Four headaches every California operator knows. Here’s how Hemlane closes them.
01
Other softwares charge additional transaction fees.
Most platforms charge per ACH payment that add up to tens of thousands a year on a 50-door portfolio. Those fees are yours.
100% of late fees back to you, $0 ACH fee.
Hemlane returns 100% of late fees and other tenant-paid fees to the property manager. ACH rent collection is $0 fee. The number on the lease is the number that lands in your account.

2 AM repair calls force you to hire a team you do not want.
Tenants don’t call about repairs during business hours. The 2 AM water heater call is real and so is the cost of dealing with it alone. Our repair coordination team picks up, troubleshoots, and dispatches so you don’t have to.
03
You are running five tools that do not talk to each other.
Five tools. Five logins. Five places where data goes missing. Most operators run their portfolio across platforms that don’t talk to each other. Hemlane replaces all of it with one login, one team in one platform.
One product, one login, one team.
Leasing, screening, listings, rent collection, maintenance coordination, delinquency tracking, and eviction support all live inside one Hemlane account, with one login, one team, and one set of state-specific workflows.

Adriana and Roberto Castillo are experienced investor advisors with a wealth of knowledge and experience in rental management. Both have their Juris Doctor degrees but more importantly have been heavily involved in rental investment management over the past 14 years. Adriana and Roberto started acquiring single family rentals in 2011 for a large private equity firm and played key roles in amassing a portfolio of 4K homes (~1B AUM) across 8 different markets in 7 difference states (CA, TX, AZ, IL, TN, FL, GA). We initially utilized local property managers in each market but as we gained scale to 3,500 homes in 2015, we built and ran a centralized investment management company, Streetlane Homes. In 2019, Streetlane Homes was acquired by Roofstock. Within Streetlane, we systemized and operationalized every aspect of the investment management cycle from acquisitions, renovations, property management, asset management, and dispositions. For property management specifically, we led teams of individuals who focused on top line revenue (resident relations / customer success, leasing, renewals, and ancillary income) and expense management (repair and maintenance, turn costs, and capital expense) decision makers. We are now offering our services and experience to select investors in the greater Bay Area to help maximize NOI (Net Operating Income) and alleviate the pain points of self management or inefficient management. We believe in building a symbiotic relationship between our residents and our investor clients. At the end of the day, while it is "our house, it becomes your home".

Local Agents For Your State
Common operator questions about running rentals on Hemlane. Each answer ties back to the state-specific workflow Hemlane runs.
You do not need a license to manage your own rental properties through Hemlane. If you manage rentals on behalf of others for compensation, your state may require a real estate broker’s license. Hemlane’s local agents are licensed professionals, so owners using the Agents service are always working with a licensed local expert.
Most states strongly recommend or require written lease agreements for all rental terms. Hemlane provides state-specific lease templates that include required disclosures and legally recognized terms which are ready to send with eSign in minutes.
Hemlane automates rent collection from end to end. Tenants pay online, and funds are deposited directly to the owner and not held in a third-party account. 100% of the rent goes directly to you. Automated reminders and late fee notices reduce manual follow-up so you get paid on time without chasing tenants.
Hemlane lets you configure automated late fees that align with your state’s legal limits. The platform sends automated reminders before rent is due and late notices after. Once the process is set-up, it runs without you having to make a single call.
