Stop searching. We’re right here.

Google gives us summaries of how many times our properties are found, and how. Even during covid (or is that over now?), we’re seeing huge increases in search for our property type.

If you’re looking to move into a place — stop searching, and start calling 832-640-4444 The FP team will get you into one of our properties quickly and easily.

(And if you really want this property below, we have some more info here. But it’s always best just to call to help make the next move

We don’t share data as much as we should, or we’d like. I’m a data nerd. I love capturing data, looking at it, seeing trends, and trying to use that data to help the experience of not just our residents, but people looking to become residents. If I could roll around in data — ‘indecent proposal’ style — I would 🙂

On Monday, May 25th, all Fat Property offices will be closed in recognition of Memorial Day. For tenants with emergency work requests, we’ll still have our phone lines answered.

As members of both the Houston Apartment Association and the National Apartment Association, we have access to information that may be of assistance to our residents.

We’ve summarized some of the organizations that may be able to help, as well placed all the current information we have regarding government programs (such as monthly payment checks being proposed during this crisis) into one spot. Follow this link . We will updated it in real time as new information comes in

We are all responding to the challenges brought forward by COVID-19, commonly known as Cronavirus.  Many of you have asked about office hours, work requests, and rent.

Office hours:  As of today, March 18, all Fat Property offices are open.  This includes our Montrose headquarters at 3800 Garrott and all onsite offices. Our office hours are still Monday – Friday, 9:00am-5:30pm.  We’re still doing apartment showings during office hours, and on Saturday from 10:00am-2:00pm (by appointment).  We obviously ask if you are showing any symptoms that you delay your showings or office visits.

Maintenance request:  Almost all maintenance staff are working to respond to requests. We’ve asked anyone who shows even slight symptoms to stay at home.  As such, things might be slightly slower than normal but any work request logged via the tenant portal will be responded to.  Also, if you or a family member is showing symptoms, please delay placing any work requests that require entry into your residence.

Rental payments:  Rent is still due by the 1st and can be paid online via the tenant portal, or using “pay near me”, or by dropping off a cashiers check / money order to our office. 

We are working hard to make sure our employees can stay working and receive a paycheck. While we understand people may be impacted by employment levels, as a small company, we are not in a position to allow any rent to be paused or waived.  Almost all rent collected goes to pay banks, utilities, property taxes for schools, insurance, maintenance staff, and our property managers. 

If you think you’re going to have a problem paying rent on the first, please start discussions with friends, family, or government agencies in advance of the 1st.  We have heard news that the government may be sending out checks to people to help with what we’re all going through. 

We hope everyone and their family stays safe during this time. 

Almost daily we’re asked if we’re willing to lease our units for the purpose of subletting the property to others on short term rental (“STR”) basis via airbnb, vrbo, etc.

The short answer is “Yes“. But the longer answer is “It’s complicated“

But we’ve gotten the question asked enough times where rather than replying over and over with the same info, we’ve typed up a page that goes into details. So if this is something you’re interested in, hop on over to our page to discuss subletting units for STR

Our “Star” team of Mike and Star, who work in our main office, just completed the Chevron Houston Marathon in blistering time. Way to go you two!!

Swing by our main office @ 3800 Garrott St to say “hi”. And while you’re there, feel free to rent a place from us (hey, gotta turn this into a plug. Right? 🙂

There were a lot of positive messages shared by Dr. King but the one we like the most was treating everyone based on the content of their character vs. the color of their skin. We don’t support and personal, business, or government actions that would treat people differently due to their skin tone.

If you have the day off, and normally have a hard time viewing our properties since we’re typically open M-F, 9-6, then feel free to give us a call. All offices are open. Our main HQ # is 832-640-4444

Almost daily we receive an email, call, or text asking if we’re interested in selling one of our properties (we also receive letters in the mail asking the same, but those all get recycled).

We do our best to reply to each of those inquires. It typically involves someone at our team typing out a lot of texts or emails back and forth on how to make a deal happen.

Finally, to save our time (and sanity :), we’ve typed up a page on how to buy from us. So click or tap on over to read
