A dead camera or thermostat battery usually shows up right when you need it most.
Property watch for Austin owners
Your rental house mini-manager.
We started this as East Austin Airbnb owners who needed someone reliable to walk the house, handle the little stuff, and tell us what was going on. Now we're building that service for other Austin owners, too.

✓Built by local owners
Our own rental houses showed us the gap between doing nothing and hiring a full property manager.

Small things get expensive when no one's there.
A vacant home can look perfectly fine from the sidewalk while little problems stack up inside. Your mini-manager gives it a proper walk-through, not just a drive-by.

Mail tells on you
Packages and an overstuffed mailbox are a pretty clear sign that nobody is home.
03
A drip becomes a bill
A small leak is manageable on day one. A few weeks later, it can be a much bigger job.
Your mini-manager in three steps.
No long intake maze. We learn the house, agree on what matters to you, and keep you in the loop every time we stop by.
Message us
Send a note on WhatsApp with the neighborhood and what you need watched.
Set up the house
We do a walk-through together, in person or by video call, and set up a lockbox at the property.
Get your reports
We stop by two or three times a month and send a clear photo report after every visit.
Pick your level of mini-management.
Every visit includes a full walk-through, a photo report, mail collection, and small fixes. You only pay for parts when something needs replacing.

Good questions before you hand over access.
We'd ask them too.
Your key stays in a lockbox at the property. Codes are never shared or copied.
No, and that's the point. Mini-manager means check-ins, photo reports, and small fixes. We do not lease your property, manage tenants, collect rent, or take a percentage. We are the simpler layer between doing nothing and hiring full property management.
If we learn about an urgent issue like water or a break-in, we call you right away. This is a scheduled check-in service, not insurance or 24-hour monitoring.
No. A lockbox plus a video walk-through works well if you're already out of town.
Small stuff, yes. We can change batteries and bulbs, charge a camera, or reset a plug, with parts billed at cost. For anything bigger, we flag it with photos and can coordinate a vendor you choose.
Why we started
We own Airbnbs in East Austin, and we kept running into the same gap. We didn't need a full-time property manager. We needed a mini-manager: someone reliable to walk the house, charge the Ring, change a battery, grab the mail, and tell us what they saw. So we built the straightforward service we wished we'd had.
Put a mini-manager on your rental house.
Send the neighborhood, how often you're away, and the little things you worry about. We'll tell you if we're a good fit.
