What You Need to Know about Florida Property Management

Managing rental property in Florida demands time, expertise, and knowledge of state regulations. You must find and screen tenants, collect rent, coordinate repairs, handle complaints, and comply with Florida landlord-tenant laws. Many landlords hire property management companies to handle these tasks.

Property managers act as intermediaries between you and your tenants. They market vacancies, screen applicants, collect rent, coordinate maintenance, and enforce lease terms. This proves especially valuable for out-of-state investors or landlords who own multiple properties.

Property management costs 8-12% of monthly rental income plus additional fees for services like tenant placement and lease renewals. You need to understand what you’re paying for and whether the investment makes financial sense for your situation. Our Kissimmee property management company has 2 fee options: 8% and 10%.
