Southside Property Management

What Southside Property Management does

Southside Property Management is a privately held residential property management company headquartered at 1621 S. Broadway in Menomonie, Wisconsin. Founded in 2001 by Jay Williamson after his prior industry experience, the company manages approximately 300 rental units including one to seven bedroom apartments, single-family homes, townhomes, and duplexes. Its customer base consists of two primary segments: residential renters (students, families, and businesses seeking housing in the Menomonie area) and property owners or investors who delegate full-service management of their rental assets.

The company operates a single unified service platform combining core property management operations with supporting tenant tools. Core offerings include tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination (with same-day or within-three-day turnaround, 24/7 emergency response, and twice-yearly preventative checks), accounts payable/receivable, monthly owner financial statements, and market rent monitoring. Tenant-facing technology consists of a RentManager-powered portal for payments and maintenance requests, an RHRIS-based online rental application system, and a website with listings searchable by bedroom count, pet policy, and price range.

Southside generates revenue through managed services, primarily charging property owners management fees on rental income and placement/leasing fees on tenant turnover. Pricing for renters is set per bedroom with additional charges for extra occupants or pets, billed monthly. The business is distributed directly to tenants and owners through its main office, website, phone/email channels, and partnerships with independent outside locator and leasing agent services. The company remains wholly owned by its founder with no external institutional investment, no patents, no awards, and no disclosed geographic expansion beyond Menomonie, Wisconsin.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights2 records

Emerging players

• Bungalow: Residential rental platform providing co-living/managed rental services with an integrated tech layer. Targets the same small-landlord and tenant segments Southside serves but with national brand and digital onboarding.
• Mynd Property Management: Tech-enabled residential property manager focused on single-family rentals with national reach. Comparable in serving small landlords with full-service management, but differentiates through proprietary technology and scale—key long-term competitive threat.

Direct peers

• Real Property Management: National franchise network of residential property management offices serving small-to-mid markets across the U.S. Directly comparable to Southside in scope of service (tenant placement, leasing, full-service management) and customer base (small landlords and investors).

Others

• AppFolio Property Manager: SaaS property management platform used by thousands of small/mid residential PMs. Not a competitor for management services directly, but the software layer that powers tech-enabled PMs competing against Southside.
• Buildium: Residential-focused SaaS for property managers, used by SMB PM firms. Relevant as the productivity backbone that enables smaller managers to scale—analogous to Southside's own use of RentManager.
• RentCafe / Yardi: Enterprise residential property management software suite. Comparable as the broader category of technology that small PMs like Southside rely on, and as the platform competitors may use to differentiate.

Broad incumbents

• Lincoln Property Company: Diversified national residential and commercial property manager with a heavy multifamily book. Directly comparable on residential PM service offering, though targeting larger institutional and developer clients.
• Greystar Real Estate Partners: Largest U.S. multifamily property manager/operator with a national portfolio. Comparable in that it offers the same residential PM service stack Southside does, but at vastly larger scale and institutional clients—useful as the upper-bound benchmark.

Regional players

• Edward Rose & Sons: Family-owned multifamily developer and operator based in the Upper Midwest with multi-state footprint. Comparable as a similarly family-led Midwest residential operator with similar unit-mix and tenant-segment overlap.
• Apartment Guys: Small Midwest residential property management operator serving similar small-town and student-housing markets. Comparable in scale and service scope to Southside—useful as a same-tier direct competitor proxy.
