Founded by Sally Friar-LaBate, Alpha manages 500+ residential properties with a team that focuses on one thing: single-family homes. We don't split attention between apartment complexes and individual rentals. Your property gets the same dedicated oversight whether it rents for $1,800 or $3,200.
Transparent Pricing
$99 Per Month. What You Actually Pay
Most Sacramento property management companies charge a percentage of monthly rent plus layered fees. Here's what that looks like on a property renting for $2,200 per month:
That's $2,800 to $4,000 back in your pocket in the first year alone. The math gets even better on higher-rent properties because our fee stays flat while percentage-based fees scale up.
Tenant Screening
Five-Point Screening That Protects Your Investment
Credit History
Payment patterns, outstanding debts, bankruptcy filings across all three bureaus.
Criminal Background
County and national records checked for every adult applicant.
Income Verification
We confirm applicants earn at least 3x the monthly rent.
Rental History
Direct contact with previous landlords about payment, property condition, and lease compliance.
Eviction Records
Checked across California courts for any prior filings.
We back our screening with a one-year tenant guarantee. If a tenant we place leaves within 12 months, we replace them at no additional cost.
Our Specialty
Built For Single-Family Homes
Single-family rentals don't operate like apartment buildings. When a pipe bursts in an apartment complex, a maintenance crew is already on-site. When it happens in your rental home in Folsom, someone needs to dispatch a licensed plumber within hours, or you're looking at water damage and an angry tenant.
Single-family tenants expect responsive handling of landscaping, exterior upkeep, HVAC systems, and plumbing. They call about things apartment renters never deal with, like irrigation leaks, garage door openers, fence repairs, HOA compliance. Our vendor network and dispatch process are built around these exact needs.
We've managed single-family properties in Sacramento long enough to know the patterns. Older homes in Fair Oaks and Carmichael need different attention than newer builds in Elk Grove or Roseville. A property near American River Parkway attracts different tenants than one in Natomas. We adjust screening criteria, maintenance schedules, and marketing approach based on the property and the neighborhood.
When something breaks in a single-family home, there is no building maintenance crew to absorb the cost. The owner is responsible, and having the right vendor dispatched quickly makes a real difference. Our vendor network handles landscaping, exterior maintenance, HVAC systems, plumbing, garage door openers, fence repairs, and HOA compliance issues that apartment renters never deal with directly.
When It Matters Most
What Happens When Things Go Wrong
Late rent, lease violations, property damage, evictions. These situations keep rental owners up at night. Here is how Alpha handles each one.
Late Rent
When a tenant misses a payment deadline, our team starts follow-up the same day. We handle notices, communication, and escalation so you never have to chase rent.
Maintenance Emergencies
Tenants submit requests 24/7 through our system. We dispatch from our vetted vendor network and oversee every job. You approve costs before work begins.
Evictions
If a tenancy needs to end, we manage the legal process from notice to resolution. California eviction law is strict. We keep you compliant every step.
Technology

- ✓ Real-time rent payment tracking
- ✓ Open maintenance work orders
- ✓ Year-end tax documents
Market Insight
Sacramento Rental Market Context
Sacramento's rental market has shifted over the past several years. Median home prices pushed more residents toward renting, and AB 1482 (California's Tenant Protection Act) introduced rent increase caps and just-cause eviction requirements that affect most single-family rentals built before 2005.
For rental owners, this means compliance matters more than it used to. Lease terms, rent increase notices, and eviction procedures all need to follow specific rules or you risk legal exposure. Alpha handles compliance as part of standard management. You don't need to track legislative changes yourself.
The Sacramento metro also sees seasonal rental demand shifts. Summer months (May through August) bring the highest application volume, while winter placements take longer and may require adjusted pricing strategy. We time your listing and set your rent based on current market data, not a static number from last year's lease.
