Linda had spent years feeling uncomfortable in her own home. Sharing her space with four roommates and their three dogs left her longing for peace and independence. She knew her property was valuable as a rental, but the thought of converting it into a rental property felt overwhelming. With no idea where to begin, Linda faced a mix of objections—concerns about high costs, uncertainty about potential rental income, and a fear of losing control over who would live in her home.

When Linda connected with Foothill Property Management, the team listened carefully to her concerns and laid out a clear plan. They conducted a property evaluation, detailing exactly how much rental income she could expect. They also explained the seamless process of converting her home into a rental while addressing her control concerns by letting her set parameters for tenant selection and maintenance expenses.

One year later, Linda’s life has transformed. Her property now generates enough income to fund her dream of traveling the world. She enjoys the reassurance of knowing she can return to her home anytime she needs, but for now, she’s relishing the freedom her new lifestyle affords.
Her experience with Foothill PM left such a strong impression that she referred several friends, all of whom are now satisfied clients. Linda has traded the chaos of shared living for financial independence and global adventures, all while maintaining peace of mind.
