our customer spotlight finds itself back in “The Valley of the Sun”, illuminating a property management company that services the Phoenix and Scottsdale Arizona metro areas:  Barrett Eastman Property Management LLC – BE Homes.

The Valley of The Sun

BE Homes and their Phoenix rental homes, will always be dear to our hearts, at Rent It Today.  In the fall of 2008 Rent It Today, launched its updated website where anything for rent could be searched and listed throughout North America.  The 1.5 year period before then, Rent It Today’s website only advertised residential real estate in The Greater Cincinnati Area.   By chance and as a result of a random internet search, BE Homes became one of the first calls I placed outside of Cincinnati.   I left a message for BE Homes and ran a quick errand.  When I returned my partner was finishing up a call back from Barrett Eastman Property Management.  Although at the time our website was a little rough around the edges,  Barrett Eastman believed in Rent It Today and signed up for our services that day.  Thus BE Homes was one of the first rental companies to use Rent It Today’s new look website and national advertising service.

BE Homes has a large selection of Scottsdale homes for rent and rental houses in the Phoenix Metro Area.  If you are looking for a single family residential house in Scottsdale or Phoenix then Barrett Eastman almost certainly manages an investment property that meets your needs.
