The difference

Most managers guess. We measure.

Every rent number, every repair decision, every renewal — backed by data you can see, not a gut feeling you can't.

The legacy way

  • Rent set by "what the last tenant paid"
  • Fees hidden until the sales meeting
  • Maintenance marked up 10–20%
  • Quarterly PDF reports, if any
  • No idea what your asset is actually worth

The Kirin way

  • Rent set by a 40+ point comparative analysis
  • Fees published on the website — 9–11%
  • In-house crew, repairs at cost, no markup
  • Real-time owner portal & monthly reporting
  • Live NOI & value tracking on every unit
Built for both ends of the market

One platform. Two kinds of owner.

Whether you own a single duplex or a fifty-unit portfolio, you get the same analytics — scaled to what you need.

01 · OWNERS — 1 TO 5 UNITS

Stop leaving money on the table.

You didn't sign up to be a 2 a.m. plumber. We handle the placement, the rent, the repairs — and make sure you're not underpricing by $100–$300 a month that you can never claw back under the rent cap.

  • Free comparative market analysis to start
  • Professional listings across 20+ channels
  • In-house maintenance, no markup

02 · PORTFOLIO — 5+ UNITS

Management that speaks your language.

Real-time dashboards, NOI tracking, and rent optimization modelled across your whole portfolio — before you make a move. Standardized operations whether you own five units or fifty.

  • Owner portal with live financials
  • Portfolio-wide rent optimization reviews
  • Volume pricing — 10% at 3+ units

Transparent pricing

The fee is on the website. On purpose.

Most Halifax managers won't quote you until you're in the room. We publish ours — 9% Core, 10–11% Premium, no maintenance markups, no surprise invoices. Run your own numbers, then decide.

  • No hidden administrative or inspection fees
  • You only pay the management fee when rent is collected
  • 10% Premium rate for portfolios of 3+ units
