Kansas City residential
Property Management

It is worth it when the rental is taking time you do not want to give it — maintenance calls, rent follow-up, renewals, or distance. SCUDO handles leasing, resident communication, 24/7/365 emergency maintenance, and financial reporting in Kansas City, with published pricing and same-day owner communication.

The practical signs are covered in How do I know it’s time to hire a property manager?

SCUDO publishes transparent pricing on our website. Current management plans include:

• Placement Only: 100% lease-up fee
• Silver Plan: 100% lease-up fee + 7.9% monthly management fee
• Gold Plan: 89% lease-up fee + 8.9% monthly management fee
• Platinum Plan: 50% lease-up fee + 12.9% monthly management fee

Discounts may be available for luxury investment properties and multiple rental units. For full plan details and included services, see our pricing page.

We adhere to the tenant’s lease agreement. If they are on a SCUDO lease, they are considered late on the 3rd. We submit files for eviction on the 10th if no payment or communication is received. It is imperative that we follow the exact same process every time and do not show favoritism to any resident by allowing some to be late, while others cannot.

We provide several payment options (one time ACH, recurring ACH, debit or credit card, or cash at participating cash locations). If residents choose not to pay or to communicate, we move forward as outlined in their lease agreement. We submit the resident’s file for eviction, post notices, oversee the eviction process, and appear in court if needed.

We have a $500 repair authorization threshold for non-emergency expenses. Non-emergency expenses exceeding $500 will require approval prior to authorizing. SCUDO’s property management agreement includes authorization to coordinate and schedule true emergencies at time of occurrence.

That means you will not get a call for every small repair under the $500 threshold, while larger non-emergency work still comes to you for approval before we proceed.

Yes. A large share of the property owners we serve are out-of-state investors. SCUDO is a Kansas City team built to handle day-to-day management locally — leasing, resident communication, 24/7/365 emergency maintenance, and financial reporting — so you stay informed without needing to be on-site.

You get same-day responses for owner communication, portal visibility into your property’s performance, and a local team that knows Kansas City neighborhoods and ordinances because this is the only market we work in.

Yes. Many of our owners didn’t set out to become landlords — they inherited a home, relocated, or life simply put a rental in their hands. SCUDO is built around the same need whether you own one property or many: a property manager who answers the phone, protects your cash flow, and handles Kansas landlord-tenant responsibilities so you don’t have to learn them the hard way.

We’re intentionally not a national platform managing thousands of doors across a dozen states. We’re a Kansas City team that can support a single rental with the same local attention, transparent pricing, and clear communication you’d want for a larger portfolio.

Yes. SCUDO supports owners who are actively growing a Kansas City–area portfolio with:

• Timely and accurate financial reporting
• A simple owner portal with visibility into your properties
• Regular communication as your portfolio expands
• Investment-property assistance
• Oversight of property work
• Renting and day-to-day management
• Resale assistance when you’re ready to exit a property
• Realtor expertise focused on rental properties
• A long-term relationship approach — not a transactional realtor interaction

From consulting and acquiring the next investment through ongoing management (and eventually resale when the time is right), we partner for the long haul.

Yes. You do not need a previous rental to get started. We’ll help you price the property, get it market-ready, and screen applicants with local and national background checks, open banking verification, and reference checks — so you are not learning Kansas and Missouri landlord-tenant law by trial and error.

That is how management is set up. SCUDO handles the day-to-day so you are not fielding maintenance calls. Larger decisions — a renewal rate, a major repair, or a tenant issue — still come to you.

Non-emergency repairs over $500 need your approval before we authorize them. True emergencies are coordinated when they happen, under the management agreement.
