For owner-investors with 1–15 doors in Metro Detroit who are done guessing. The Beta Method™ turns your rental portfolio into a data-driven operation — six phases, real Tri-County market data, decisions you can actually defend.
A single-family rental in Royal Oak. Tenant in place since March 2025. Lease expiring March 2026. The decision every landlord faces — renew, raise, or re-list. We ran it through the Method.
| Path | 18-mo Revenue | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| A. Flat renewal, 12 mo | $36,000 | Winter expiry again |
| B. Aggressive raise +10% | ~$38,800 | Tenant risk · Winter expiry |
| ✓ C. Moderate raise + 18 mo + pet fix | $37,800 | Low risk · Peak expiry |
| D. Non-renew & re-list | Market rate | Winter listing · High vacancy |
Path C won: +5% rent, both cats documented in a signed addendum, 18-month term shifts lease expiry from March (worst leasing month) to September 2027 — peak demand season. The quiet move most landlords never make.
Full-service management for Metro Detroit owners with 1–15 doors. Every service feeds the same live data stack that powers the Method.
Professional listing, showings, background and credit screening, lease execution. We find the right tenant — not just the first one who applies. Priced off live comps from day one.
Rent collection, maintenance coordination, vendor management, move-in/out documentation — all tracked in a live dashboard you can check anytime. Hands-off ownership, total visibility.
24-hour response. Trusted local vendors with owner-set spend thresholds. Zero surprise invoices. You approve anything above your threshold — nothing else.
Not monthly PDFs — a live dashboard updated in real time. Every rent payment, work order, and dollar visible the moment it happens. Year-end summaries included at no extra cost.
Michigan-compliant leases, renewal negotiations priced off live Metro Detroit comps, fair housing adherence. We keep you legal, documented, and at market — every term.
Move-out inspection, punch list, cleaning coordination, make-ready execution. Units back on market fast, documented top to bottom, priced off live comps before the first showing.
This is Phase 1 of the Beta Method™ — not a Zillow estimate, not a generic auto-report. We pull live Tri-County rental comps and tell you exactly where each door stands and what to do next.
We'll have your Portfolio Snapshot to you within 24 hours.

I manage my own rental properties in Metro Detroit — and I built Beta PMI because I wanted the same standard for my clients that I hold for myself: a documented process, honest numbers, and decisions that you can actually defend.
Before founding Beta Group, I spent years in corporate data and operations roles at Bosch, Bimbo Bakeries, and Fluor — building the analytical discipline that now runs underneath everything the Beta Method does. When I say your numbers are right, they're right.
I focus on independent owners with 1–15 doors who are done guessing and ready to run their portfolio like a business. You get direct access to me — not a call center, not a junior coordinator. Based in Troy, built for Metro Detroit.
We stay local on purpose. Knowing the submarket means better tenant screening, better vendor relationships, and faster turnovers — because we've driven every zip code.
Outside these areas? Reach out — larger portfolios or unique situations may still be a fit.
The Beta Method™ is a manufacturing-grade decision process applied to rental portfolios. Every client goes through the same six phases — the same ones we run on our own properties first. Same method, different throttle: you choose your investment appetite, we match the pace.
We sit down and capture your full picture — goals, risk appetite, portfolio condition, and lease status. No assumptions, no generic advice. Every door gets a measured baseline before anything else happens.
Investor Profile + Portfolio Baseline ScorecardWe run every door against live Tri-County comps, KPI benchmarks, and cost models. We tell you exactly where money is leaking — rent below market, expense creep, vacancy drag, under-documented leases.
Property Performance Diagnosis — one page per doorWe model 2–3 paths per property with projected NOI, cash-on-cash, and risk band — then match the recommendation to your appetite tier. You make the call. We make sure you're making it with real numbers.
Decision Brief with modeled scenariosDay-to-day operations kick in — leasing, renewals, maintenance, vendor coordination. You get a live dashboard tracking actuals vs. the model, updated in real time. Small bets first, scale what works.
Live Owner Dashboard · Monthly actuals vs. modelEvery quarter we sit down and grade our own predictions — model vs. actual, in plain English. Variances get explained, not buried. Corrective actions get assigned. This is the part most PM companies will never show you.
Quarterly Scorecard + updated forecastAnnual strategy session: refi windows, acquisition readiness, appetite re-check. Every client makes the engine smarter — learnings feed back into Beta Data models, improving accuracy for everyone in the portfolio.
Annual Portfolio Strategy + next-year targets"We run our own properties through the Method first."
The Royal Oak rental in Case Study #001 above went through every one of these six phases — numbers published, nothing hidden.
