    Almost a decade ago, we, at Poplar Homes, began with a simple idea: design a platform to help college students find affordable housing. A few years and ~15,000 doors later, we’ve enhanced our platform and added more experts to the team to better serve the homeowners and renters who trust us. 

    Now tried and true in 15 states, we’re thrilled to announce that we’re bringing our services to Nashville, Tennessee! This development is a momentous milestone for us, and one that represents our mission to use our nationwide tools and infrastructure to help local homeowners and renters. 

     

     

    Why Nashville?

     

    Tennessee’s largest city not only brings country music, hot chicken, and the Titans to the state, but is also a market showing promising growth recently. Our launch in this capital city coincides with the uptick of out-of-state renters moving in from nearby metros. With Nashville’s lower cost of living and low unemployment rates, this trend comes as no surprise. The city even ranks 5th in Zillow’s prediction of the Hottest Real Estate Markets in 2023.

     

    As Nashville continues to attract out-of-state renters and investors, Poplar is well-positioned to serve their needs in 2023.

     

     

     

    How Poplar Homes Nashville aims to transform the rental experience

     

    Here’s what homeowners can expect with Poplar Homes Nashville’s gold standard of property management.

     

     

    Easily track your rental’s performance with Poplar’s powerful platform

    Poplar is continuously enhancing our tech platform to address the changing needs of property owners. Our Owner Dashboard allows owners to monitor how their rentals are performing, no matter where they are. With our tech, routine tasks such as collecting rent, approving rental applications, and reviewing lease agreements, only takes a few clicks.

    Now, independent owners in Nashville can confidently grow their businesses from a centralized online platform and do away with antiquated processes.

    Simplify and expedite maintenance work  

    Our Owner Dashboard and our local teams work hand-in-hand when it comes to resolving maintenance issues. From their Dashboard, owners can track the status of repair tickets they’ve submitted and monitor the progress of their requests. 

    Meanwhile, Poplar’s Maintenance Team comprises experts who are knowledgeable about the area and can quickly respond to any issues. 

    Our 24/7 maintenance support also ensures that our team resolves any urgent repairs before they become full-blown emergencies. 

     

     

    Simplify and expedite maintenance work 

    We recognize that managing rental properties, like any other business, involves inherent risks that must be proactively addressed. For this reason, we’ve specifically designed and developed Poplar’s rent guarantee and eviction coverage to address these risks.

    With rent guarantee up their sleeve, owners can avoid the trouble of chasing down late rent. We’ll make sure that your hard-earned payment lands in your bank account every month. We also stand by the qualified renters that we place in your properties. In the rare instance that we have to pursue an eviction, we’ll cover up to $15,000 of the legal expenses.

    We’re hopeful that with these features, Poplar Homes Nashville will be able to help local and independent investors maximize their revenue and portfolios. Aligned with this goal, Poplar is also committed to upgrading the rental experience on the other side of the transaction.

     

    Minimize the risks of running a rental business

    Poplar’s all-in-one management services also cover the common issues that residents typically encounter throughout each phase of their rental home journey. 

    At the beginning of their home search, prospective applicants can rely on Poplar’s tech to simplify the process of finding their dream rental. We provide high-quality photos, 3D scans, and a contactless tour option, which can be especially helpful for out-of-state residents planning to relocate. Our dedicated team of local fielders also ensures that each Poplar Homes listing is safe and habitable.

    During their lease, renters can pay rent and submit maintenance requests through our proprietary Resident Dashboard.

    Making real estate investment accessible for all is a tenet of Poplar Homes. We’ve created a program to help make homeownership accessible for our renters. Our one-of-a-kind program, Streetcred, allows Poplar residents to save up credits each time they make a rent payment. Renters can track their credits through their dashboard and eventually use these to purchase a home, providing valuable support to first-time homebuyers in Nashville.
