Welcome to this conversation about OREGON LANDLORDS, VENDORS & PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONALS

This community has grown through real conversations, practical advice, and people helping each other solve actual problems.

A lot of the best ideas start in the group, then grow into articles, resources, and better ways to connect landlords, vacation rental owners, property managers, and vendors.

New Mini-Series

Starting a Property Management Company in Oregon

We’ve started a new mini-series for people thinking about starting or growing a property management company in Oregon.

The first article digs into what it’s really like, what gets underestimated quickly, and some of the early mistakes that can cost people time and money.

Welcoming Our First OLVPMP Founding Vendors

Before we jump into today’s topic, I want to recognize two businesses that stepped up early to support what we’re building here.

As many of you know, I’ve been working on building the Oregon Landlords Vendor Directory so landlords and property managers can more easily find reliable vendors across the state.

Two companies have joined as our first Founding Vendors, helping us get this project off the ground.

Rentec Direct – Property Management Software

Many of you already know Rentec Direct. Our very first Founding Group Member! They’re a long-standing property management software platform used by independent landlords and property managers across the country.

Coastal Gem Cleaning – Oregon Coast Turnover Cleaning

Rebecca runs Coastal Gem Cleaning out of Rockaway Beach, Oregon, providing boutique-style vacation rental management support and rental turnover cleaning for properties on the Northern Oregon Coast.

Call Rebecca if you need your hot tub checked.
Call Rebecca if you need a video walkthrough of your property.
Call Rebecca if your cleaner cancelled last minute.

If you manage vacation rentals, you already know how difficult it can be to find reliable cleaning and turnover support on the coast. Rebecca has been doing this work for years.

Help Us Build the Vendor Directory

As we grow the vendor directory, we’re trying to understand where landlords are struggling most to find reliable help.

What vendors are you actively looking for right now?

• Turn-over cleaners
• Painters
• Junk removal & haulers
• Flooring
• Plumbers
• HVAC
• Electricians
• Landscaping
• Handyman services
• Software tools

Or something else?

Which one has been the hardest to find lately?

If you have a sense of what fair pricing looks like in your area, feel free to share that too.

More Support We’re Building Toward

We’re also making room for simple support services that can help landlords and small operators save time.

That can include things like:

• software installation
• simple troubleshooting
• setting up devices
• basic spreadsheet help
• Wi-Fi and router setup
• help getting a listing or simple system organized

More on that soon.

Property Management Vendors Are Welcome Here Too

Vendors are welcome in the Oregon Landlords community.

The best ones do more than advertise. They answer questions, share useful information, and become part of the network.

If you provide services for landlords, property managers, or vacation rental owners and want to be part of the conversation, the group is a good place to start.

We’ve been having a really interesting discussion in the group this week about starting a property management company vs. continuing to self-manage.

If you’ve ever considered making the jump, or if someone has asked you to manage for them, I’d love to hear your experience.

One More Thing

We’re thinking about future mini-series built around the kinds of questions people are actually asking, including vacation rentals, licensing, operations, cleaner support, and more.
