Comprehensive Property Inspections+
Professional inspections of your property both inside and out are beneficial to ensure tenants comply with the terms of their lease and to assess property conditions. Our team will typically conduct move-in, periodic, and move-out inspections. Documentation and photographs from these inspections assists in determining needed maintenance and repairs to maintain your home’s value and avoid more costly repairs if left unattended. Inspections also assist in resolving tenant issues that may potentially arise in the future.
Preventative Maintenance+
We believe consistent and thorough attention to your investment is one key to an asset’s performance.

Edwards Real Estate Investments
Although no one can predict the future, The Edwards Companies and its affiliate Edwards Capital Partners are committed to the belief that real estate, as an asset class is an excellent short or long-term investment. We believe that real estate offers a one-of-a-kind investment advantage of portfolio diversification with investments that… 1) provide monthly income and cash flow; 2) can be leveraged as needed over time; and 3) produce equity over the long term through steady appreciation and debt pay down if loans are applicable. When acquired, redeveloped, and managed efficiently, the owners of investment real estate will build wealth that can be counted on well into the future. No matter if your preferred interest is a short-term “flip” or long-term “buy-and-hold” strategy, The Edwards Companies and Edwards Capital Partners are ready to partner with you.
