WE HEAR THIS EVERY DAY

You Want Rental Income, But You Don’t Want the Risk

Real estate is the best way to build wealth, but for a single-property owner, one mistake can be expensive. These are real concerns, and here’s what we tell every first-time rental owner in OKC.

"What if the house needs repairs I can't afford?"

Unexpected maintenance is the #1 fear for new rental owners. You lie awake imagining a $6,000 HVAC call at midnight.

→ Our maintenance technicians are on staff at below-market labor rates. We alert you before any work is approved — you stay in control of costs.

"What if it sits vacant for months?"

An empty house costs you money every day. You need rent coming in, not a mortgage going out with no income to offset it.

→ Our average vacancy rate is 4.6% for single-family homes — well below the OKC market average. We market your property on 30+ rental platforms.

"What if I get a bad tenant and can't evict them?"

Oklahoma eviction laws are complicated. One wrong step and you’re stuck with a non-paying tenant for months.

→ We screen every applicant with credit checks, income verification (3x rent minimum), criminal background, and landlord references. And if it ever comes to eviction, we handle it.

WHY TRUST ME WITH YOUR HOME

I’m an OKC Rental Owner Too, I Know Exactly What’s at Stake

I didn’t start out as a Property Manager. I started as a nervous real estate investor with one house and a lot of questions. Honestly? I didn't know what I was doing and I felt the weight of every repair and every empty month. Today, I own 66 rental properties across the OKC metro. I built OKC Home Realty Services to be the partner I wish I’d had when I was starting out: someone who understands that this isn't just a "unit," it’s your financial future. When my team manages your home, we treat it like one of my own. You get the benefit of the same vendors, the same screening processes, and the same local expertise I use for my personal portfolio.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Everything You Want to Know Before Getting Started

How can you get maintenance and repairs done on your OKC rental property?

You can hire a handyman or contractors to do this if you have connections. If not, OKC Home Realty Services has maintenance technicians on staff with the training to handle most home repairs and maintenance. The hourly rate is about 30% less than the market average. We also have a wide array of contractors with whom we’ve developed long-term work relationships.

How can you get your OKC house ready to rent?

It depends on how old your house is, how long it’s been since it was updated, and how well the property has been kept up. You may have to make some simple improvements like replacing the carpet and painting it. Or, you may just have to get a good deep cleaning crew to clean the property. I’ve written a more comprehensive article about making your OKC property ready to rent.

How can you find a tenant for your OKC rental property?

The best way to locate tenants for your OKC rental property is to advertise on the right websites and place a rent sign in the yard. And follow up. That means answering calls and setting up tour visiting.

How do you know if your OKC rental property will be profitable?

It’s very important that your property has a positive cash flow. That is, the income (rent) is greater than all the monthly expenses. Monthly expenses include mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and management fees. To determine if your rental property will have a positive cash flow, refer to this article.

How can you be confident that you’ll get a good tenant for your OKC rental property?

Two words: Tenant Screening. Past behavior almost always predicts future behavior. It’s very important to get income verification; OKC Home Realty requires that the take-home pay of our tenants is at least three times the rent. It’s also important to check credit, get a landlord verification, and do a criminal background check. So how do you use all this information together to make a decision about a tenant? That’s what OKC Home Realty does on your behalf. That’s our job.

What if my tenant stops paying rent?

If the tenant stops paying the rent, you may have to evict them from the property. The key to doing any successful eviction is following procedures. There is an excellent article about eviction laws in Oklahoma and how they work.
