OUR COMPETITIVE EDGE

Three Advantages Your PM Doesn't Have

90-Day Turnover System

The Problem: Most PMs start searching after tenants give notice. That's already too late. We start 90 days before.

90 Days Out:

Confirm tenant status. Know early if vacancy is coming.

60 Days Out:

Launch professional marketing. 2 months to find qualified tenants.

30 Days Out:

Pre-schedule vendors. Move-in ready in ~7 days.

Result: 7-day turnover vs. 37-day market average. That's 30 extra days of rent.

4-Month Tenant Placement Guarantee

We stand behind our work. If your tenant leaves within 4 months for ANY reason, we replace them free.

"This shifts the risk from you to us. No more surprises. No more worry about tenant turnover."

Covers: Job loss, relocation, personal circumstances—any reason. Even re-replacements within the 4-month window.

Quarterly Inspections + Strategic Rent Growth

Reactive maintenance costs 25-30% more. We conduct quarterly inspections, catch issues early, and recommend improvements that increase rent.

Our owners average $125/unit rent increase from strategic upgrades and professional presentation. That's thousands per year in extra revenue.

THE FOUNDER

Built by an Owner. Managed Like It's Ours.

Grassroots wasn't built from a corporate playbook. It was built from experience managing a 12-unit property that hit 87% vacancy.

Within 6 months: 87% vacancy → 8% vacancy. $125/unit rent increase. 7-day turnarounds. That's when I realized I had to offer this system to other landlords.

Today: Micah owns 83 units and manages 72 units across Des Moines metro. Every property he manages gets the same systems he uses on his own. He's not a hired gun—he's a working investor with skin in the game.
