Managing a U.S. rental you own from overseas?

U.S. Property Management for Overseas Owners

If you own or are buying a U.S. rental from overseas, America Mortgages introduces you to a vetted, licensed local property manager who handles tenant placement, rent collection, maintenance, and monthly reporting on your behalf.

America Mortgages is a U.S. mortgage lender built only for non-residents. We line up the financing and the introduction. We don't manage property, and we never hold or move your rent.

Why Managing From Overseas Is Harder Than It Looks

  1. Owning a U.S. rental you never see is a time-zone problem before it's anything else. Your tenant is asleep when you're awake, and a burst pipe needs a decision now, not in eight hours.

  2. On top of that, landlord-tenant rules, deposit handling, notice periods and eviction procedure all change from state to state. And rent has to reach you with accounting you can trust, since you can't appear in a U.S. housing court yourself if something goes wrong.

What America Mortgages Arranges

We introduce you to an independent, licensed U.S. property manager in your property's market, one built, like America Mortgages, for owners who live abroad. If you're still buying, we coordinate that introduction alongside your loan, so the property is tenant-ready at or before closing. The manager works in your time zone, reachable by phone, email, WhatsApp or WeChat, not only during U.S. business hours. We can also introduce our landlord-insurance, money-transfer and tax partners, so financing, management, insurance and structuring all line up around the same property.

America Mortgages arranges the introduction. The management itself comes from an independent, licensed property manager, a separate firm that contracts with you directly.

What we don't do

We don't manage, lease or collect rent, and we never hold or move your rent or a deposit. In most U.S. states, managing property for someone else for compensation is a licensed real-estate activity, and America Mortgages is a lender and broker, not a licensed property manager. We also don't set or quote the management fee, and we don't give tax advice. Short-term and Airbnb management isn't offered through this service; it's built for long-term rentals.

Your Path From Introduction to Hands-Off Ownership

  1. Tell us about your property, or your purchase

    Where it is, whether you own it yet, and whether you need leasing, full management, or both.

  2. We introduce you to a vetted local manager

    Matched to your market and built for overseas owners. You review the scope and fees, then choose.

  3. You onboard directly with the manager

    Screening, leasing, rent collection, accounting and maintenance sit under an agreement between you and them.

  4. You own it hands-off

    Rent and monthly reporting come to you, and America Mortgages stays available for the refinance, the next purchase, or the portfolio.

What to Check Before You Appoint a Manager

What full service should include
Pricing and listing, tenant screening, a state-compliant lease, rent collection, maintenance dispatch, periodic inspections, monthly statements, and eviction filings with court representation so you never have to fly in. Leasing-only firms stop after placing the tenant.
Check the license
Managing property for someone else for compensation is a licensed real-estate activity in most states, though a few require none. Ask for it and check it.
Where your money sits
Confirm your rent and your tenant's deposit sit in a separate, reconciled trust account rather than the firm's operating funds, and ask how often it's reconciled.
Get the fees in writing
Managers usually charge a recurring fee on rent collected, often around 10 percent, plus a one-off leasing fee of about a month's rent, and sometimes a small setup fee. These are general market ranges, not America Mortgages figures. Numbers move by market and firm, so ask about renewal fees and whether anything is billed while the unit sits empty.
How you'll stay in the loop
Ask for an owner portal holding the lease, the monthly statement, inspection photos and maintenance tickets, and a real person who picks up when your daytime is their overnight. Rent arrives in dollars, so plan the currency leg too.
Non-resident experience specifically
Check they know an ITIN, holding title in an LLC and FIRPTA at sale are routine parts of the job. A manager built for overseas owners will be familiar with all of this; a purely domestic one usually isn't.

The property's own cash flow is what decides whether this works, which is also how America Mortgages underwrites the loan — see our U.S. DSCR mortgage page. Our webinar, Managing U.S. Property from Abroad, covers the day-to-day of remote ownership in full.

Common Questions About U.S. Property Management

Tell us where your property is, or where you're buying, and we'll introduce you to a vetted, licensed U.S. manager. If you need it, we'll line up the financing to match.

Speak with a specialist
Does America Mortgages manage my property itself?
No. America Mortgages is a direct lender and super-broker for non-residents. We introduce you to an independent, licensed local property manager, who provides the management and contracts with you directly.
Can I manage a U.S. rental entirely from overseas?
Yes, and that's the whole point of using a local manager. With the right manager on the ground, you can own and profit from U.S. property without setting foot in the country.
Does a U.S. property manager need to be licensed?
In most states, managing property for someone else for compensation is a licensed real-estate activity, so America Mortgages introduces you to a licensed manager. Requirements vary by state.
How does the rent reach me, and who holds my deposit?
Your manager collects the rent, holds tenant deposits in a dedicated account, and sends you regular statements. America Mortgages never holds or moves your rent.
Which states or cities do you cover?
Coverage depends on the manager we match you to, so tell us where your property is and we'll confirm. America Mortgages lends in all 50 states, but management coverage depends on the manager.
How much does U.S. property management cost?
Managers usually charge a percentage of the rent they collect, often around 10 percent, plus a one-time leasing fee of roughly up to a month's rent when a tenant is placed, and sometimes a small setup fee. The numbers vary by market and manager. America Mortgages doesn't set the fee. The manager you're introduced to gives you their current schedule and you agree it with them directly.
