ADvance INvestments Property Managment

What ADvance INvestments Property Managment does

ADvance INvestments is a family-owned property management firm headquartered in Burbank, California, that provides full-service management of single-family homes and small multifamily properties (up to 14 units, with a core focus on 3-8 unit buildings). The company serves individual landlords and small real estate investors across Los Angeles County and California's Central Coast (San Luis Obispo, Atascadero, Templeton, Paso Robles), handling tenant screening and placement, rent collection, lease management, property maintenance coordination, and California rental law compliance. Founded in 1979 by Vince Putrino, the firm is now led by third-generation broker Dante Putrino alongside Dino, CallaBria, and Cindy Putrino, with the business operating under California DRE# 02190276.

The firm's technology stack is built on AppFolio as the core property management platform, which powers a tenant portal (rent payments via credit, debit, or e-check; online maintenance requests with 1-3 business day response times) and an owner portal (financial statements and account access). A proprietary rent comparison tool supports market-rate pricing decisions. Operations are supported by a 24/7 emergency maintenance line, routine property inspections, and preventative maintenance coordination, with a publicly disclosed $45 non-refundable tenant application fee per adult applicant covering credit check processing.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring percentage-based property management fees on managed rental portfolios, supplemented by real estate investment advisory services that include customized 5-year property investment plans for landlord clients. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer, relying on the company website, phone and email outreach, and word-of-mouth referrals stemming from the 45-plus year family-owned legacy. Distribution is concentrated at the Burbank headquarters (3418 West Burbank Boulevard) with online self-service through the AppFolio-powered portals. No external funding, parent company, or institutional ownership is present; the business is entirely family-held.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Greystar Real Estate Partners: Largest US residential property manager with significant multifamily exposure nationally. Comparable as the same core service (property management for rental owners) but operates at institutional scale across hundreds of thousands of units, well above ADvance's 3-8 unit niche.
• Essex Property Trust: Multifamily REIT operating West Coast apartment communities including Los Angeles. Not a direct competitor (REIT model) but provides a useful benchmark for LA rental-market dynamics that affect ADvance's managed properties.
• FirstService Residential: Large North American residential property manager serving condominiums, HOAs, and rental portfolios. Comparable service offering but focused on HOA/condo management at much larger scale; competes for the same landlord services spend in California.

Others

• AppFolio: Property management software platform that powers ADvance's tenant and owner portals. Not a competitor but a critical technology vendor — also offers direct-to-landlord PM tools that could disintermediate small PM firms over time.
• Buildium: Property management software platform for landlords and small PM firms. Not a direct competitor to ADvance's services but enables self-service landlord management that competes for the same small-landlord customer segment.
• Yardi Systems: Major property management software provider serving residential and commercial landlords. Not a service competitor but a technology ecosystem comparable to AppFolio; relevant to understanding how ADvance's tech stack compares to industry standards.

Direct peers

• Real Property Management: National franchise system of residential property management offices, including multiple California franchisees. Directly comparable full-service PM offering (tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance) targeting individual landlords and small portfolios, the same segment ADvance serves.
• Lyon Management Group: Southern California residential property management firm managing single-family and multifamily rentals across the LA region. Directly comparable local competitor serving the same Burbank/LA County landlord base.
• Moss & Company Property Management: Long-established Los Angeles property management firm serving LA County residential rental owners. Comparable in service mix (tenant placement, rent collection, maintenance) and geographic overlap with ADvance.
• Professional Property Management of California: California-based residential property management firm offering full-service management for single-family and small multifamily rentals. Closely comparable target customer (small landlords) and service scope, making it a head-to-head local competitor.
