At Intrigue Property Management, we have an in-depth understanding of the rental market and the rent rates of different neighborhoods.

Our tenant screening process is thorough and compliant with local and national laws. We consider tenant credit, criminal background, and rental history to determine the best tenant for your property. For more info on our specific minimum requirements, click here.
Our property managers will take immediate action to ensure your income is not affected. We'll communicate with the tenant to get them on their lease and take legal action if necessary to protect your interests.
Yes, we can provide full support in HOA-related matters, including scheduling inspections and handling fines. Our team is experienced in managing compliance and providing guidance for owners who are part of HOAs.

Rent is considered late after the 1st of each month, with reminders sent to tenants. Late fees are applied from the 5th. Additional daily late fees are possible. Exceptions are made for inherited tenants. Alternative late fee policies can be automated based on owner preferences.
Indianapolis, IN is a continually growing economy with an affordable housing market and strong rental demand. There are several resources available to help our investor clients get started, and the city continues to see consistent housing appreciation.
We don't charge anything. We refer each eviction case to our partner attorney (we still participate in providing any needed documentation and information) that charges our clients $200/hour. Most evictions end up costing our clients $300-500.
We don't support renting out portions of a shared residence. We only offer long-term leases, typically for 6 months or more. For short-term rentals, we can refer you to our expert partners. Alternatively, we can assist in leasing the property as a long-term furnished rental, allowing you to leave furniture and charge a higher rent rate.
We provide property management services for the following properties:
Single-Family Homes
Duplexes
Condominiums
Townhouses
Multi-Family Residences
Apartment Buildings
Commercial Properties, including office and retail
HOA Management for Neighborhoods
Our rate is 10% of each month's rent rate, and additional charges such as late fees, pet fees, are passed through to owners in full. If the owner has 10 units or more under Intrigue Property Management, this rate is decreased to 8%.
We coordinate all repairs and maintenance using our network of qualified vendors. Repairs & Maintenance is included in our Property Management services and is treated as a pass through expense.
We do not. Our property management fee (% of monthly rent) is only applied to 'collected rent.' When your property is not producing income for you, it isn't producing income for us either.
Our management agreements are perpetual, meaning no specific end date; Contracts can be terminated by either party without cause within 45 days notice at any time. Our goal is to keep clients happy without lengthy contracts or termination fees.
Check-ins occur as often as maintenance calls/preventative maintenance activities allow. We also perform walkthroughs during a tenant's initial move-in and when the tenant is moving out.
When we market our rentals, we syndicate them on 40+ reputable rental websites such as Zillow, Hot Pads, Trulia, etc., in addition to being marketed on intrigueindy.com and through our social media channels (FB and IG).
Nope! You don't pay anything up front for our property management or leasing services!
We manage properties in all areas in the greater Indianapolis area and surrounding suburbs–up to one hour from the city center. When in doubt, connect with our team and we can tell you if we'll be able to service your property.
We collect rent through our online, secure tenant portal, making setting up automatic payments easy. We also allow tenants to pay by mail via check or money order if they are unable to access the online tenant portal. Our property management fee of 10% (unless you have reached 10 or more units under management with us and are receiving our volume discount of 8%) will be withheld and then you receive the rest of the payout for that month.
We suggest granting us authority to handle repairs under $500 without approval for quicker resolution of minor maintenance issues. This allows you to balance involvement while minimizing urgent communications. However, you as the client have complete control to set this threshold. We work with clients who set this threshold at all different levels, including under $500 and some well above. No matter where you set this maintenance threshold, we will be in communication with any and all issues that arise at your property.
Whenever the property is ready! We can usually come out to do a property walkthrough and/or take listing photos within 24-48 hours. Ready to start onboarding? Start filling out our new client form. It takes less than 5 minutes!
Any situation where the tenant's personal safety or personal belongings are in jeopardy, or if delays in response time could cause further damage to your property. As your property manager, we act as the 24/7 point of contact for tenants and can be reached day or night when emergencies arise.
Our operations managers always work with the tenant to troubleshoot the situation, visiting the property to see if they can troubleshoot themselves, and ultimately escalate to a dedicated contractor partner, only when necessary. You do not incur any maintenance cost unless a dedicated contractor needs to get involved. We will keep you, as the property owner, informed the entire time.
