In addition to monthly management fees, we charge a leasing fee (which is 25% of one month’s rent), a $150 annual inspection fee, and a $195 lease renewal fee.

For Non-California residents, the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) requires property managers to withhold a percentage of income from property owners who live out of state as a pre-tax. payment. Our charge is $50/quarter, which covers submitting these payments on your behalf and your annual tax forms.

Pros of Investing in Mission Viejo

We've had a property rented with Good Life for over three years now. One of the best parts about working with them is the coordinated maintenance. Being far away on the east coast, we rely on Good Life to respond and coordinate to maintenance requests big and small. There has been an uptick in service requests lately and Sonia has been fantastic to deal with. She's professional, engaging, and is always willing to work with us and answer any questions we have. It makes a huge difference working with someone like Sonia for peace of mind!

Good Life Property Management has been extremely helpful in my search for an apartment. They were responsive and I was able to schedule property manager and self-guided tours with only a days notice. I spoke with Angel, he was awesome. Answered all of my questions, worked with my schedule and was chill, it never felt overly professional. I also spoke with Taji who reviewed my application and made sure everything was seamless once I was approved. Many thanks to both of them. I’d recommend you look into Good Life’s properties.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Shanice from Good Life Leasing, and I can't say enough good things about her! She was incredibly helpful throughout the entire application process. Her knowledge and professionalism made everything smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Good Life Leasing and Shanice for their outstanding service. Thank you for making the experience so positive.

I recently started working with Good Life Property Management and I couldn't be more pleased with the level of service provided. Communication with Good Life has been excellent throughout our collaboration. They have been accessible, responsive, and transparent. I appreciate the team at Good Life Property Management and look forward to our new partnership.
