It has been said that if you play a country music song backwards, you get your dog back, your wife back and your life back! 🙂  I love country music and all of the sayings in the south. And this saying is one that we use frequently when describing why you should hire a property manager to manage your property.
If the reason that you began investing in real estate was to have a passive income, why would you ignore the obvious and keep managing your investments yourself?  Recently I heard another saying; “Someday is not a day of the week”.  If you are telling yourself that someday you will hire someone to manage your real estate investments, you may be missing out on weekends and or vacations! Because Some Day is now. So play that song backwards and change how you “manage your real estate” and let us do the heavy lifting while you go to the beach!

A few weeks ago our team member, Jo, took over the maintenance hotline for the weekend. Even though technology is helpful and plays such a big role in our lives, it can have its faults. Jo was taking maintenance requests and dispatching and her computer crashed! She thought, oh no the weekend is going to be lost! Fortunately she was able to call Ricky our GM and within minutes another team member Mary took over for a couple of hours until Jo’s system came back up. I think we can all agree that weekends are something that we cherish! Don’t have a lost weekend..

“Team” is a phrase that HTSI highly values. It makes it easy to navigate even if we hit bumps in the road. Not only is our team here to help each other, we are here to help YOU!  And we want you to weekend, like you have never “weekended” before. Here at HTSI we have a 24/7 maintenance hotline to ensure everything is running smoothly for our tenants and owners! So give us a call to find out more about our services and weekend away from landlording!

The most important weekend is coming up! We wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas! 

 

To your success!

2022 is shaping up to be quite a year! Hurricanes, Inflation and High interest rates, Oh No! However, if you are invested in residential real estate it has been good year! Values are up, Rents are up!  Everyone is concerned about whether or not this can be sustained?

The answer is no, not at the same growth percentages. Values have been on an upward trajectory since 2020!  But has the real estate sales market peaked? This is what the data is beginning to show.. However, it is still hard for buyers to find a house!  And properties are in multiple offers everyday!  So we are still in a Seller’s market!

The rental market has felt a more substantial increase! Rental rates during this time in Greenville, SC and surrounding communities have had a growth rate of close to 10% a year or more, depending on location, product, amenities and condition etc..  Since July though, pricing has began to flatten and just since September there has been an increase of days on market.

Enjoy the increase in values and rents while they are here, and know that with inflation, and high demand you are in the right place as an investor!  So that’s the Good! And yes, the Bad change could come around.  We have seen it before, and hopefully it won’t get Ugly.  Just know that Residential Real Estate is an investment class which has its ups and downs.  Call us today is we can help you plan your next real estate transaction whether it be selling, buying or renting.

To your success!

Thank you for your business and your referrals! Call us today about renting or selling your property!

We had a great staff Holiday Party at our office in Greenville! (See pictures below) We have a contest each year to see who can wear the most outlandish Chirstmas hat or socks etc.. This year a couple of people went a bit off script (See pictures of the grinch below) Its a crazy, busy time! The New Year is upon us and we are ready for great things! Thank you for your business this past year we appreciate all of you so much!

Our staff, vendors and clients are giving back this time of year with their time and funds! The last 2 years we have partnered with Seacoast Church and Miracle Hill to fill up “Journey Bags” for kids in the foster system! (See pictures below) This is a backpack that has essentials and fun items for the kids as they travel the hard road through the system. This year 130 bags are going out to those in need! Awesome!

We hope that you had a wonderful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!

Be kind to those in need through the charities we support. (From the HTSI Credo)

To your success!

These days everything seems to be a moving target!  This holds true for navigating “The Covid and Evictions”.   Almost daily clients ask me how the presence of Covid 19 or in this case Covid 21 is affecting their rental investments.  Fortunately we continue to move forward with both “in person” showings (using Covid protocols) and evictions if needed.  The courts have opened up and are operating either on Zoom or in person.  And appear to be doing business as usual.  This is a positive sign that we are getting back to some semblance of order in this area.

The CDC’s Eviction Ban is no longer in place due to a case brought before the Supreme Court.  However, there are still areas of the country where local bans are in place but fortunately not in South Carolina.  And for those customers that are suffering through this horrible disease there is rental assistance available through various agencies in the area, see this link- https://www.schousing.com/Home/Resources-for-Renters.

We hope and pray that all of your tenant/customers pay and stay!  And that all stay safe as we all live in this new reality.  Please feel free to reach out to us if you need help acquiring more rental properties and or taking care of the ones you already have!

***NOTE*** – This year we are giving back for Christmas and helping Seacoast Church gather items for “Journey Bags” for children arriving into the foster care system! The intent is to help a child be able to have dignity in carrying their belongings with a backpack (instead of a trash bag) and provide them with items that they can use to make their journey a little easier.  If you are interested in helping us with this email us at; property.htsi@gmail.com or call our office at 864-395-6538!  Thank you in advance for your participation!

To your success!
