Small & mid-size apartments · OKC metro
Too big to self-manage. Too small to pay for a full-time staff.
A 20–100 unit complex is a real business, but it rarely has enough work to keep a full-time maintenance tech and office staff busy. You pay for them anyway.
We think about small apartments differently. Our local crew moves between campuses as one team, backed by a home office you can reach 24/7 by app or phone, with smart local dispatch when your property needs someone.
Mission accomplished, and you save big.

The OKCREAL crew
One local team, many campuses
Small complexes, managed a smarter way
Staffing every small property like it's a big apartment community doesn't make sense. Here's the difference.
The old way
On-site staff for every property
- A full-time maintenance tech and office staff at each complex
- You pay for their whole week, busy or slow
- One person is expected to be good at everything
- When they're sick, on vacation or quit, the property is uncovered
- A small complex carries big-complex overhead
The OKCREAL way
A shared local team, a 24/7 office and smart dispatch
- One crew shared across campuses, so no property pays for idle time
- Skilled workers who do the work every day across many buildings
- A home office available 24/7 by app or phone for residents and owners
- Smart local dispatch sends the right person when your property needs one
- Better outcomes at a better price, because the cost is shared
The awkward middle of multifamily
Complexes this size fall into a gap. Here's what that looks like and what we do about it.
Too many units for nights and weekends
Our 24/7 home office takes resident requests by app or phone, and smart local dispatch sends the crew. You get coverage without carrying a full staff.
Older roofs, HVAC and plumbing
A documented condition walk at onboarding and a ranked, multi-year capital plan, so the big projects stop being surprises.
Repair bills with no explanation
Problems diagnosed before anyone quotes, flat prearranged service-call pricing and photo-documented work orders.
Owner reports that explain little
A live owner portal at okcreal.money: rent, work orders, invoices and statements as they happen.
Insurance and inspections
Insurance-ready maintenance records and inspection prep. OKCREAL is experienced with OHFA and OCHA housing voucher programs: dozens of voucher households placed and agency inspections passed.
How it works day to day
Three pieces work together so your residents are looked after and you're not paying for staff you don't need.
The 24/7 home office
Residents send requests with photos through the myOKCREAL app, or call or text the office any time. Nothing waits for someone to show up at a leasing desk.
Smart local dispatch
The office sorts what's urgent from what can be grouped, figures out what's actually wrong, and dispatches the right member of the crew.
A shared roving crew
Our team moves between the campuses we manage. Your property gets skilled people when it needs them, instead of one person on the clock all week.

What full-service management includes
- Leasing & screening: marketing, showings, screening and lease execution, with consistent criteria for every applicant.
- Rent collection: online rent through the myOKCREAL app, delinquency follow-up and monthly owner disbursements.
- Maintenance: 24/7 request intake with photos, smart local dispatch and the shared crew, with turns run like projects.
- Capital planning: roof and systems condition notes, a multi-year plan, and up-front pricing before work begins.
- Inspections: move-in, move-out and periodic inspections, plus program inspection prep where applicable.
- Owner reporting: statements, ledgers, work orders and invoices in your owner portal.

Buying or refinancing?
Financing with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or HUD? Your lender will vet your manager
If you're buying or refinancing a small complex with an agency multifamily loan, your lender will look closely at who manages the property. We've been through that review: OKCREAL was approved by the lender as manager of a Freddie Mac–financed apartment community during a 2026 small-balance refinance. And we're local to the OKC metro.
Who needs professional management
On Fannie Mae Small Mortgage Loans, professional property management (or a qualified on-site manager) is required when no borrower principal lives within 200 miles of the property, or, for 10 or more units, when a local borrower has less than 2 years of experience with a property of similar size or larger. Fannie Mae doesn't require it on every loan, so ask your lender how it applies to you.
What the lender checks
The lender must confirm the management team manages other properties in the same area and has the staffing and expertise for administration, leasing, marketing and maintenance.
Freddie Mac and HUD/FHA loans
Freddie Mac lenders review the manager's experience and approve the manager as part of the loan. HUD/FHA-insured properties have their own management-agent review through HUD. Every program is different, so tell us which loan you have and we'll work through your lender's checklist with you.
The management agreement
If you're not the manager, the lender needs a written management agreement it can cancel without penalty if the loan defaults, or Fannie Mae's Assignment of Management Agreement signed by you and the manager. We'll work with your lender on the paperwork it asks for.
A plain-English summary, not lending advice. Your lender decides what your loan requires. Fannie Mae rules above: Fannie Mae Multifamily Selling and Servicing Guide, Part II, Section 114 and Part III, Section 906.

Questions owners ask us
Is OKCREAL a good fit for a 20-unit building?
Yes. At 20 units you are usually past what one owner can comfortably self-manage, but nowhere near needing a full-time on-site team. That is exactly what our shared crew is built for, and the per-unit minimum on our management fee is waived at 10 or more units.
What about 80 or 100 units?
Also a fit. Complexes up to roughly 100 units are where a shared local crew and a 24/7 office do better than a full-time staff tied to one property.
Do you require on-site staff?
No. Our model replaces full-time staff sitting on site with a shared crew that moves between campuses, a home office available 24/7 by app or phone, and smart local dispatch. Your 2027 Transition Plan explains how coverage would work for your complex.
I self-manage today. Can you take over?
Yes. We regularly onboard owners who have been self-managing. We’ll collect leases, deposits and records from you directly and set up your owner portal.
Where do you manage?
Oklahoma City and every city and town within about 25 miles of downtown, including Edmond, Moore, Norman, Midwest City, Yukon and Mustang. If your complex is nearby, call or text our office and we’ll tell you straight whether we can cover it well.
Will my Fannie Mae lender require a property manager?
It depends on you and the property. Fannie Mae does not require professional management on every multifamily loan. On its Small Mortgage Loans, professional property management (or a qualified on-site manager) is required when no borrower principal lives within 200 miles of the property, or, for 10 or more units, when a local borrower has less than 2 years of experience with a property of similar size or larger. On any Fannie Mae multifamily loan, the lender must confirm the management team manages other properties in the area and has the staffing and expertise to run the property. OKCREAL is a lender-approved manager of a Freddie Mac–financed apartment community (approved by the lender during a 2026 refinance), and we can work with your lender on what it needs.
