Disaster assessors, often referred to as inspectors, play a critical role after hurricanes, earthquakes, large fires and other natural disasters. Their role is an integral part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Individual and Households Program (IHP) Field Services Contract that provides emergency grants for property owners impacted by natural disasters. Between 2018 and 2021, the federal agency authorized home inspections for 1.4 million applicants.  

When it comes to services like inspections, tenant turns, lawn care and pool maintenance, are you better off managing these services in-house or outsourcing them for your single-family rental (SFR) properties?  

When a top SFR operator needed a customized electrical inspections solution for their newly acquired assets—and they needed it fast—they looked to MCS for help. MCS was able to act as an extension of their organization to deliver a timely solution that met their needs.

When a top single-family rental (SFR) operator sought to shift from multiple vendors for their vacant-home construction projects to just a few national partners, they looked to MCS to help them consolidate.

Maximizing your return on your SFR investment requires keeping costs in check; and needing to replace appliances and other systems prematurely can put a dent in your bottom line.
