A rental should build your future.
It shouldn’t take over your life.
Vacancies, repair requests, applications and renewals all demand your attention. We bring those moving parts together so you have a clear point of contact and a more organized ownership experience.
Price with a plan.
Rental comparisons and thoughtful marketing help position your home competitively. We focus on avoiding unnecessary vacancy while finding a rent that makes sense for the property.
Stay ahead of the details.
Coordinated repairs, documented property needs and timely renewal conversations help you make informed decisions before small issues become bigger expenses.
Hand off the daily work.
We coordinate tenant communication, rent collection, leasing and maintenance requests so you can spend less time managing the rental yourself.
A personal approach to every property.
Homes, condos, townhomes and duplexes each have their own leasing and maintenance needs. We look at your property’s condition, rental positioning and ownership goals to build a practical management plan.
Already have a tenant? Moving out of town? Buying your first rental? Let’s talk about what support would make ownership easier.
Talk through my options with our teamThe right tenant starts with the right screening.
A polished listing gets attention. A structured application process helps you make a better-informed placement decision.
- Clear rental criteria: A consistent framework for evaluating applications.
- Verification and screening: Review of income, rental history and screening reports as applicable to the applicant and property.
- Documented leasing: Clear lease expectations and an organized move-in process.
- Respectful tenant relationships: Accessible communication and straightforward maintenance reporting.
Applications are evaluated consistently in accordance with applicable fair housing requirements. Screening reduces uncertainty but does not guarantee future payment or performance.
Stay informed without chasing updates.

What do the rental numbers tell you?
Estimate cap rate and annual net operating income. Adjust the example figures to reflect your property, then talk with Andy about the assumptions behind them.
Cap rate, explained.
Cap rate is the property’s estimated yearly operating income expressed as a percentage of its price or value. First subtract vacancy and operating expenses from rental income. Then divide that net operating income by the property value.
Example: $18,000 in annual net operating income ÷ a $300,000 property value = a 6% cap rate.
It’s a useful rule of thumb for comparing similar rental investments using consistent assumptions. A higher cap rate is not automatically a better investment: condition, location, vacancy risk and future repair needs matter too. There is no single “good” cap rate for every property. Financing and major capital replacements require a separate cash flow review.
What cap rate do investors look for?
Investors use cap rate to compare operating income against purchase price and assess whether a property’s income potential justifies its cost and risk. There is no reliable single target that most investors share.
As broad commercial-property context, cap rates of roughly 4%–10% are commonly discussed. An investor prioritizing a stable property in a strong location may accept 4%–6%, while someone taking on more risk may seek 8%–10% or higher. These are general reference ranges, not current Richmond rental benchmarks or recommended targets for a particular home.
For a house or duplex, compare similar local properties and review cash flow after mortgage payments, reserves and major repairs. Thoughtful rental pricing, fewer avoidable vacancies and controlled operating costs can support net operating income, which is the income figure used in cap rate.
Reference: LoopNet’s guide to cap rates.
Example inputs are illustrative, including the management fee. They are not a Taylor Homes quote. Include HOA dues, owner-paid utilities and annualized leasing costs in other operating costs. Major capital replacements, loan payments, depreciation and income taxes are excluded.
Cap rate = annual net operating income ÷ property value. This measures income before financing. It is not your cash-on-cash return or take-home cash flow.

Questions owners ask
Can you help if I already have a tenant?
Yes. We can discuss your existing lease, records, renewal timing and the steps needed to transition management.
What if I live outside Richmond?
Local coordination and online owner reporting can help you stay informed from a distance. We’ll discuss communication and property oversight expectations before management begins.
What does management cost?
Fees depend on the services and property. Ask Andy for a written proposal that explains ongoing management, leasing, renewals and any other charges. Calculator figures are examples, not quoted fees.
Can you help me decide whether to rent or sell?
Yes. Taylor Homes offers both residential real estate and property management services. We can discuss estimated rental income, ownership expenses and selling options in light of your goals.
Service scope, insurance arrangements, maintenance approvals and fees are defined in your management agreement. Rental estimates and calculator results are estimates, not guarantees.
