The acquisition of a property carries along a series of implicit business opportunities apart from its personal use as a private residence: remodeling and resale, traditional rental, temporary rental, among others.

The proposal anticipates the property owner’s interest in being informed of what is going on with his/her apartment and this is why reports are sent regularly. Customers may choose between a full management or a temporary rent solely management.
