About us
We work for owners and HOA boards.
Large landlords have staff watching every dollar and every contractor. Most owners and HOA boards don't. That gap is the reason we exist.
Why we started
Most owners don't have a team behind them.
Some own a fourplex. Some own several buildings. Some sit on the board of a 200-unit association. They all face the same hard choices: rents, repairs, contractors, taxes.
And a loan or a special assessment coming due.
Most properties earn less than they could, and most repairs cost more than they should. What owners rarely get is someone who runs the numbers, manages the work, and has no stake in the answer. That's the job we took.
Our promise
Three things you can hold us to.
We don't take commissions
We get paid for the work, not for a deal. So we can tell you to do nothing.
We look at the whole thing
Money, repairs, contractors, tenants, taxes, and time. Not just the part that's easy to sell.
We say it plainly
No jargon. When you finish the report, you'll know what to do next.
Who we are
Two people, both owners themselves.
Kevin Hirai
Principal
Kevin co-founded Peninsula View Property Management in Torrance, a family-run firm that looks after homes and apartment buildings from Long Beach up through the Peninsula. He has been an owner the whole time too. He knows what a building costs to run because he runs them.
Martin Kulli
Principal
Martin builds housing for a living. Through Olten Development he puts together the financing, the plans, and the crews for apartment, condo, and single-family projects around Southern California. He has managed contractors, budgets, and schedules from permit to final inspection. He can tell you what a repair should cost, and whether it pays back.
