We rent a house through GLPM and had two appliances needing repair one month. They were both resolved within 48 hours. Oscar and Derek were very responsive when we requested help. After each work order was placed, they communicated who would complete the service. Both of them checked in with me to make sure the service was done to my satisfaction when the projects were completed. Thank you guys!

This management company is definitely one of the better companies I’ve ever had. All maintenance issues that have been reported were promptly solved and easy to schedule. Communication is very easy and effective as well.

Currently a tenant at one of the properties they manage. Alex has been super helpful in a maintenance request we submitted. They have been communicating with us promptly and giving us updates regarding said request. 10/10

Owning rental property in Orange County is Profitable and Smart

Orange County is a great place for real estate investments. High demand, good weather and a booming economy, combined with limited new construction, results in high rental prices and low vacancies. While the high cost of entry is high, the potential for passive income, tax benefits, and long-term value growth make Orange County rental properties a great investment opportunity.

According to Census.gov, Orange County’s renter population is 43.5%. In comparison, the national average is 34.2%. With such a large renter population, you can expect a high demand for rental properties. In fact, a report by RentCafe found that Orange County has an occupancy rate of 95.7% and, on average, vacant properties have 13 competing renters at any given time. With only 0.23% of new housing construction, there are not enough homes to satisfy renters. On average, vacant properties are filled within only 40 days in Orange County.

Orange County has many desirable neighborhoods. For those looking for the perfect beach home, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, and Newport Beach offer the perfect luxury living. On the more casual end, Huntington Beach embodies the classic California surf culture. For those looking to be close to education, Irvine and Fullerton are both homes of California Universities (UC Irvine and Fullerton, respectively). Other great suburban neighborhoods include Anaheim, Brea, Buena Park, Costa Mesa, San Clemente, Tustin, and Westminster.

Rent prices in Orange County tend to be some of the highest in the nation. One bedrooms tend to rent for $2,200. Two bedrooms will be closed to $3,000-$4,000. You’ll see prices rise near the coast and universities. Owning rental property can be a lot easier when using a rental management company. If you’re in search of a reliable Orange County property management company, schedule a call with us.
