Who Location Properties Works For

You own rentals here and want them run professionally: market-rate rents, low vacancy, maintained properties, and clean monthly statements. Bryan's brokerage side also means acquisition and disposition advice from someone who knows what your property is worth both as a rental and as a sale.
Out-of-Town & Out-of-State Owners
Everything a rental needs, handled in Lawrence: showings, screening, rent, repairs, and inspections. You get the income and the reporting without managing contractors from three time zones away.
KU Parents
Bought a home for your student? Location Properties can fill the extra bedrooms with screened roommate tenants now and manage the property as a full rental after graduation, a common and often profitable Lawrence strategy.
Accidental Landlords
Inherited a property, relocated for work, or couldn't sell at the price you wanted? Renting it out can be the right move, and management makes it hands-off. Bryan can also run the numbers on renting versus selling so you choose with real data.

Property Management FAQs, Lawrence, Kansas
What does property management cost in Lawrence, KS?
Management fees depend on the property type, number of units, and services you need, and everything is agreed in writing before any work begins. Contact Location Properties through HomesForLease.org or reach out to Bryan directly for a quote on your specific property, there's no obligation.
What types of properties does Location Properties manage?
Houses, townhomes, condos, duplexes, and multi-family properties across Lawrence and Douglas County. Whether it's a single rental house or a portfolio, the same local team handles leasing, tenants, and maintenance.
I live out of state. Can you handle everything?
Yes, that's one of the most common situations Location Properties serves, including KU parents who bought a home for a student and kept it as a rental, and out-of-state investors in the Lawrence market. Marketing, showings, screening, rent, maintenance, and accounting are all handled locally; you get statements and disbursements without needing to set foot in Kansas.
How do you find and screen tenants in a college town?
Lawrence's rental demand is strong year-round, but the KU calendar shapes it, timing a vacancy to the leasing season matters. Every applicant goes through credit, background, income, and rental-history screening applied consistently and in compliance with Fair Housing law. Good screening up front is the single biggest driver of a low-stress rental.
I'm thinking about buying a rental property. Can Bryan help with both sides?
Yes, and that combination is the point. Bryan is a real estate broker who helps investors buy the right rental (the numbers, the location, the tenant demand), and Location Properties then manages it. You get acquisition advice from someone who knows exactly what Lawrence properties rent for, because his company manages them.
