Vacant units sitting for weeks with no showings.
Surprise charges buried in your monthly report.
Tenants moving out in waves — and your manager blames “the market.”
Frequent staff turnover so nobody ever really knows your building.
So many things slipping through the cracks, you wonder if anyone’s actually paying attention.
Here’s the truth: vacancy and turnover aren’t just frustrating — they’re expensive. For a typical 10 unit building, most owners lose $25K a year from move-outs, repairs, lost rent, and leasing fees. And most of it? Preventable.

The Aluna Promise
But let’s be honest: the problem usually isn’t demand. It’s the details.
I once found a Zillow listing for my own building with three photos — one was literally a close-up of old carpet. Why? Because an automated ad-posting system spat it out, and no one bothered to check.
With so little attention-to-detail, no wonder three tenants gave notice in the same month.
That’s not the market. That’s bad management.
And here’s the kicker: according to AppFolio’s Renter Preferences Report (2023), 18% of renters move specifically to find better property management.
Translation? Tenant satisfaction isn’t “fluff.” It’s the single biggest driver of profitability in multi-family real estate.

That’s us. We lease faster, keep tenants happier, and give you the kind of financial clarity that makes your monthly reports something you want to open.
Here’s the thing most owners don’t realize: improving tenant relationships is the highest ROI you can get on your building. Higher than unit remodels. Higher than exterior facelifts. Why? Because happier tenants stay longer, which reduces turnover costs and vacancies — saving you tens of thousands every year.
At Aluna, we don’t just collect rent. We measure what matters (vacancy days, turnover costs, tenant retention).
PERFORMANCE-BASED PRICING
You’ll never find surprise charges hiding in the fine print. No markups. No nickel-and-dime fees.
24-Hour Maintenance Guarantee
Every request answered within a day, so small problems never snowball and tenants feel valued.
Pre-Move-Out Marketing
We start showings before the unit is even empty. Vacancy time? Cut in half.
Professional Photos Every Time
Because great tenants don’t come from grainy iPhone shots.
Monthly Rent Reviews
Smart adjustments to keep you competitive without chasing tenants away.
SAME-DAY OWNER RESPONSE
When you call, we answer. No layers. No assistants.
Not here. At Aluna, our model is performance-based. Our fee is tied to how well we do — because what gets measured, gets improved. That means:
You win (stronger cash flow).
Tenants win (faster service, better care).
And yes, we win (by doing our job the right way).

3 Vacancies Filled in 17 Days
This owner had 3 units sitting empty for over 50 days.
With professional marketing and pre-leasing, we filled all 3 in just 17 days — saving thousands in lost rent...
Triplex, University Heights

+$16,137 Annual Cash Flow
Rents raised on 8 units in just 90 days — and tenants were happy to stay because we handled their requests.
Cut turnover time from 41 days down to 18 for the same rental prices.
Reduced turnover costs by 53%.
Reduced maintenance costs by12%.
Most importantly, increased monthly cash flow an average of $987 per month in the first year.
12 Unit, North Park

Vacancy Filled in 5 days after sitting for 30 days
A unit sat vacant for thirty days because the listing had two terrible photos and no showings.
We re-shot it, re-listed it, and filled it in five days.
14 Unit, Normal Heights
A single move-out drains $5K–$8K once you add lost rent, repairs, and leasing fees. And here’s the kicker: most of those fees end up padding your manager’s pocket.
The worst part? Most property managers don’t even track the numbers that matter — average days vacant, annual turnover costs, or the true price tag of every empty unit.
And if nothing’s measured… nothing improves. Which means cash is quietly evaporating from your building every single month
The Bottom Line: Good leasing adds hundreds of thousands in long-term value. Bad leasing quietly bleeds $20-30k/yr on a typical 12-unit.

Patrick has seen it from every side: as a residential agent in Las Vegas in 2003, a commercial broker at Marcus & Millichap in San Francisco, running the property management division, launching his own brokerage and PM firm in San Diego, and as a multi-family investor himself. After two decades in real estate, one thing became crystal clear: too many property managers leave owners shaking their heads, wondering what in the world their PM is actually doing — while money bleeds out the door.
Patrick’s track record isn’t theory. He’s increased the value of apartment buildings by millions (his latest investment jumped from $4M to $6.25M) and still owns multi-family in San Diego today. That means every decision at Aluna is grounded in what he would want as an owner: faster leasing, clear communication, zero surprise fees, and tenant care that keeps people longer.
At Aluna, property management isn’t about collecting rent. It’s about performance. Details that protect your asset. Responsiveness that keeps tenants happy. Transparency that builds trust. Because when your manager is actually paying attention, your building performs — and you finally get the peace of mind you’ve been paying for all along.
Flipped the value of a San Diego apartment building by $2.25M with smarter renovations and sharper management.
Broker. Investor. Owner. Two decades of knowing what actually makes multi-family properties perform.
We don’t just manage here — we own here. Which means we know this market and what keeps buildings profitable.

I'm really enjoying working with Stone Harbor so far!
They have been prompt and kind and are genuine! They have completed all our maintenance requests within a week or less and they keep the property well maintained. So happy to have finally found a good rental company in SD!

Having had bad luck with other property groups in SD in the past I am always extremely nervous when I'm looking to rent.
Patrick is attentive, professional, and excellent at communicating with us. Anytime we had any questions he was always quick to text, call, or email.
The process was fast which I appreciated due to the fact that we were already down to our last 30 days from our previous landlord. I really look forward to renting from this property group for the long term.

Best rental experience I’ve had in San Diego
I put in a ticket for a leaky faucet and had a response the same day with someone out the next morning. After dealing with managers who ignored me for weeks, it feels like night and day. I plan on staying here for years.

We hear it all the time: “Switching feels like a hassle. Tenants might complain. What if the new manager’s worse?”
The truth? Doing nothing is the most expensive choice. Vacancies, surprise repairs, and turnover are draining tens of thousands every year.
Here’s how we make switching simple — and why your tenants will thank you for it.
One signature — that’s it. We notify your current manager, collect records, transfer vendors, onboard tenants, and set up transparent reporting. Within 30 days, your building is running smoother — and you did none of the heavy lifting.
We’ve transitioned dozens of properties without a hiccup. We handle vendor handoff, leases, tenant outreach — everything — so cash flow never misses a beat.
Nope. In fact, most tenants thank us when their requests finally get answered. Our 24-hour response guarantee sets the tone from day one — tenants feel cared for, which means they stay.
Vacancies are the biggest cash-flow leak. That’s why we pre-market units before move-out, use professional photography, and screen smarter. The result? Units filled in weeks, not months.
Never. We believe performance should earn your trust, not penalties, and that you should stay because you actually want to. With our Easy-Out Guarantee, you can leave anytime — no contracts, no exit fees.
We’re the only San Diego firm with a 12-month performance guarantee. If we don’t hit the targets we forecast, your next two months are free.
Every month with a “just-collects-rent” manager is money lost — in vacancies sitting too long, tenants walking out, and surprise fees buried in your report. At Aluna, we do it differently. We lease faster. We keep tenants happier. We know your building inside and out. And we only win when you do.
Switching isn’t a hassle — it’s a handoff. We take care of the vendors, leases, tenants, even the messy records your current manager forgot about. Your tenants won’t complain. In fact, most decide to stay another year once we step in.
So the question isn’t if you should switch. The question is: how much more are you willing to lose, before you throw your hands up and say 'enough is enough'?!
