What the flat $149 covers
Management here is one flat $149 a month, whatever the rent — never a percentage of it. The fee is taken only from rent collected, so an empty unit carries no management fee while it sits. Leasing and renewals are separate one-time fees, and Emily explains both in your free quote, in writing, before you commit to anything.
There is no setup or onboarding fee, no marketing or advertising fee, no inspection fee, and repairs are billed at vendor cost with no markup. There is no long-term contract either: an owner who leaves gets the files, keys and the tenant relationship handed over cleanly.

Temple Terrace is not a generic Tampa suburb
The city was incorporated in 1925 and is a Tree City USA. It was planned in the 1920s as a Mediterranean-Revival golf course community — one of the first of its kind in the United States — and its renewal took place between 1984 and 1987. A rent estimate here starts from real comparable rentals rather than a citywide formula.
The Hillsborough River flows through the eastern and southern parts of the city and forms some of its southern boundary. Riverhills Park contains a historic marker and a replica of the cross erected to honor St. Theresa. Florida College, a private liberal arts college founded in 1946, occupies some of the community's oldest buildings. Immediately to the west, the neighborhood of Temple Crest hugs the river.
If your rental is an older house near the college or a property close to the river, request your free quote and Emily will work through that property's specifics with you rather than quoting from a citywide average.
Where the city sits, and what's around it
Temple Terrace is a city in northeastern Hillsborough County, adjacent to Tampa, and part of the Tampa–St. Petersburg–Clearwater Metropolitan Statistical Area. Tampa bounds it to the west and north, Del Rio to the south, and rural Hillsborough County near Interstate 75 to the east.
BayTown manages residential rentals throughout Hillsborough and Pasco counties, so a Temple Terrace property and a Pasco property can sit under one manager.
Leasing a vacancy, then running the tenancy
Leasing is its own project, priced separately from the monthly fee, and Emily goes over that arrangement in your free quote. The work runs from pricing through keys:
Once a tenant is in place, the monthly services above take over. Emily personally carries the properties she manages and replies personally, usually right away.
- Pricing from real comparable rentals
- Marketing the vacancy where renters look
- Showings and applications
- Financial checks and reference verification on every applicant
- Lease, move-in and keys
Owner notes for Temple Terrace rentals
Leasing to students is a real decision here. If you are weighing leasing to students, consider the trade-off: a student lease tends to follow the academic calendar and can leave gaps between terms, while a standard twelve-month lease keeps one steady cycle. Tell Emily which way you lean and she will price and market the home for that tenant.
Deed restrictions and HOAs: if the home sits inside an association, its governing documents decide whether you may lease, the minimum lease term and any approval step, and Florida Statutes Chapter 720 is the law that governs most homeowners' associations. Approval steps and timing differ by association, so get the process in writing before you list the home.
Flood and insurance: the Hillsborough River flows through the eastern and southern parts of Temple Terrace. Check your address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and ask your insurer whether a landlord policy and a separate flood policy fit the property; flood damage is generally not covered by a standard property policy.
Property types: we manage residential rentals, and the right tenant, lease length and rent depend on the specific house, which is why the free quote starts from comparable rentals for your address.
What the free quote includes
The quote is free and carries no obligation. It covers what your Temple Terrace property should rent for based on real comparable rentals, every fee in writing, and plain answers on management, leasing and renewals — including how a flat fee compares with a percentage for your situation.
Request your free quote when you're ready, whether you're self-managing a house near Florida College, holding a duplex near the river, or switching from another manager. No management fee is charged until rent is collected.
