Managing a rental property comes with a lot of moving parts—but it doesn’t have to come with headaches. With a thoughtful and proactive approach, Finch House takes the stress out of ownership and helps protect the long-term value of your investment.
It starts well before the property is listed. Every home is evaluated for safety issues, maintenance needs, and simple upgrades that can reduce liability and increase appeal. Clear, honest recommendations help owners avoid costly surprises later on. From there, Finch House handles the full marketing and screening process. Prospective tenants are pre-qualified through conversation before ever seeing the property. Applications are thoroughly reviewed, including background, credit, income, and rental history checks. Only highly qualified applicants are considered. Move-in is carefully documented with a walk-through to ensure clear expectations and a smooth transition.
Once a tenant is placed, support continues without missing a beat. Finch House manages all tenant communication, rent collection, maintenance coordination, and lease enforcement. Monthly reports and rent distributions are delivered on time, and detailed income and expense statements are available throughout the year—including end-of-year summaries for tax purposes.
Behind Finch House is broker and owner Katie Throne, who brings over 20 years of experience to every decision and interaction. That insight shapes the responsive, relationship-driven service the company is known for. Whether you own one rental or several, Finch House provides the structure and peace of mind that turn a property into a true investment.
Before setting up a property showing, Finch House takes time to pre-qualify applicants. This quick conversation helps avoid unnecessary application fees and gives you a clear idea of where you stand before moving forward.
We don’t charge application fees or run credit checks until after pre-qualification. If you have questions about your rental history, credit score, or income, we encourage you to reach out first. We believe in open communication and are happy to talk through your situation.
When reviewing applications, a few key factors make the biggest impact. Strong rental history, stable income, and good credit will always help your chances. Typically, we look for applicants whose household income is at least two and a half times the monthly rent, who have a history of on-time payments, and who show financial stability through their credit profile.
Issues like late rental payments, low credit scores, insufficient income, past evictions, or bankruptcies can hurt an application. However, every situation is different. In some cases, additional references, a higher security deposit, or a qualified co-signer may help strengthen an application that doesn’t fully meet the standard criteria.
If you’re unsure where you stand, don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here to make the process clear, straightforward, and fair.
