Why Hire a Property Manager in Orange County?
Professional property management in Orange County typically costs 6–8% of monthly rent. This fee covers the entire rental lifecycle—from marketing and tenant screening to rent collection and 24/7 maintenance. Crucially, a local manager ensures strict compliance with California laws like AB 1482 (Rent Control) and SB 721, protecting you from costly liabilities. By minimizing vacancies and optimizing rates, our service often pays for itself while removing the daily stress of landlording.

Owning rental property in Orange County is Profitable and Smart
Orange County is a great place for real estate investments. High demand, good weather and a booming economy, combined with limited new construction, results in high rental prices and low vacancies. While the high cost of entry is high, the potential for passive income, tax benefits, and long-term value growth make Orange County rental properties a great investment opportunity.
According to Census.gov, Orange County’s renter population is 43.5%. In comparison, the national average is 34.2%. With such a large renter population, you can expect a high demand for rental properties. In fact, a report by RentCafe found that Orange County has an occupancy rate of 95.7% and, on average, vacant properties have 13 competing renters at any given time. With only 0.23% of new housing construction, there are not enough homes to satisfy renters. On average, vacant properties are filled within only 40 days in Orange County.
Orange County has many desirable neighborhoods. For those looking for the perfect beach home, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, and Newport Beach offer the perfect luxury living. On the more casual end, Huntington Beach embodies the classic California surf culture. For those looking to be close to education, Irvine and Fullerton are both homes of California Universities (UC Irvine and Fullerton, respectively). Other great suburban neighborhoods include Anaheim, Brea, Buena Park, Costa Mesa, San Clemente, Tustin, and Westminster.
Rent prices in Orange County tend to be some of the highest in the nation. One bedrooms tend to rent for $2,200. Two bedrooms will be closed to $3,000-$4,000. You’ll see prices rise near the coast and universities. Owning rental property can be a lot easier when using a rental management company. If you’re in search of a reliable Orange County property management company, schedule a call with us.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does your Orange County property management service include?
We provide full-service rental property management: pricing guidance, marketing, showings, tenant screening, leasing, rent collection, maintenance coordination, tenant support, reporting, inspections, renewals, and move-out management.
What types of rentals do you manage in Orange County?
We manage single-family homes, condos/townhomes, 2–4 unit properties, and multifamily properties (5–15 units) across Orange County.
Where are you located?
We have a San Diego office, Riverside office, and Orange County office in California. Our Orange County office is in Irvine. The address is 15615 Alton Parkway, Suite 450, Irvine, CA 92618. CA DRE License: #01929564.
How do you market my rental property?
We use high-quality photos and 3D virtual tours and syndicate listings across 50+ major rental sites to generate strong tenant demand.
How do showings work?
We offer secure self-access showings so prospects can view the home 7 days a week (8 a.m.–8 p.m.), which helps reduce vacancy time while keeping the process controlled and documented.
Do I get to choose the tenant?
To stay compliant with fair housing requirements, Good Life is responsible for tenant selection using a consistent screening process—keeping the leasing process hands-off for owners and reducing legal risk.
What screening do you do for applicants?
We run a standardized screening process (including pets when applicable) and verify requirements like renter’s insurance, then execute the lease and move-in documentation.
When do I receive rent payouts?
We use full-month accounting and send owner disbursements at the end of each month for the month-in-arrears, typically received by the 5th depending on your bank, along with a detailed owner statement.
How is maintenance handled, and when do you ask for approval?
We coordinate maintenance with a trusted network of vendors. If a repair is $500 or less, we handle it promptly and notify you; repairs over $500 require your approval in advance, with invoices documented in your monthly statement.
Do you do inspections?
Yes—move-in and move-out inspections are performed with reports/photos, and we also offer an annual inspection to document condition and identify issues early (including items like smoke/CO alarms, visible leaks, HVAC filter checks, and photos).
Do I have to allow pets?
It’s your decision, but we typically recommend allowing pets because a large portion of renters have them. If you allow pets, you’re also covered by your protection plan for certain pet-related damages above the deposit (up to the stated limit).
Can I use my own vendors?
While the property is vacant, you can use your vendors. Once occupied, we generally use our vetted vendor network to maintain consistency, safety, and accountability for tenants and owners.
Do you work with out-of-state owners?
Yes. California may require state tax withholding for non-resident owners unless an exemption/waiver applies, and we offer compliance support to help keep you aligned with the requirement.
What are your fees?
Management fees vary by property type (for example, 8% for houses/condos/2–4 units and 6% for 5–15 unit multifamily), with separate leasing/inspection/renewal and compliance fees as applicable. We aim for clear, transparent pricing with no surprises.
