From Australia to Toledo, with a few hundred houses in between. 🇦🇺

Our CEO and co-founder Engelo Rumora sat down with Dylan Scroggins on the Unfiltered podcast to talk about the whole journey — flipping 50+ houses a year, why he used to hate property management, and what changed his mind.

The short version: SOPs, the right technology, and a team you actually trust. That's what turns property management from a headache into an operation that holds up when the market doesn't.

He also gets into the branding side of things — why being memorable beats being safe in a crowded market. (If you've seen our purple-and-pink office, you know we take that seriously.) 💜🩷

Ask any seasoned Toledo investor what kills their cash flow, and they won’t say property taxes or minor repairs. They’ll say turnover.

When a tenant moves out, the clock starts ticking, and money starts bleeding. You aren't just losing a month of rent; you’re paying for deep cleaning, paint touch-ups, professional marketing, and tenant screening. By the time a new tenant moves in, you are easily out $1,500 to $2,500.

In a stabilized 2026 rental market where average rent growth is leveling off around 3%, pushing for constant rent hikes at the expense of losing a great tenant is a losing game. Keeping a good tenant is always cheaper than finding a new one.

Here is the Oz Realty playbook on how we maintain an average tenancy length of 1.66 years and keep turnover costs from eating your profits:

1. Speed-Run Maintenance: Tenants don’t leave because of an appliance breakdown; they leave because of how long it took to fix it. We route every repair through Property Meld, tracking repair speed and vendor performance in real-time. If a tenant knows their home is cared for instantly, they don't want to leave.

2. Radical Timing & Transparency: Don't wait until 30 days before the lease ends to talk about renewals. We start the conversation early, giving tenants a transparent look at the market. No surprises, no last-minute scrambling.

3. Structured Communication: From day one, our tenants get a digital Welcome Package via AppFolio. They know exactly how to pay rent, how to request help, and what to expect. Clear boundaries and easy digital access eliminate the friction that drives tenants away.

4. Perk the Property: Small, proactive upgrades during a renewal—like installing a smart thermostat or upgrading a light fixture—cost a fraction of a vacancy and show the tenant they are valued.

Stop treating your tenants like a line item and start treating retention like the wealth-building strategy it is. Or better yet, let us handle the tech and the relationships for you.

You work too hard finding the perfect property for your investor clients to watch an old-school, pen-and-paper property manager run it into the ground.

When your clients ask, "Who should manage this?" you need a partner who makes you look like a genius—not someone who dilutes their returns with hidden junk fees and slow maintenance.

Enter Oz Realty. We are Toledo’s only 100% tech-oriented, digitally integrated property management company. We don't do sales. We don't do construction. We have zero competing internal agendas. We just manage rentals with elite-level efficiency.

Here is how our Realtor Referral Program works:

You Refer: Send us a client with a single rental or an entire portfolio in Lucas County.
We Onboard: We transition them seamlessly into our tech stack (AppFolio, Property Meld, Obligo) to maximize their cash flow.
You Get Paid: We cut you a $500 referral fee for every single unit that joins our management portfolio.
The best part? Your client stays your client. We do not have a real estate sales division, meaning we will never try to poach your client when they are ready to buy or sell their next property. Your relationship is completely protected.

Stop leaving money on the table and stop risking your reputation with outdated property managers. Let’s partner up.

Let’s talk about the biggest bottleneck in the summer leasing season: the upfront cost of moving.

When a great tenant is looking for a new home, they aren't just looking at the first month's rent. They’re staring down moving truck rentals, application fees, and a massive traditional security deposit. That giant chunk of cash sits in a bank account doing absolutely nothing, and it frequently delays move-in dates or scares off qualified renters entirely.

At Oz Realty, we do things differently. We use Obligo to offer deposit-free living.

Obligo is a game-changing security deposit alternative integrated right into our tech stack. Instead of tying up thousands of dollars in cash, qualified tenants provide a secure billing authorization (similar to checking into a high-end hotel).

Here is why this is a massive win-win for Toledo property owners:

⚡ Lightning-Fast Leasing: By lowering the upfront financial barrier to move in, your property instantly becomes more competitive. We fill vacancies significantly faster because renters can jump on your listing without waiting for their next three paychecks.
🛡️ 100% Protection (No Risk to You): If there are damages or unpaid rent at move-out, Oz Realty files a claim, and Obligo pays us out instantly. They handle collecting the funds from the tenant on the backend. Your cash flow is completely secure.
📋 Zero Deposit Disputes: Traditional deposits often lead to messy, manual disputes over who owes what at move-out. Obligo digitizes and streamlines the entire process, backed by our timestamped RentCheck digital photo inspections. It’s transparent, audit-ready, and completely hands-off for you.
Old-school property management companies are still chasing down paper checks and opening manual escrow accounts. We use modern financial tech to keep your units full and your returns protected.

Most property management companies in Toledo are actually real estate agencies in disguise. They manage rentals to keep the lights on while they wait for a sales commission.

At Oz Realty, we do things differently. We are 100% dedicated to property management.

Why does that matter to you?

1️⃣ No Conflicting Priorities: We don’t drop your maintenance emergency to go show a house.
2️⃣ System Superiority: All our innovation goes into managing your asset, not marketing listings.
3️⃣ Aligned Goals: We focus on long-term stability and cash flow, not a one-time exit.

We’re not a "jack of all trades." We’re the masters of one: Your Rental.

Is your "system" just a bunch of tabs and formulas? 📁❌

If you’re still using a spreadsheet to manage your Toledo rentals, you haven’t built a business—you’ve built a full-time data entry job.

Spreadsheets are fine when you have one property. But the moment you want to scale, they become your biggest liability.

🚫 No Automation: You’re manually chasing every late fee.
🚫 High Error Rates: One "typo" in an expense column ruins your year-end tax report.
🚫 Zero Transparency: You can’t see your portfolio's health at a glance.

At Oz Realty, we don’t do manual. We use an integrated tech ecosystem (AppFolio, Tenant Turner, Property Meld) to give you:

✨ Real-time visibility: Check your books from your phone at 2 AM.
✨ Automated Distributions: Rent hits your account faster.
✨ Clean, Audit-Ready Records: No more shoeboxes of receipts.

Stop surviving the paperwork and start scaling your wealth. 🚀

Two whom it may concern,

A quick “Thank You” and “F**k You” from yours truly 🤗

I stopped posting on social media a long time ago as your validation isn’t needed.

My pride and ego have all but disappeared, thus I am solely humbled by this achievement.

Humbled by the grace of God for always being there during my deepest times of despair.

This post is for you Lonna 💜

Lonna, Thank you for 10+ years of loyalty, sacrifice, tolerance, patience, understanding, commitment, love and friendship (I could go on…)

Thank you to Big Daddy Sean, Martha, Becks, Tikka, Laarne, Jake and JM.

Nolan, Overlock, Reed, Angel and many more (Sorry if I didn’t mention you).

Thank you to Sandee and Doug (RIP and you are always in my heart and never to be forgotten. This one is for you also).

Another BIG Thank you to absolutely nobody else for your help, generosity and favors. Never did we ask nor would we accept.

Those of you that did so kind heartedly, are very unique and special in today’s world 🥰

And finally, Thank you to all the former employees, business partners, haters and trolls.

Your doubts fulled our success 🍆

It took a small village to “raise” Oz Realty.

In 2011 I told my mate in Sydney that it would be a dream to start a company in the US and make the Inc 5000.

I moved to the US in September of 2012 and have since lived/experienced 3 lifetimes in my long 38 years 🇺🇸

3rd time on Inc 5000 and rumor has it that Oz made the TOP 500 this time around.

There is nothing more to prove or achieve other than live a good and silent life.

Thank You and F**k you all very much lol 🙏

Until next time (Hopefully never).

Yours truly,
Engelo
