Why Choose Fifth Principle Properties as your Columbus Property Manager

Our Advantages

Why Choose Fifth Principle Properties

  • Local leasing + operations focus. Not part-time property management.

  • We run leasing like a pipeline: market-driven pricing, fast showing cadence, and strict screening.

  • We reduce vacancy by pricing to the market, not your mortgage. (The market does not care about your feelings.)

  • We coordinate maintenance through a strong vendor network with controlled standards, documented approvals, and clear timelines.

  • Translation: fewer dead days, fewer “mystery invoices,” more predictability.

  • Clear communication, clean documentation, zero surprises.

  • Radically transparent reporting so you always know what’s happening and why.

  • We treat your home like it’s ours, but with better documentation: photos, inspection notes, and decision logs.

  • Data-driven decisions to protect returns: rent comps, turn-cost tracking, and preventative maintenance planning.

  • Systems-first operations so nothing gets missed.

  • Tech-enabled communication so tenant issues are logged, tracked, and routed properly.

  • Inspection documentation with photos and notes (the stuff that saves you during disputes).

  • 24/7 support tools to route urgent issues and reduce response time without blowing up your phone.

  • Translation: fewer dropped balls, faster resolutions, cleaner records.

  • We put it in writing.

  • We use written service guarantees tied to the things owners actually care about:

    • Responsiveness
    • Leasing performance
    • Communication standards
    • Reporting consistency

  • If we miss the standard, you don’t get a shrug. You get accountability.
