Property Management

Over three decades of experience managing multi-family housing all across Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

FCP has over three decades of experience managing multi-family housing, providing service to Owners, Investors, and Residents all across Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Our goal is to maximize a property’s income potential and market value by controlling costs, establishing working systems, and quickly addressing deferred maintenance.

We are experts in the development and operation of Manufactured Housing and Apartment Communities. We are owners too, so we understand the concerns and challenges other owners face on a daily basis.

What We Do

We don’t just preserve your property’s current value

We Create Value

We analyze your property to uncover hidden assets. In a 50 unit apartment, we identified an underutilized and non-revenue generating area and created much needed additional storage space for the Residents. Storage fees generated an additional $19,000 in the first year of operation.

We Value Your Resident’s Experience

Our corporate philosophy ingrained into each Manager is “Happy Tenants = Profitable Operation”. We work hard to make sure that Tenants know that we will address their concerns that same day. We maintain communication with all parties (if the “sun sets” on a problem without resolution) to let them know of the progress on resolving an issue. FCP staff teaches Managers to work with Tenants to create a healthy and positive experience. Through rigorous training and consistent supervision, we provide the highest level of service.

Comprehensive Market Surveys are frequently performed to maximize the success and profitability of our client’s communities.

What makes our Market Survey different from other firms? Our Team performs extensive market research to create the most informative surveys available in the industry. This assures us that our client’s communities are the most competitive in their markets.

We routinely analyze our client’s Operational Expenses to increase revenue.

Upon intake of a new client’s property, we audit all aspects of operations. When we uncovered irregularly high water/sewer usage at a 45 unit apartment building in Seattle, with approval of the Owner, FCP implemented an inexpensive sub-metering system back-billing Tenants. This reduced the utility expenses by over 45%.

FCP has a wealth of Construction & Project Management experience

FCP has taken advantage of energy rebate programs available by several municipalities and other utility agencies. Our client base has enormously benefited by our aggressively seeking out these programs. We have had agencies conduct energy audits, and as a consequence clients have replaced windows, doors, insulation, lighting fixtures/lights, siding and plumbing at a cost savings of over 33%.

What We Provide

A pre-planned and efficient platform to launch your Online Reputation

90% of Renters rely on the internet as their primary resource in researching homes and land-lease communities. Our firm maximizes your Community’s presence online by creating professional websites and fully interactive Yelp pages.

These successful campaigns result in high quality Tenants choosing to live in your community.
