Buying, Holding, and Selling: How Oakmont Supports Every Stage of Your Investment Journey
Real estate investing isn’t a one-time decision — it’s an evolving journey. From identifying your first deal to executing a strategic exit, each stage presents new challenges and opportunities. That’s why having a long-term partner matters.
At Oakmont Property Management, we don’t just manage properties — we support investors through the entire lifecycle of residential real estate investment. Whether you’re just starting out or rebalancing a mature portfolio, we’re here to help you make smarter decisions and grow your wealth with confidence.
Here’s how we guide investors through every phase: buying, holding, and selling.
🏠 1. Buying: Smarter Acquisitions With Local Insight
The foundation of every great portfolio is a smart acquisition. Oakmont’s licensed brokerage team helps investors find, evaluate, and acquire properties with long-term performance in mind.
We assist with:
Market research and neighborhood insights
Investment analysis and rent projections
Contractor referrals for renovation budgets
Off-market opportunities through our network
Our team knows how to identify rental-ready properties in high-demand neighborhoods throughout Richmond, Hampton Roads, Charlottesville, and Lynchburg. We’re not just helping you buy a property — we’re helping you buy an income-producing asset.

🔧 2. Holding: Full-Service Management That Maximizes ROI
Owning rental property comes with operational demands — leasing, repairs, rent collection, compliance, and tenant relations, just to name a few. That’s where full-service property management becomes your most powerful asset.
With Oakmont, you get:
Strategic pricing and fast, professional leasing
Preventative maintenance and responsive repairs
Reliable rent collection and detailed owner statements
Legal compliance with the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act
Transparent communication and tenant retention strategies
We also help owners build long-term value through capital planning and performance reviews across your portfolio.

💼 3. Selling: Exit Strategies That Preserve Equity
Selling a rental property isn’t just about listing it on the MLS. A smart exit strategy maximizes returns, times the market, and minimizes tax liability. Oakmont helps you navigate this process with:
Rental income analysis to set value
Pre-sale inspections and contractor coordination
Occupied or vacant listing strategy
Guidance on timing the sale or executing a 1031 exchange
A 1031 exchange allows you to defer capital gains tax by reinvesting proceeds into another property — a powerful tool for long-term investors.
Best of all, because we’ve managed the property, we know its full history — and we can position it to attract other investors as buyers.
📊 4. The Oakmont Advantage: A True One-Stop Shop
Most companies focus on just one piece of the puzzle — brokerage, leasing, or management. Oakmont is different. We bring everything together under one roof, which means:
Fewer vendors to coordinate
A seamless experience from purchase to sale
A team that understands your portfolio and goals
We also serve both local and out-of-state investors, offering peace of mind whether you live around the corner or across the country.
Looking to scale? We’ll help you develop a strategy. Planning to cash out? We’ll help you time it right.
