Moab Condo's 4 Rent property management services make vacation rentals a convenient and pleasurable experience for both its home owners and guests. Our job is to make your job easy to own a vacation property, and make money for you in the process.
The advantages of using Moab Condo's 4 Rent professional property management services are vast. One important reason is our "10 Unit Pledge Guarantee." Moab Condo's 4 Rent will guarantee...that at no time will we manage more than 10 units in our rental pool. Why is that so important? Other property management companies may have rental pools of upwards of 50 properties or more... so when they find a customer, you are competing against all of those other units in the rental pool. At Moab Condo’s 4 Rent, you are part of a much smaller rental pool of 10. This can translate to higher occupancy per unit, and higher occupancy means more money for the property owner. Our "10 Unit Pledge Guarantee," can allow Moab Condo’s 4 Rent property owners to feel more at ease as well. We take the time to pay close attention to your property. If you would like more detailed information about our services, give us a call at (435)260-1755 and ask for Shon Walter. Let us discuss the details of owning vacation property. If you could find a way to collect rent, and be able to pay the monthly payment on the loan, the annual taxes, the annual hazard insurance, the HOA fees, and enjoy the unit from time to time, would you be interested? This is your opportunity to play in one of the worlds largest playgrounds, stay in the property that you proudly own, and not have to worry about all the stress and added cost of a second home. Appreciation of the unit over time can work out pretty well. If your property could double in value in the next 10 years, go from around 300,000 to 600,000, that’s a $300,000 profit. What if you duplicated this effort, and were able to own two, three, or four units over 10 years? You may be able to build up a nice nest egg, which could make a profound impact in your later years!
