Investment property owners have had an image problem in the US for generations. Most likely the Simon LeGreed character of early 20th century silent films was a symptom rather than a cause of this situation.
Whatever its origin, we at 8 West can think of no stereotype that is more inaccurate and unfair than this one. Our San Diego property management clients are without exception – fair minded people who just want to secure financial security by providing housing to responsible people.
As a matter of fact, many of our clients have gone beyond what we would think of as “fair”. As an example, one client voluntarily paid over $1,000 in plumbing, mold testing and other necessary tasks associated with a water leak from a tenant owned refrigerator because he felt for a single mother who was the innocent victim of an appliance failure.
Another client of ours has a plan that is still a secret from his tenants. As a demonstration of his appreciation for them being good tenants, he plans to give them half a month rent free in December as a Christmas present.
As if such generosity were not enough, a retired client couple of ours will be spending the next year as volunteers working for an orphanage in Mexico. In large measure, they hired 8 West to free them up for this wonderful endeavor.
With this information in mind, we think you can appreciate why our San Diego property management clients have our heartfelt loyalty. We are honored that our clients entrust us with an important element of their financial security and we do all we can to live up to that responsibility.
