Protect your property.
Maximize your returns.

We actively manage properties across five core counties: Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, and Manatee. We're expanding statewide across all 67 Florida counties. If you own property elsewhere in Florida, reach out — we may already have coverage in your area or can get it set up quickly.

Absolutely. With 23+ years in Florida real estate, we can run rental income projections, evaluate cash flow scenarios, and help you find properties that actually pencil out. We'll have a make-ready punch list at closing so your property hits the market fast.

This is where we're different. Best Bay Services is our in-house maintenance team — no third-party markups, faster response times, and work we stand behind. For repairs over your approved threshold, we call you first. Emergency repairs are handled immediately to protect your property.

Over 70% of renters have pets. Properties that accept pets rent faster, command higher rents, and have shorter vacancies. We screen pets thoroughly and use security deposits plus our damage protection plan to cover any issues.

Rent is deposited directly to your bank account on the last business day of each month. The amount reflects rent collected minus management fees and any approved expenses like repairs or lawn care.

As much or as little as you want. You'll get a monthly owner report with all financials and service tickets. We handle everything day-to-day — you only hear from us for big decisions or if we need approval on a major repair.

We price aggressively but smart — high enough to maximize your return, realistic enough to avoid costly vacancy. We'll run a free competitive market analysis for your property. Just reach out.

Criminal background check, credit pull, employment and income verification, rental history from past landlords, debt-to-income analysis, and identity fraud detection. Applicants who don't fully meet criteria may be conditionally approved with a higher security deposit.

Of course. We work with any timeline. When you're ready, our sales team handles the listing with the same market knowledge we use to manage your property. We know every inch of it — that's a selling advantage.

We offer a tenant placement service — marketing, screening, and lease execution for a one-time fee. You handle management, we find you the right tenant.

Yes. All expenses related to the rental property — management fees, repairs, maintenance, insurance, property taxes — are typically tax-deductible. Consult your tax professional for specific advice.

We screen carefully to prevent it, but when evictions are necessary, we handle the filing on your behalf. In most cases, you won't need to appear in court. Court costs and attorney fees are charged to your account as incurred.
