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.

With over 18 years of hands-on property management experience, I have successfully managed a diverse portfolio that includes single-family homes, multi-unit properties, luxury residences, and short-term rentals such as Airbnb. My experience spans both long-term and short-term rental strategies, allowing me to tailor management approaches based on each property’s unique goals—whether that means stable tenancy, premium positioning, or high-yield short-term performance. On the long-term management side, I have overseen tenant screening, leasing, rent collection, lease enforcement, maintenance coordination, vendor management, budgeting, and owner reporting. I have managed multi-unit properties requiring consistent oversight, coordination of shared systems, and proactive maintenance planning to reduce long-term costs and vacancy. For single-family homes, I focus on protecting asset value through preventative maintenance, clear communication, and tenant retention strategies. In the luxury and short-term rental space, my experience includes launching, managing, and optimizing Airbnb and vacation rental properties from the ground up. This includes furnishing and setup, pricing strategy, calendar management, guest communication, cleaning coordination, and quality control. I understand how to balance five-star guest experiences with operational efficiency, ensuring properties perform at a high level while remaining compliant with local regulations and HOA requirements. For luxury properties, attention to detail, discretion, and elevated service are central to every decision. Supporting this work is a dedicated and highly reliable team of professionals who allow us to deliver consistent, responsive, and scalable service. My team includes licensed real estate professionals, experienced property managers, trusted maintenance vendors, cleaners, and administrative support. Each team member plays a critical role in ensuring properties are cared for promptly and professionally. For example, when maintenance issues arise, our vetted vendor network allows us to respond quickly, resolve problems efficiently, and control costs, minimizing disruption for tenants and guests. Our administrative systems ensure accurate accounting, transparent owner reporting, and timely communication, while our on-the-ground support teams handle turnovers, inspections, and ongoing property care. This team-based approach means owners are not relying on a single point of contact but on a coordinated operation designed to protect and enhance their investment. Together, my experience and my team’s support create a full-service property management solution rooted in accountability, proactive care, and performance-driven strategy. Whether managing a single home, a multi-unit investment, or a luxury short-term rental, our goal is always the same: to protect the property, maximize returns, and provide peace of mind to owners. Property management isn’t just about oversight—it’s about strategy, systems, and people. That’s the difference my team and I bring to every property we manage.

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.
