Welcome to Porchlamp Property Management

At Porchlamp Property Management we are passionate about real estate. We believe that everyone should have a safe and comfortable place to lay their head. Beyond that, we think real estate is the most amazing way to build generational wealth. First as a homeowner, then expanding into investment real estate. Taking the stress out of housing for both the resident and the property owner is our goal.

Why Hire Us Vs. Self-Managing

YOU’LL MAKE MORE MONEY – AND SPEND LESS TIME MAINTAINING YOUR INVESTMENT.
Some people assume that property management is expensive - but that’s not the case at all. You will actually make more money in the long run due to better quality tenants that stay longer and less damage or repairs to deal with.
ELIMINATE THE CONSTANT RUN AROUND!
It can feel like a full time job dealing with repairs, complaints, collecting rent and coordinating vendors – and a constant state of stress. Transferring these responsibilities to a good property manager allows you to enjoy the benefits without spending all your free time working.
BETTER SCREENING PROCESS = BETTER TENANTS!
Because of our application tools and extensive resources, we can screen more tenants, and with more filters. We often have a waiting list of potential renters.
GOOD TENANTS LIKE TO WORK WITH PROFESSIONALS
Have you ever seen a social media post asking for connections with a private landlord? They do this because their application is less than desirable and they are hoping to get someone who will make an exception. People who have great credit, rental history, and solid income know that they are good tenants and look for a manager who is easy to communicate with and promptly attends to repair needs.
