    Reasons behind expansion

     

    Poplar Homes’ recent decision to expand more in California is a result of numerous vital factors. Although the state’s population dropped by 0.29% in 2022 compared to 2021, California still has a massive population of 39,029,342. Additionally, 44% of the state’s households are renters, making it the third state with the largest share of renters, following Washington (58%) and New York (45%).

    Aside from these reasons, California also has a strong job market and significant tourism, overall creating a high demand for rentals. The Golden State continuously attracts more tenants and more investors wanting to build their rental portfolios in the area.

    Now, Poplar Homes intends to offer more homeowners and renters its innovative approach to real estate, with more locations to service through the acquisition of these three top-tier companies. The company’s expansion in California is also a strategic move to capitalize on the state’s favorable market conditions and grow its business.

     

     

    Poplar guarantees available in California

     

    With the acquisition of Rancho Plaza Realty, Action Management, and ARK HOA Management, Poplar can now offer its various services to more homeowners in the state, starting off with the Poplar Guarantees.

     

    Rent guarantee

    Poplar is offering their homeowners financial protection like nobody else in the industry. The rent guarantee ensures that homeowners are getting their payout every third business day of the month, even if the renters are a little bit delayed on their payments. This creates a steady cash flow for homeowners so they can pay attention to more important matters than following up on rent payments constantly.

     

    Eviction coverage

    In addition to the Rent Guarantee, Poplar Homes also offers Eviction Coverage for California homeowners. Although evictions of Poplar-approved renters are very rare, the company offers assistance to homeowners by covering up to $15,000 of legal fees in the unlikely event of parting ways with a renter. This added benefit provides homeowners with peace of mind, knowing that they have an extra layer of protection in place.

     

    24/7 maintenance support

    Managing your own property can take up much of your time and is such an arduous task to do. Answering late-night calls and attending to maintenance requests are just some of the few responsibilities owners have to take note of. On a good note, Poplar has 24/7 maintenance support that takes care of everything. From handling calls to actually attending to maintenance requests, Poplar covers it all.

    Aside from that, the company also provides updates on the status of each request and expense through an easy-to-navigate homeowners’ dashboard. This is to ensure that you are in the loop of everything that’s happening with your investment.

     

     

    Advantages of signing with Poplar

     

    With the acquisition of three local companies in California, Poplar can now reach more homeowners in different parts of the state. By signing with the Cupertino-based company, local owners can unlock unlimited potential for their rentals by using Poplar’s tech-enabled national tools and efficient systems. 

    And with the local knowledge of Rancho Plaza Realty, Action Management, and ARK HOA Management, Poplar has more boots on the ground now than ever that are familiar with the local scene and can help local owners maximize their property’s potential.

    Lastly, Poplar Homes has a national reach that homeowners can take advantage of. Expand your business to different areas in the country, and Poplar will be with you all throughout the journey, providing a streamlined approach that is best for specific locations you want to operate in.
