Your Strategic Partner in Rental Ownership
Owning rental property in South Florida should be a path to financial freedom, not a second full-time job. At Incubate Property Management (IPM), we specialize in turning "active" landlord headaches into truly "passive" investment income. We provide full-service, tailor-made management solutions designed to protect your asset, maximize your cash flow, and give you back your most valuable asset: your time.
Full-Service Management Built for ROI
We don't just "watch" your property; we actively manage its performance. Our core service stack for rental owners includes:
1. High-Velocity Leasing & Marketing
Vacancy is the ultimate profit killer. We use professional photography, 3D tours, and syndication across 50+ listing sites to ensure your property gets maximum exposure. Our goal is to find the right tenant in the shortest time possible.
2. Rigorous 10-Point Tenant Screening
A "bad" tenant costs far more than a few weeks of vacancy. Our screening process includes:
- National credit check and score analysis.
- Nationwide criminal background check.
- Eviction history search.
- Employment and income verification (3x rent requirement).
- Previous landlord references and rental history.
3. Automated Rent Collection & Disbursement
No more chasing checks. Our online portal allows tenants to pay via ACH, credit card, or at local retail locations. Funds are then electronically disbursed to your bank account, ensuring you get paid faster and more consistently.
4. Proactive Maintenance & 24/7 Response
We maintain a network of vetted, licensed, and insured vendors who provide quality work at fair prices. From minor leaks to emergency repairs, we handle the coordination and oversight, keeping you informed without requiring you to manage the work yourself.
5. Institutional-Grade Financial Reporting
Through our secure owner portal, you have 24/7 access to your property’s financial performance. View monthly income/expense statements, year-end tax documents (1099s), and individual invoices with a few clicks.
The IPM Owner Portal: You're Always in the Driver's Seat
Our advanced property management software is designed to provide complete transparency. While we handle the day-to-day operations, you retain full oversight. Through the portal, you can:
- View real-time rental payments and balances.
- Review and approve maintenance work orders.
- Access property inspection reports with photos.
- Download monthly owner statements and tax documents.

Referral Partners: Expertise Where It Counts
Unlike "big box" property management firms that claim to be experts in every single zip code from Jupiter to Homestead, we believe in localized expertise. While we manage the operations with precision, we partner with the top local real estate agents for marketing and leasing.
We will connect you with an expert agent partner who specifically covers your property’s neighborhood. This ensures:
- Accurate Pricing: Deep knowledge of local block-by-block market trends.
- Better Leads: Access to local networks and prospective tenants.
- Maximum Value: An agent who knows how to sell the lifestyle of your specific area.

Management fees & what is included
| Line item | Typical range (South Florida) | What’s included vs extras |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly management (% model) | Typically 8–12% of collected rent | Included: rent collection, owner portal, vendor coordination, routine reporting. Ask about: after-hours surcharge policies |
| Monthly management (flat-fee model) | Often roughly $100–$250+/door depending on rent and scope | Same core ops as % plans when scope matches — compare total annual cost on higher-rent homes where % adds up faster |

| Lease renewal | Usually $200–$500 | Included: market check, renewal paperwork, rent recommendation |
| Onboarding / takeover | $0–$300+ one-time (varies) | Setup of owner portal, utility/vendor transfer checklist — confirm whether waived on multi-door portfolios |
| Maintenance coordination | Dispatch usually included | Included: triage and vendor dispatch. Extra / pass-through: vendor invoices; some firms add a coordination or markup % — we disclose pass-throughs |
| Eviction / legal admin | Case-by-case | Court filing, attorney, and process-server costs are typically owner extras; confirm admin time vs attorney fees in the proposal |
