The Anchor Rental Program.
Monthly maintenance and documentation for owners of one to four unit rental properties who live somewhere other than the property. The same scoped monthly visit as the Anchor Plan, tuned for a rental: tenant liaison for maintenance requests, turn documentation, and a consolidated dated record of each unit. Per-unit monthly pricing, with volume pricing at three or more units.
The small-portfolio landlord who lives somewhere else.
The Rental Program is not a property-management service. It does not handle leasing, rent collection, eviction, or accounting. It is the maintenance-and-documentation layer that sits underneath whatever property-management arrangement the owner already has, or under a direct-owner arrangement with no property manager at all.
It is built specifically for owners of one to four rental units who live somewhere other than the property, and who want one trusted team attending to each unit every month, telling them the truth when something is off, documenting the condition end-to-end, and coordinating a specialist when one is required.
Every month, per unit.
Monthly property review
Exterior envelope, roof visual, gutters, drainage, tenant-accessible interior systems (with notice), common areas, basement and utility areas, yard-to-structure interface. Same route, same sequence, every month.
Tenant liaison
When a tenant submits a maintenance request, Anchor is the first call. The issue is assessed, in-scope items are handled on the visit, and a specialist is coordinated when one is required. The owner receives the documented finding and a plain-language summary before being billed for anything.
Turn documentation
Move-out property review with a full baseline record. Written summary of the property condition at the turn, filed within the week. Coordination of any turn work, paint, clean, repair, through Anchor's specialist network.
Consolidated property record
A single Home Anchor record per unit: every visit's documented findings, every maintenance request, every turn, every specialist invoice. Years of compounding documentation in one place, exported on demand for insurance, sale, or dispute.
Monthly report
Plain-language written summary filed within twenty-four hours of each visit. Documented findings, anything flagged for the next visit, and any escalations that need the owner's call.
Specialist coordination
When a licensed trade is needed, roof, HVAC, plumbing beyond scope, electrical panel work, Anchor recommends a vetted specialist at a pre-negotiated rate and schedules with the tenant. The owner pays the specialist directly. The specialist's referral fee to Anchor is 100% credited back to the owner's account. Anchor earns nothing on the project.
Per-unit monthly pricing.
Flat monthly, per unit, billed on a recurring cadence. Volume pricing at three or more units reflects scheduling efficiency. Every unit pays the same published price. No per-visit charges, no trip fees. Month-to-month with thirty-day cancellation and no termination fee. Portfolios larger than four units are custom-quoted.
This is not a property-management service.
Scope, to be clear:
- Rent is not collected by Anchor. The owner's current system keeps collecting rent.
- Leasing is not handled by Anchor. Vacancy marketing, tenant screening, and lease signing are not in scope.
- Evictions are not handled by Anchor. That is a lawyer's job.
- Accounting and tax are not handled by Anchor. The photo record and the specialist invoices are delivered to the owner; the owner's accountant handles the rest.
- Anchor does not live at the property. Visits are on a monthly cadence and on request.
What Anchor does is the part that most property-management arrangements handle poorly: the monthly trusted eye on the unit, the dated documented record, the specialist coordination, and the honest report back to the owner.
Common questions.
What do you need from my tenant?
A signed access addendum (short, and the template is provided) that gives Anchor notice-of-entry rights consistent with the applicable landlord-tenant law, and a way to coordinate the monthly visit time with the tenant's schedule. Most tenants welcome the program once they understand it, an extra set of eyes on the unit works in their favor too.
What if my tenant doesn't want to cooperate?
We talk to the tenant first, explain the program, and usually resolve it in one conversation. If the tenant is firmly opposed, exterior-only visits continue and interior systems are walked only at turn or at documented request. The monthly price stays the same; the product is slightly reduced for as long as that tenant is in place.
Do you handle emergencies?
In-scope issues, yes, leaks, failed HVAC filters, shutoff-related problems, minor repairs. Out-of-scope issues are escalated to the right trade, and the work is coordinated. Guardian-level storm response is available as an add-on to Rental Program units.
Is there a turn fee?
Turn documentation itself is included in the monthly price, the photo walk, the written condition report, the coordination of turn work. Turn work performed by specialists (paint, clean, major repair) is billed directly by the specialist at a pre-negotiated rate. The specialist's referral fee to Anchor is 100% credited back to the owner's account on the next month's invoice.
Can I move a property from the Rental Program to the Anchor Plan later?
Yes. If a rental becomes owner-occupied, the property is switched to the Anchor Plan on the tier appropriate for the house. The same Home Anchor record follows along.
Do you work with property managers?
Anchor works with property managers who see the Rental Program as the maintenance-and-documentation layer and not as a competitor. That conversation is worth having upfront, and Anchor is happy to talk to your property manager directly before the program begins.

Start with a property review.
For rental properties, the first step is an on-site property review conducted with the owner, and with the tenant where possible, to scope the property and confirm fit. If Anchor is a match, the access paperwork is signed and the first monthly visit is scheduled.
