This review is from the perspective of a tenant…read more I rented through Baywood Capital for a couple of years. Working with Josh and his team has been nothing short of a pleasure. The way that they handle property management in the interest of the landlord and the renter is nothing short of an impressive juggling act. Quick to communicate, remediate any issue, as well as a pleasure to interact with -- I would without hesitation consider them and their team of consummate professionals for any of my future rental, or investment property management endeavors.

I trusted Josh and honestly was betrayed…read more He was the first property manager I've hired and he didn't manage. All he did was collect rent and via email communicate one lease extension and then they went month to month on two plus years. I don't believe he ever checked on the condition of my property or if the lease terms were being followed. I know of two flagrant violations 1) no animals and a cat lived there the entire term of the lease openly and 2) no smoking which is also a Belmont City Ordinance. I was told they are "good tenants" which they were from a bill collectors perspective, however, horrible from a property owners perspective as they lived hard and the wear and tear on the unit was unacceptable including pot smoke lingering and making the unit filthy. Then there was the cat leaving animal mess behind when they vacated. I learned there was a leak on October 12, 2024 not by a phone call or direct message but being included on an email chain with the tenants! How unprofessional and this violated the entire principle of a property manager only having contact with tenants and what he was paid to do. From the discovery of the first problem I am aware of Josh was absolutely no help. He didn't manage the situation. Instead it was on. On me to deal with and coordinate access with the tenants to first get a leak detector in. He didn't offer any help. Left me high and dry! When I went to meet the leak detector I was appalled at the condition of my condo that had been fully renovated prior to the tenants. It was grimy and there was cat stuff everywhere and the cat walked up to me even to be petted. I called Josh very upset especially about the cat as my main point was no animals and this was not a service animal. He said they have forfeited their deposit by having the cat. When the tenants vacated , after asking for one more day, which we declined as I had set up - not buy the property manager, but myself Service Master and my insurance adjuster to meet me to start to deal with the leak from upstairs (from different condo owner) and repairs. When he showed up he said it wasn't bad ... They turned off the water days before vacating and left feces and urine in toilets, food on kitchen sink, tons of stuff in the garage , the floors where sticky from a party , the hall bath covered in hair - not sure if human or cat, tacks and tape everywhere on the walls , the new kitchen counters stained .... A drawer with pot debris. While the Farmers adjusters and Service Master there never once did he say I will coordinate as it's my job as property manager. We did agree for his guy- also there to haul away abandoned items - which wasn't even thorough. I had to ask him to return to complete. Then no phone call he emails me he is firing me. A blessing. But very unprofessional. Then he sent me my accounting the first of the year via email without salutation or closing with one word "okay"? In pulling together paperwork for insurance I realized I didn't have a copy of the one lease renewal. I emailed Josh for it ... waited 5 days later forwarded email to him with bookkeeper and maintenance guy with "second request" to finally receive. In interviewing and hiring a new property manager I realized I was not provided any service. I SHOULD RECEIVED A REFUND ACTUALLY!!! There should have been physical check ins on the property and its condition. The notification of a leak - major problem that took 5 months to remediate and repair - should have been handled by him as that is what his fee was for. After the tenants moved out he changed his tune on the deposit. He was advocating for them after telling me it was forfeited due to the cat - not to mention property condition from their hard aggressive living- that most of it needed to be returned. He kept saying the condition wasn't that bad. He was not advocating for my property but only the tenants. Swept under the rug the excessive wear and tear , damage , pot smoking and cat living there. Ironically one of those tenants now manages an apartment building. I'm sure her employer would find interesting photos of how my property was vacated.

Someone (don't want to name names coz I don't want to ding them personally) promptly answered the call and I excitedly explained how I'm looking to rent out our house - the person on the other end said, "it's close to 8pm on a weekday, I'm with my family, let's schedule another time... it's the nature of my job to answer the call so I did". I 100% respect a person's family time but either fix the listed hours on review sites or send me to voicemail or lastly teach politeness to your employees, otherwise it leaves a sour taste in your mouth, doesn't it?

After move-in, we were a big stuck on what to do and how to get our home rented out. We connected with RentWise and they put us at ease. Everything moved so fast, from the moment we got off the call, things just started happened, photographers showed up and took professional pictures (after we had the place cleaned) and made a map layout of the property (got the files the that same evening). By the next morning, our home was already listed and advertised (i think it was 22 outlets that RentWise marketed the home to). Within 48 hours we had ~30 contacts. RentWise showed the home to 5 lovely couples/families that weekend and 3 qualified applicants for us to chose from a couple days after. All-in all, the process took a little over a week. I cannot believe how fast we got qualified applicants and a lease executed. They are worth every penny (it probably would've taken me a month) not to mention they got us 10% more than the top end of my expectation. My first experience with RentWise, will update the review if anything changes during the length of the relationship. Thank you again RentWise!
