Welcome to the Logical Property Management Blog. Below you'll find blog posts specific to Property Owners or Tenants to learn more about how we work and what you should be looking for.
You don’t HAVE to do these things at Christmastime…but it’s a great landmark to work from. Every property needs regular maintenance, and not all maintenance happens on the same schedule. Some things need to be done monthly, like a basic drive-by-and-look checkup. Some need to be done once a season, or just at the […]
There are just some questions that are too hard to find answers to. Hopefully, these are some of them. Royal Rose Properties is a firm believer in helping out Do-It-Yourself Landlords. From our perspective, the more of you that succeed, the more of you that may eventually get big enough to need our services […]
Strange as it sounds, a short-term investment property is generally intended to last a long time. ‘Short-term,’ here, refers specifically to properties that are intended to be rented out to tenants for short terms — several days, maybe a month on the outside. Short-term properties have become very popular in destination cities as apps […]
Man, these guys annoy us. We wrote a story about a tenant suffering at the hands of some con artists pretending to be landlords a few weeks back. Today, it’s time to talk about a different kind of criminal — one who gets away with their scam legally, albeit barely. We’re talking about the […]
Renovating is always a matter of ROI. Eventually, every property needs renovation. If you’re not careful, the process can take your home off the market for too long, making it less profitable than you need it to be. So how does a DIY Landlord do it right? Plan Ahead The worst thing you can do […]

None of the tenant’s suffering has been exaggerated in the least — but details have been made extremely vague to protect the innocent. Royal Rose Properties was hired several months ago […]
Contrary to most people’s intuition, taking decent property pictures with your phone is…well, OK, maybe not ‘easy,’ but at least ‘possible’!

Did you know there is more to the average tenant than just their financial status? We love screening tenants. We have to; we have hundreds of properties in our portfolio and there’s rarely less than 25 on the market at once. We get hundreds of applications, and we screen them all. Of course we use […]
Accepting partial rent payments can mess up your plans in a big way. Don’t do it unless you know exactly what it means!
