Chicago buildings, managed by people who own them.
Forza manages two-flats to twelve-unit buildings and single-family homes across Chicago, the suburbs and Northwest Indiana - with our own maintenance crew, a check of every building's City record each morning, and books you can open any time.
Check your building
See what the City of Chicago has on file for any address - open violations, hearings, 311 complaints and permits. Free, no sign-up.
Managed the way we manage our own buildings.
Forza's own companies own rental buildings in Chicago. Your building gets the same systems, the same crew and the same attention to the City as ours.
Our own crew, planned every night
Repairs go to Forza's maintenance crew, not a call-around. Every evening open requests are sorted by urgency and grouped by location, so emergencies go first and nothing waits in a pile.
We watch the City for you
Every morning we check each building against the City's 311 complaints, building violations, hearings, permits and the scofflaw list - so a tenant's 311 call gets handled before it turns into a fine.
Books you can actually see
Your owner portal shows income, expenses and every transaction as it posts. Ask for the invoice behind any charge, or a twelve-month operating statement for your lender.
CHA and voucher know-how
We lease to market-rate and Housing Choice Voucher tenants alike - the paperwork, the inspections and the HAP contract handled, not dreaded.
Hand us the building, or just the vacancy.
Property management
Full-service management for two- to twelve-unit buildings and single-family homes: maintenance, tenants, rent, the City and the books.
Property managementLeasing only
You manage, we fill the vacancy: pricing to the market, marketing, showings, screening, voucher approvals and a signed lease.

Check your buildingThe details owners usually find out about too late.
Emergencies first
A burst pipe, a sewage backup, no heat in cold weather, gas or fire - the team is alerted the moment it's logged, and it goes to the front of our crew's list.
Chicago's rules, on the calendar
Heat season from September 15, lease end dates and renewal notices, insurance renewals and property tax payments - on the calendar, not left to memory.
City problems closed out
Open violations, hearing dates and permit requirements are kept on one list per building, so nothing the City is waiting on gets forgotten.
Rent collected, follow-through when it isn't
Late rent is flagged every morning. When a case goes to eviction, we work with eviction counsel and follow it to the court date and the Sheriff's schedule.
Checks on the books every day
Bank reconciliation, bills waiting for approval, missing invoices and overdue payments are checked every morning, not at month end.
Answers, not hold music
Every request is logged in our system and followed through. Owners hear from us with a recommendation, and only need to make the decisions that are theirs.
Switching is easier than staying unhappy.
Most switches take about 30 days. We collect everything from your current manager - leases, ledgers, deposits, keys, vendor contracts - and introduce ourselves to your tenants. You sign once.
Free proposal
We review your building, its rents and its City record.

One agreement. We give your current manager notice for you.
Handover
Leases, ledgers, deposits, keys, vendors, utilities and insurance move over.
Up and running
Tenants know who to call, and your owner portal is live.
What kinds of buildings do you manage?
Two-flats up to twelve-unit buildings, and single-family homes and condos owned by investors - the buildings most of Chicago's rentals are in.
Do you work with CHA and Housing Choice Voucher tenants?
Yes. We handle the voucher paperwork, prepare units for housing-authority inspections and keep the HAP contract and rent changes straight, alongside market-rate tenants.
Can I hire you just to lease my units?
Yes. Our leasing-only service prices the unit to the market, markets it, shows it, screens applicants and signs the lease - you keep managing the building.
What does it cost?
It depends on the building, so we send a written proposal - free, with no obligation - after we've looked at the building and its City record.
How do I see what's happening with my money?
In the owner portal and app: income, expenses and every transaction as it posts, plus your statements and documents. Ask for the invoice behind any charge, or a twelve-month operating statement for a lender.
What happens in an emergency?
A burst pipe, a sewage backup, no heat in cold weather, a gas or fire problem - the team is alerted the moment it's logged, and it goes to the front of our crew's list.
