Squatters, deferred maintenance and non-paying tenants are what our team handles every day. This is the process on every building we take over.
Our team takes over management at closing. We walk every unit, document conditions, secure vacant units and common areas, confirm insurance, and set up rent collection and resident communication.
Squatters and long-term non-payers are handled with counsel through the proper legal process, in full compliance with Oakland’s Just Cause and rent ordinances. Paying residents stay, with documented leases.
Life-safety items, roof and plumbing leaks, electrical, heat and hot water, pest control and open code items come first. That protects residents and the building.
Unit turns (flooring, paint, fixtures, kitchens and baths), common areas and curb appeal. The scope is set after full access to the building.
Renovated units go to screened market renters and to housing-program partners we already work with (OHA, HACA, ABODE, Hamilton Families).
Ongoing in-house management: collections, preventive maintenance, utility bill-back where allowed, and expense control.
The owner controls leasing, collections and maintenance directly, so nothing waits on a third-party manager. Contractors, cleaners and maintenance staff already work across our East Bay buildings.
About 57% vacant at close in November 2025; 98% occupied as of Oct 11, 2026.
