Transparent Pricing
Flat-Rate Management Compared to Percentage Fees
Many Sacramento property managers charge a percentage of the monthly rent plus additional fees. The table below compares typical costs on a property renting for $2,200 per month.
On higher-rent properties the difference grows, because our fee stays flat while a percentage fee rises with the rent. Our rental property management page covers vacancy, turnover, and net rental income in more detail.
The $99 rate covers single-family homes. Duplexes are $125 per month and fourplexes are $225 per month. If you own more than four units, call us and we will put together a custom quote.
Full Service Vs Leasing Only
Both options include the same marketing, showings, and screening. The difference is what happens after the tenant moves in.
Leasing Only
A one-time lease-up fee of half of one month's rent, with no monthly fee.
- ✓ Rent analysis and listing
- ✓ Marketing and showings
- ✓ Comprehensive tenant screening
- ✓ Lease preparation and signing
- ✓ Move-in inspection and key handover
After move-in, you manage the property yourself. Rent collection, maintenance calls, renewals, notices, and year-end reporting are not included, and each new placement carries a new lease-up fee.
Full Service
Half of one month's rent at placement, then $99 per month for a single-family home, $125 for a duplex, $225 for a fourplex.
- ✓ Everything in leasing only
- ✓ Rent collection and owner disbursement
- ✓ Maintenance coordination at cost plus 5% markup
- ✓ Lease renewals at no extra fee
- ✓ Notices and tenant communication
- ✓ Monthly and year-end financial reporting
- ✓ Owner portal access
- ✓ 1-year guarantee on every tenant we place
Choose Leasing Only If
You want to run the rental yourself. Alpha markets the property, shows it, screens applicants, and prepares the lease. After the tenant moves in, rent collection, maintenance calls, renewals, and bookkeeping are yours. You pay half of the first month's rent once, and nothing monthly.
Choose Full Service If
You want the rental to run without your involvement. Alpha collects rent, dispatches maintenance, handles renewals and notices, and sends monthly and year-end statements. You pay half of the first month's rent at placement, then the flat monthly rate for your property type.
Tenant Screening
Comprehensive Tenant Screening for Sacramento Rentals
Credit History
We review payment history, outstanding debts, and any bankruptcy filings on the credit report.
Background Information
We review background information for every adult applicant, using the same written standard for each one.
Income Verification
We verify income and employment, using the same standard for every applicant.
Rental History and References
We contact previous landlords about on-time payment, property condition, and lease compliance.
Eviction Records
Checked across nationwide courts for any prior filings.
We back our screening with a one-year tenant guarantee. If a tenant we've placed in a property under our full-service management contract breaks their lease within the first year, we will place the next tenant with no additional lease-up fee. Normal cleaning, repair and vacancy costs still apply.
Our Specialty
Single-Family Rental Management in Sacramento
Single-family rentals need different handling than apartment buildings, where a maintenance crew is often already on-site. When a pipe bursts in a rental home in Folsom, a licensed plumber needs to be dispatched quickly to limit water damage.
Single-family homes also come with landscaping, exterior upkeep, HVAC systems, irrigation, garage doors, fencing, and HOA requirements. Our vendor network and dispatch process are built around these needs.
With more than 25 years of experience managing Sacramento rentals, we know that older homes in Fair Oaks and Carmichael need different attention than newer builds in Elk Grove or Roseville. We plan maintenance and marketing around each property.
When It Matters Most
How We Handle Late Rent, Repairs and Evictions
Late rent, urgent repairs, and the end of a tenancy are the moments when an owner needs a property manager most. The cards below explain how Alpha handles each one.
Late Rent
When a tenant misses a rent payment, our team follows up with the tenant and handles the notices and communication, so you do not have to collect the rent yourself.
Maintenance Emergencies
Tenants can submit maintenance requests 24/7, and our team dispatches a vendor from our network and follows each job through to completion. You approve costs before work begins over $250.
Eviction Support
If a tenancy has to end, Alpha handles the eviction for you under your management agreement. Call Sally at (916) 596-1665 for personal assistance.
Technology
Your Owner Portal
Your secure owner portal gives you 24/7 access to financial statements, rent payments, and important documents for your property.
- ✓ Current and past financial statements
- ✓ Real-time rent payment tracking
- ✓ Inspection reports with photos (optional, $125/year)
