Why Owning Rentals in Fullerton is a Strong Investment
Fullerton is one of the most stable rental markets in Orange County due to its diverse tenant base. Unlike other cities that rely on a single industry, Fullerton’s economy is driven by top-tier education and healthcare.
- St. Jude Medical Center & Raytheon: These major employers attract long-term, high-income professionals looking for single-family homes in neighborhoods like Golden Hills and Raymond Hills.
- CSU Fullerton: With over 40,000 students and faculty, there is a constant demand for rentals. We specialize in managing these unique leases, ensuring parental guarantors are secured and turnover is handled efficiently between semesters.
How Much Does Fullerton Property Management Cost?
We believe in simple, transparent pricing with no hidden junk fees.
- Single-Family & Condos: 8% of monthly rent (Reduced to 7% for rents over $6k/mo).
- Multi-Family (5-15 units): 6% of monthly rent.
- Leasing Fee: 25% of one month’s rent (includes marketing, showings, and screening).
- Setup: $0. Termination Fees: $0.
Non-Resident Owners: Do you live outside of California? We handle your required Franchise Tax Board (FTB) quarterly withholdings ($50/qtr) to ensure you remain compliant with state tax laws without the paperwork headache.
What We Do: A "Whole Home" Approach
We don’t just collect rent; we manage the asset.
1. Strategic Marketing & Pricing
We use live market data from North Orange County comps to price your rental accurately—balancing maximum income with minimal vacancy. Your home is syndicated to Zillow, Trulia, HotPads, and 50+ other sites, complete with professional photography and 3D virtual tours to attract quality applicants instantly.
2. "Good Tenant" Screening (Crucial for Fullerton)
Finding a tenant is easy; finding the right tenant is hard. Our screening is rigorous, specifically designed to filter out high-risk applicants. We verify:
- Income (3x rent requirement)
- Credit & Criminal History
- Past Landlord References
- Pet Screening
- Guarantor Verification (Essential for student rentals near CSUF)
3. Proactive Maintenance & Historic Home Care
Fullerton has many homes built before 1970, which require specialized care. We have a vetted network of local vendors who understand:
- Sewer & plumbing issues common in older Downtown/Raymond Hills properties.
- Roofing & HVAC maintenance for hot North County summers.
- 24/7 Emergency Response so you never wake up to a leaking water heater at 2 AM.
The Good Life Multi-Family Advantage
For investors owning 5+ units in Fullerton, we offer a dedicated Portfolio Manager. Instead of juggling multiple contacts, you get one point of contact who oversees leasing, maintenance, and compliance. We conduct monthly curb-appeal checks and biannual strategic walkthroughs to catch deferred maintenance early, helping you budget for CapEx improvements before they become emergencies.

Fullerton’s housing options range from historic charm to modern, contemporary homes. Some new developments have modern condos and give residents and investors a chance to find a property they love and that meets their specific needs. Several factors influence home prices in Fullerton, such as their proximity to educational institutions, historic districts, and downtown. Homes closer to these areas tend to have higher property values due to the demand among students, faculty, and staff.
Pros of Investing in Fullerton
The presence of CSU Fullerton and surrounding healthcare sectors creates a consistent demand for housing and a stable economy for investors. Fullerton is known for offering a well-rounded lifestyle as it consistently cares for its recreational spaces and parks. Because it is also so close to LA and other Orange County cities, Fullerton gives its residents a wide range of employment options, too!
Cons of Investing in Fullerton
Because Fullerton is a densely populated region, you might run into a lot of traffic and congested areas during peak hours. Most residents rely on single-car transportation, making some commutes and finding parking difficult. Additionally, the yearly influx of college students to the area and the demand for housing can strain the local market, drive rental prices up, and pose challenges for non-student residents to find affordable housing.
