Owning a rental property in Escondido sounds great… until your phone buzzes with:
“Hi, the garbage disposal just started making noises like it's started rapping in Morse code (and it wasn’t good). Can you come fix it?”
Suddenly, your vision of passive income is replaced by plungers, lease agreements, and endless Google searches for “cheap plumbers near me.” Not exactly the stress-free investment you had in mind.
That’s where Francis Taylor Properties comes in. We’re here to turn your property management headaches into smooth, reliable income streams — so you can focus on things you actually enjoy (like a beach day in Carlsbad, a hike at Daley Ranch, or just binging Netflix without tenant texts interrupting).

🏠 Why Choose a Local Escondido Property Manager?
Not all property management companies are created equal. Some take a one-size-fits-all approach. But Escondido — and North County San Diego as a whole — has unique market dynamics. At Francis Taylor Properties, we’re not a corporate machine or a Wall Street-backed giant. We’re a small, local team who genuinely cares about people, homes, and community. We don’t see your property as just another unit on a spreadsheet — we treat it as if it were our own. That’s why our clients stick with us: because they know we love what we do and we put heart into every rental we manage.
Here’s why having Francis Taylor Properties, a local family-owned and operated property management company based right here in Escondido, matters:
We know the neighborhoods: From historic Old Escondido to the newer developments near San Pasqual Valley, we understand how to market your rental for top dollar. Each one of our employees lives and works in North County San Diego. Talk about local experts!
We have local vendors: Trusted handymen, HVAC techs, plumbers — all nearby, all reliable, all part of our mission to provide competitive rates and efficient maintenance work.
We follow the rules: California property laws are complex, and Escondido adds its own local nuances. We handle the compliance, so you don’t have to.
We price smartly: We don’t guess at rent. We analyze the Escondido rental market and set rates that maximize your ROI without scaring off great tenants.
😄 A Peek Behind the Curtain
A “day in the life” for our property managers looks like this:
Morning: Review maintenance requests and schedule repairs - like that leaky faucet - before it turns into a full-blown indoor waterfall.
Midday: Photograph and list a newly available Escondido home, show available units to prospective renters then screen multiple applicants to find the perfect tenant.
Afternoon: Walk through a property with tenants moving out, complete any inspections (that's right, we actually walk through your property at least once a year), document wear and tear to protect your security deposits..
Evening: Send out rent reminders and financial reports, so you always know where your investment stands.
We handle the messy stuff — so you can spend your evenings enjoying San Diego sunsets, not unclogging drains.
