Community associations play a vital role in maintaining property values, enforcing standards, and fostering a sense of belonging. However, it’s no secret that many boards struggle to overcome community association (HOA/COA/POA) challenges such as resident conflicts, financial strain, legal compliance, and communication gaps. The good news? These challenges are manageable with the right systems, mindset, and tools.
This guide breaks down the most common HOA problems and offers clear, actionable solutions—written in plain language and backed by real-world best practices.
Understanding Common HOA Challenges
Before you can overcome community association (HOA) challenges, it’s important to identify what’s causing friction.
1. Poor Communication With Residents
When homeowners feel uninformed, frustration grows. Missed emails, unclear rules, or delayed updates often spark conflict.
Solution:
Use multiple channels (email, community portal, notice boards)
Share meeting summaries and decisions promptly
Set clear expectations for response times
2. Low Homeowner Engagement
Empty meetings and volunteer burnout are classic HOA pain points.
Solution:
Keep meetings short and agenda-driven
Rotate committee roles to avoid burnout
Highlight how participation benefits property values
Financial Challenges and How to Fix Them
3. Budget Shortfalls and Rising Costs
Inflation, emergency repairs, and unpaid dues can strain any association.
Solution:
Conduct regular reserve studies
Review vendor contracts annually
Enforce dues collection consistently but fairly
4. Lack of Financial Transparency
Homeowners are more likely to resist fees when they don’t understand where money goes.
Solution:
Share simplified financial reports
Host annual budget walkthroughs
Clearly explain special assessments
Governance and Leadership Issues
5. Board Member Conflicts
Disagreements among board members can stall progress and confuse residents.
Solution:
Define roles and responsibilities clearly
Use written policies and procedures
Focus discussions on data, not personalities
6. Difficulty Enforcing Rules
Selective or inconsistent enforcement leads to resentment and legal risk.
Solution:
Apply rules uniformly
Document all violations
Offer warnings before penalties when possible
Legal and Compliance Challenges
7. Keeping Up With Changing Laws
HOA laws evolve, and falling behind can be costly.
Solution:
Schedule annual legal reviews
Work with experienced HOA attorneys
Provide compliance training for board members
Technology as a Game-Changer
8. Outdated Management Systems
Paper records and manual processes slow everything down.
Solution:
Adopt HOA management software
Enable online payments and maintenance requests
Centralize documents for easy access
Building a Stronger Community Culture
9. Hire a Community Manager
To overcome community association challenges, many boards turn to a professional community manager. Board members are volunteers, and day-to-day operations, conflict resolution, and resident communication often require more time and expertise than they can provide.
A community manager acts as a neutral point of contact, improves communication, enforces rules consistently, and helps reduce resident conflict. They also support the board by handling routine tasks and providing guidance on best practices.
By creating structure, consistency, and better relationships, hiring a community manager helps build a stronger community culture while easing the burden on HOA leadership.
If your board is exploring ways to reduce stress, improve communication, and build a stronger community culture, Level Property Management Group offers experienced community management support tailored to HOA needs. 📞 251.210.1664 to learn more or start a conversation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Why do many HOAs struggle with resident satisfaction?
Most issues stem from poor communication, lack of transparency, and inconsistent rule enforcement.
Q2: How can small HOAs overcome community association (HOA) challenges with limited budgets?
Focus on prioritizing essential services, renegotiating contracts, and encouraging volunteer involvement.
Q3: What is the biggest mistake HOA boards make?
Failing to document decisions and enforce rules consistently.
Q4: When should an HOA consider hiring professional association management?
An HOA should consider professional management when board members feel overwhelmed, resident conflicts increase, or the community grows beyond what volunteers can effectively manage.
Q5: Does association management replace the HOA board?
No. Association management supports the board by executing decisions and providing expertise, while the board retains full authority and decision-making power.
Q6: How do you reduce conflict between homeowners and the board?
Listen actively, communicate clearly, and explain the “why” behind decisions.
Q7: What does an association management company do?
An association management company handles daily operations such as communication, maintenance coordination, financial oversight, and rule enforcement, helping the board run the community more efficiently.
Q8: How can hiring a community manager improve our HOA’s long-term success?
Hiring a community manager provides consistent leadership, improves communication, and reduces conflict within the community. By handling daily operations and supporting the board, a community manager helps build a stronger community culture while allowing board members to focus on long-term planning and decision-making.

January does something magical in Baldwin County: it turns “someday” decisions into “let’s do this” plans.
Property owners are staring at a fresh calendar (and last year’s maintenance surprises). Investors are asking, “Is now a smart time to buy?” And Mardi Gras visitors are getting attached to Fairhope sunsets and Daphne charm… and quietly Googling rentals on the ride home.
So let’s make January useful. Not fluffy. Not “new year, new you.” More like: new year, better choices..
January is planning season for rental owners (and that’s a good thing)
If you own a rental—single-family, multi-family, or even a small portfolio—January is when your property either:
starts the year calmly, or
starts the year by setting your inbox on fire.
This is the month owners typically notice the “slow leaks” that quietly drain ROI:
Long vacancy gaps between tenants
Rent that’s slightly under market (death by a thousand dollars)
Deferred maintenance turning into emergency maintenance
Resident issues that never fully got handled
Vendors that are… let’s call them “creative with timelines”
The January advantage: you can fix systems before peak moving season ramps up in spring and summer.
Is January a good time to buy an investment property in Baldwin County?
It can be—if you’re buying strategically instead of emotionally (pretty porches are not a business plan, no matter how charming).
Why January can work in your favor
Less competition than spring: fewer buyers shopping aggressively can mean more negotiating room.
Serious sellers: some owners listed late in the year and are ready to make a deal.
Cleaner underwriting: you can review last year’s rent history, expenses, insurance changes, and real numbers—not vibes.
Time to stabilize before peak season: buy now, improve operations, and be positioned for spring/summer demand.
When January may not be the best move
If you’re rushing to “use new year motivation” as a financial strategy
If you don’t have reserves for repairs, insurance shifts, or vacancy
If you’re not sure whether the property will perform as a long-term rental (or needs a different approach)
Smart investor move: before you buy, get a rental performance reality check—market rent range, likely turn costs, maintenance risk, and what it would take to attract better residents.
Mardi Gras doesn’t just bring beads… it brings future residents
Baldwin County during Mardi Gras is basically a live-action lifestyle demo.
Visitors come for parades and parties—and leave thinking:
“Wait… people actually live like this?”
“Fairhope feels like a movie set.”
“Daphne is way closer to everything than I expected.”
“Foley is convenient and I didn’t hate traffic once.” (a rare southern miracle)
Here’s what happens next:
They go home
They start browsing homes and rentals “just for fun”
Then they realize relocating is… very real
Many choose to rent first, learn the area, and buy later
That “rent first” phase is a huge opportunity for rental owners—if your property is marketed and managed correctly.
Why “rent first” is a smart relocation strategy (and why rental owners should pay attention)
A lot of relocation buyers don’t buy immediately. They rent because they want to:
test neighborhoods (Fairhope vs Daphne vs Spanish Fort vs Foley is a real debate)
understand commute patterns and school zones
get through one full season here (hello, humidity and hurricane prep)
decide if they want waterfront, walkability, acreage… or “close to Target” convenience
Translation for owners: relocation renters tend to be motivated, organized, and willing to pay for the right home—especially when the process is smooth.
But they also expect:
fast responses
clean, professional leasing
clear policies
a home that’s actually move-in ready (not “mostly”)
Own a rental and thinking of selling this year? January can be your moment
Some owners start January with a blunt realization: “I don’t want to do this another year.”
If that’s you, you’re not failing. You’re making a strategic decision.
January can be a strong time to evaluate:
whether the rental still fits your financial goals
whether the property would perform better after operational fixes
whether listing now (before more spring inventory) makes sense
whether you’d rather exchange into a different type of investment
Key idea: you don’t have to choose between “keep suffering” and “sell tomorrow.” Sometimes the best answer is: stabilize, optimize, then decide.
If selling is part of your plan, our sister company Ashurst Niemeyer Real Estate can help. Give us a call and we will connect you with one of their expert advisors 251.210.1664. (Here’s a good read about selling in January.)
New Year checklist for rental owners (fast wins that protect ROI)
Here’s your “make January worth it” list:
Review your rent vs market rent (even a small gap adds up fast)
Tighten screening + lease enforcement so you stop attracting chaos
Create a clear repair approval policy so maintenance doesn’t become a daily negotiation
If reading that list made you tired, congratulations: you’re a normal human.
That’s exactly why property management exists.
What great property management changes (besides your blood pressure)
A solid management team doesn’t just “collect rent.” They protect and grow the value of the asset.
That looks like:
pricing that tracks the real market (not outdated guesses)
shorter vacancies through better marketing + faster leasing
consistent resident communication (so problems don’t snowball)
proactive maintenance that reduces expensive emergencies
financial reporting you can actually use to make decisions
local vendor relationships that get things done without drama
And if you’re also thinking about investing or selling? Even better—because you can make those moves with real data, not anecdotes.
Ready to make January your most profitable month—not your most stressful one?
If you’re a Baldwin County rental owner and you want:
less vacancy
better residents
stronger ROI
and fewer 10:47 PM maintenance texts
…then it’s time for a smarter system.

FAQ: January, investing, rental properties, and Mardi Gras relocation
Is January really a good time to invest in Baldwin County rentals? It can be. January often has less buyer competition than spring and gives you time to stabilize the property before peak moving season. The key is running the numbers with realistic rent, repairs, and reserves.
Do Mardi Gras visitors actually relocate here? Yes—Mardi Gras introduces people to the lifestyle and towns across Baldwin County. Many start by renting first, then buy after they learn the area.
Is renting first better than buying right away when relocating? Often, yes. Renting first helps people choose the right town, neighborhood, and lifestyle fit—especially if they’re new to the area.
What’s the biggest mistake rental owners make in January? Waiting until spring to “deal with it.” January is when you can fix pricing, maintenance, marketing, and systems before the busiest season starts.
How do I know if I should keep, sell, or reinvest? You need a quick performance snapshot: rent vs market, vacancy risk, repair outlook, and ROI. Once you see that, the decision usually gets clearer fast.
Happy New Year from Level Property Management Group! January is one of our favorite months along the Gulf Coast—cooler temps, fewer crowds, and a calendar packed with Mardi Gras “firsts,” winter concerts, big races, family-friendly attractions, and can’t-miss shows across Baldwin and Mobile Counties.

On the Alabama Gulf Coast, December usually brings three things: surprise humidity, pecan pie, and a sudden shift in the rental market. With tourists drifting home and snowbirds claiming every restaurant booth from Gulf Shores to Magnolia Springs, property management becomes part holiday magic, part strategic planning.
Whether you own rentals or you’re renting now and planning to buy soon — December might be your most important month.
For Renters Planning to Buy: Pay Attention to Incentives
If you’re currently renting anywhere from Foley to Spanish Fort and dreaming of ditching the landlord life, December could be your best exit strategy.
Many sellers are motivated before year-end, offering perks like:
Closing cost credits
Interest-rate buy-downs
Repair or upgrade allowances
Those incentives could shrink your upfront costs to the point where your mortgage payment rivals your rent.
📌 Tip: Ask your property manager (or our sister company, Ashurst Niemeyer Real Estate) to target motivated sellers, especially in areas like Daphne schools, Fairhope cottages, or Gulf Shores condos.
For Current Owners: Lighting = Higher ROI
If your home, duplex, or multi-unit property is on the rental market during December, lighting becomes one of the easiest ROI boosters.
Why? Most renters tour after work when the sun is practically gone. Dark properties look smaller and older.
How to improve showings instantly:
Install warm LED bulbs to avoid harsh lighting.
Add porch lighting and pathway lights for safety.
Use lamp-based lighting to soften bedrooms and living areas.
If decorated for the holidays, keep lights clean, minimal, and neutral — leave Santa inflatables out of it.
A brighter rental not only rents faster — it can justify slightly higher rent and attract higher-quality applicants.
Meeting, planning or hands on documents for tax audit report or financial statement in company. Accounting, business people or closeup of strategy for finance paperwork, logistics or data analysis.
For Investors: December Tax Advantages Are Real
Buying an investment property before December 31 isn’t just bold — it can be financially strategic.
Rental property purchased now may provide:
Depreciation for the year
Mortgage interest deductions
Property tax deductions
Opportunity for a 1031 exchange strategy in 2026
Whether it’s a four-plex in Loxley or a commercial unit in Bay Minette, a year-end purchase can set up a stronger investment return for next year.
📌 Tip: Run numbers with your CPA + a property management group before the transaction. You want income projections, maintenance estimates, and ROI calculations before a single string of lights goes up.
🎁 Final Thoughts for Baldwin County Owners
December isn’t “slow.” It’s strategic.
When renters look ahead, owners brighten their listings, and investors think like accountants, rental ROI increases.

The FAQ Letters Displayed on a Modern Office Desk Amidst a Professional Atmosphere
FAQs for December Rentals & Real Estate in Baldwin County, Alabama
1) Is December a good time to buy a house in Baldwin County?
Yes, December is one of the best times to buy in Baldwin County because many sellers offer year-end incentives like closing cost credits and interest-rate buy-downs. Motivated sellers are common in areas like Fairhope, Spanish Fort, Daphne schools, and Gulf Shores condos, especially when they’re relocating or clearing a property before year-end tax reporting.
2) Do sellers really offer financial incentives in December?
Yes. Many sellers offer incentives to close before December 31, including rate buy-downs, credits, or repairs. This is common in second-home markets like Orange Beach, where owners avoid carrying an extra year of taxes, insurance, and HOA fees.
3) Should I sell my house in December or wait until spring?
Selling in December can be smart because there’s less competition and buyers who are shopping now are usually more serious. Homes with holiday lighting + professional photos perform well in Fairhope, Daphne, and Montrose because warm lighting creates emotional appeal during darker winter afternoons.
4) How can lighting affect my home sale in December?
Lighting can increase offers because bright homes look larger, cleaner, and more updated in listing photos and showings. Warm LED lights, porch lighting, and simple holiday décor work especially well in shaded neighborhoods like Rock Creek and Malbis.
5) What tax benefits do investors get if they buy before December 31?
Investors who buy before December 31 may qualify for depreciation, mortgage interest deductions, and property tax advantages. This is especially valuable for Baldwin County rentals in Foley, Loxley, Bay Minette, and Gulf Shores, where steady rental demand supports long-term ROI.
6) Are there benefits for renters thinking about buying in December?
Yes. Renters may pay less upfront to buy because December sellers often reduce closing costs or fund rate buy-downs. This can make a mortgage cheaper than rent in markets like Spanish Fort, Daphne schools, and Foley.
7) Does holiday décor help or hurt a home sale?
Tasteful holiday décor helps a home sell by creating warmth, but large displays or inflatables can distract buyers. Subtle lighting, candles, greenery, and porch lights work best. Skip the 12-foot Santa in Point Clear.
8) Will my rental property lease faster with better lighting in December?
Yes. Rentals with bright interior and exterior lighting lease faster during winter because most tours happen after dark. Owners in Daphne, Midtown Foley, and Gulf Shores see fewer vacancies simply by upgrading bulbs to warm LEDs and adding entry lighting.
9) When should I talk to a CPA about buying or investing in December?
You should talk to a CPA before making a year-end purchase, not after closing. CPAs help structure depreciation and deductions correctly, which can save thousands for Baldwin County investors purchasing duplexes or beach properties.
10) Is it better to wait until after the holidays to start house hunting?
Not always. Waiting can mean losing access to seller incentives that disappear after January 1. December buyers in Baldwin County often save more money than buyers in January through March — especially in Fairhope, Spanish Fort, and Orange Beach.

If you’re ready to explore more than just local events—maybe a renting your home, talking about new commercial investments, or finding a rental to call home—we’re here to help. At Level Property Management Group, we’re all about connecting great people with great places.
Let us help you find a home that puts you in the heart of the community you love. Reach out today, and let’s make your next move the best one yet.
Owning commercial property can feel a bit like spinning plates — while juggling flaming torches — on a windy day. Between tenants, maintenance, leases, and spreadsheets that multiply overnight, it’s easy to see why there are so many questions.
That’s where we come in. At Level Property Management Group, we believe managing commercial properties shouldn’t require caffeine and crisis management skills. It should feel… level. So, let’s tackle the seven questions we hear most often — with straight answers, a little local wisdom, and maybe a grin or two.
1. How does residential management differ from commercial — and why do you need a specialist?
Managing residential vs. commercial properties is like comparing goldfish to Great Danes. They both need care, but try walking one on a leash.
Residential and commercial management might share a few basics — collect rent, maintain property, communicate — but that’s where the similarities end.
Commercial management deals with complex leases, longer tenant lifecycles, and customized maintenance schedules tied to business operations. You need a specialist who speaks fluent “lease clause” and understands that downtime means lost revenue. Residential know-how won’t cut it when your tenant’s business depends on every open hour.
That’s why specialization matters: a manager who understands build-outs, CAM reconciliations, and zoning nuances will protect your investment more effectively than a generalist ever could. That’s why Level Property Management Group has a commercial management division with different property managers and different teams.
2. How does professional management increase ROI on commercial properties?
Think of professional management as your investment’s personal trainer — minus the yelling. Professional management turns property ownership from reactive to strategic. Instead of waiting for issues to appear, a management team proactively prevents them — from tenant retention and maintenance planning to financial forecasting and rent optimization.
Level Property Management Group uses data-driven systems to track expenses, monitor market shifts, and identify profit leaks. A property managed well can command higher rents, experience less downtime, and build long-term asset value. In other words, ROI isn’t just a number — it’s a reflection of consistency, care, and local expertise.
The result? Less stress, fewer surprises, and a healthier ROI you can actually brag about at dinner.
3. What makes Level Property Management Group different from corporate firms?
Corporate firms often chase volume; Level chases value.
Because Level PMG is local, every decision — from contractor selection to tenant vetting — is made with Baldwin County insight. There’s no out-of-state call center or cookie-cutter solutions.
Clients get a full team with the technology of a large firm but the heart of a family business that’s been in local real estate for decades. That means faster response times, transparent communication, and long-term relationships instead of transactions.
4. How do you find and keep quality commercial tenants?
Finding great tenants is a bit like dating — everyone looks good on paper, but you need to know what you’re really getting. Finding good tenants starts long before a lease is signed. Level PMG’s team screens thoroughly — not just for credit or background but for compatibility and stability.
But retention is where ROI really grows. Regular communication, quick maintenance response, and fair market pricing build tenant trust. Happy tenants renew leases, take care of spaces, and treat your property like their own. The secret to high ROI isn’t turnover — it’s tenure.
5. What makes a great commercial tenant?
A great tenant doesn’t just pay on time — they align with the property’s purpose. In retail centers, that means businesses that complement each other. In office spaces, it’s reliable, stable operations that maintain traffic and consistency.
Level PMG evaluates potential tenants on longevity, reputation, and financial soundness. The goal isn’t to fill a space quickly — it’s to fill it wisely, with tenants who strengthen the asset and enhance long-term ROI. We match the right tenant to the right property — like a professional matchmaker with spreadsheets. Because when your tenants succeed, so does your investment.
6. Why does communication matter so much in commercial property management?
Commercial properties live and die by communication. Owners need real-time financials; tenants need fast maintenance responses; vendors need clear direction.
Without it, costs rise and relationships crumble. Level PMG’s technology platform ensures everyone stays informed — transparent statements, maintenance updates, and proactive check-ins.
Our systems keep everyone in sync, and our team actually answers the phone. Revolutionary, right? Good communication doesn’t just solve problems faster — it prevents them entirely.
7. What are the 3 biggest mistakes commercial property owners make?
Underestimating operating costs. Ignoring capital reserves or deferred maintenance erodes returns fast.
Managing reactively. Waiting until something breaks — a roof, a lease, or a relationship — costs more than proactive planning.
Flying solo. Managing commercial property alone is like DIY electrical work — impressive until it sparks.
Level PMG prevents all three by combining financial discipline, local insight, and preventive maintenance that keeps value growing year after year.
A Final Word
Property management doesn’t have to be complicated or corporate. It can be personal, purposeful, and yes — even pleasant.
At Level Property Management Group, we bring faith, local expertise, and technology together to make ownership easier, smarter, and more rewarding.

If you’re ready to explore more than just local events—maybe a new home, new investment, or new chapter—we’re here to help. At Level Property Management Group, we’re all about connecting great people with great places.
Let us help you find a home that puts you in the heart of the community you love. Reach out today, and let’s make your next move the best one yet.
If you’ve been waiting for the “right moment” to buy, October could be it. National experts are pointing to mid-October as the most buyer-friendly window of the year.
Realtor.com explains: “By mid-October, buyers across much of the country may finally find the combination of inventory, pricing, and negotiating power they’ve been waiting for …”
That means October often delivers:
More homes to choose from
Fewer competing buyers
More time to shop deliberately
Better price flexibility
Sellers who are more willing to negotiate
For real estate investors, timing, leverage, and strategy matter even more than for owner-occupant buyers. If you’re shopping to grow a rental portfolio in Baldwin County, October presents good investment opportunities — lower competition, more inventory, better negotiating power — all while interest rates ease.
But every market is different — so let’s look at what’s happening here in Baldwin County.
Baldwin County Market Snapshot — August & September 2025
The latest Baldwin Realtors® data shows some important late-summer shifts:
Fairhope: Average selling prices stayed high through summer, hovering near $650K in July–August before dipping closer to $600K in September.
Daphne: Held steady in the $360K–$390K range, with a slight softening in September.
Foley: Mid-range prices between $370K–$400K, but stood out with the strongest September activity, closing 104 homes — the highest among Baldwin County cities.
Spanish Fort: Remains one of the most affordable options, with average prices just above $300K and a steady pace of sales.
Gulf Shores: Peaked above $680K in August before sliding closer to $600K in September — still among the priciest and most competitive coastal markets.
Mortgage Rates — September’s Surprise Dip
One more reason October looks promising: mortgage rates finally dipped in September.
The Federal Reserve cut rates in mid-September, and 30-year fixed mortgages fell to around 6.4% — the lowest level of 2025 so far.
Analysts expect rates could drift slightly lower toward the low-6’s by year-end, with the potential to drop below 6% in 2026.
This means Baldwin County buyers are entering fall with the best borrowing conditions of the year.
Perfect Timing : Winter is Your Secret Weapon
A big difference for investors: you’re not just grabbing a home — you often need to rehab, improve, and position the asset before leasing or resale.
Use winter (off-peak season) to your advantage:
Contractor availability & pricing: During slower months, contractors may have capacity and offer lower rates.
Lead time for permits and work: Use winter to permit, repair, upgrade, paint, etc., so your property is market-ready by spring or summer.
Less disruption, more flexibility: Because fewer buyers are shopping in winter, you can schedule work with more breathing room.
This prep sets you up to list (or lease) in the spring, when buyer/renter demand and activity are strongest.
The Best Time to Sell? Spring Still Wins for Traditional Sales
If you ever plan to offload a property via a traditional sale, the spring/early summer window is still powerful:
Realtor.com’s research shows that the week of April 13–19 tends to produce premium listing performance (more views, higher prices). (Realtor)
Real estate seasonality is real: April through June is peak season for buyer activity, shorter days on market, and greater price competition. (Nar Realtor)
By preparing your property over the winter (landscaping, curb appeal, minor renovations), you can hit the spring listing window with confidence.
So your sell strategy could be:
Acquire in October
Use winter to rehab / prep
List in spring for top dollar
Final Takeaway
For investors, the playbook is clear: buy now while conditions favor you, improve properties smartly over the winter, and position them to lease or sell during the spring surge.

When it comes to owning or investing in multi-family properties, the difference between profit and headache often lies in how your property is managed. Too many apartment managers fall into the “rent collector” trap—showing up for the checks and emergencies, but not treating the property like a real business.
But a property is a business. And when it’s managed like one, it can generate consistent cash flow, steady appreciation, and satisfied tenants who stay longer.
So how do you know if your apartment manager is running your property like a business—or just coasting along? Let’s break it down.
1. Do They Track and Report Key Metrics?
Rent collection is just the baseline. A professional apartment manager provides monthly financial statements, occupancy reports, maintenance logs, and expense tracking.
Business-minded managers: Provide clear reporting, highlight trends (like rising maintenance costs), and give you insights for smarter decisions.
Rent collectors: Hand you a check and hope you don’t ask questions.
In Baldwin and Mobile Counties, where rental competition is heating up, tracking metrics like tenant turnover rates, per-unit expenses, and revenue per square foot can mean the difference between outperforming the market and falling behind.
2. Are They Focused on Tenant Retention—Or Just Filling Vacancies?
Keeping good tenants is one of the fastest ways to maximize ROI in multi-family investments.
Business-minded managers: Screen tenants thoroughly, respond quickly to service requests, and invest in preventative maintenance. They know tenant experience directly impacts your bottom line.
Rent collectors: Focus only on filling units fast, often overlooking long-term satisfaction.
Every turnover can cost thousands in lost rent, cleaning, marketing, and concessions. If your manager isn’t paying attention to tenant retention, you’re losing money.
3. Do They Proactively Protect Your Property Value?
A true apartment manager acts as a steward of your investment.
Business-minded managers: Schedule regular inspections, budget for capital improvements, and bring you proactive recommendations that protect and grow property value.
Rent collectors: Call you when something breaks—and usually when it’s already too late.
In our coastal Alabama market, where humidity, storms, and salt air can wreak havoc, proactive maintenance is more than nice—it’s necessary to keep properties profitable.
4. Do They Understand Local Market Dynamics?
Running apartments successfully in Baldwin and Mobile Counties means staying in tune with local rental demand, seasonal leasing trends, and shifting regulations.
Business-minded managers: Bring you data-driven strategies, competitive rent pricing, and local expertise that aligns with your investment goals.
Rent collectors: Simply set the rent and hope tenants sign.
When you partner with a management team who lives and works locally, you benefit from knowledge that outsiders miss—like which neighborhoods are attracting the fastest growth or how to market to renters moving from Mobile to Baldwin County.
Final Takeaway: Rent Collectors Cost You Money
If your apartment or multi-family property manager isn’t:
Tracking and reporting financials
Building tenant loyalty
Protecting property value
Using local expertise
…then they’re not running a business. They’re just collecting rent.
At Level Property Management Group, we do more than rent collection—we run your property like the business it is. That means maximizing revenue, minimizing expenses, protecting your assets, and keeping your tenants happy.
Because when your property manager thinks like a business owner, your property performs like an investment.

Insider Tips from Baldwin County’s Trusted Commercial Property Managers
If you own commercial property in Baldwin County or Mobile, AL, you’re sitting on serious income potential—but only if you’re managing it like a pro. At Level Property Management Group, we’ve spent decades helping owners unlock hidden profits by tracking three core metrics.
This isn’t just theory—it’s what the most profitable property owners in our market actually do to stay ahead.
1. Occupancy Rate vs. Vacancy Cost
Insider Insight: Vacancy is more expensive than you think.
Many owners look at occupancy percentage and pat themselves on the back. But the most successful investors go deeper and track the cost of every vacant day. If you’re not analyzing the actual vacancy cost in your P&L, you’re missing hidden losses.
Behind the curtain: In Gulf Shores, we’ve seen vacancy costs (not including loss of rent revenue) reach over $1,000 per month per unit, especially in retail strips with higher utility and security expenses. What’s more, properties that sit empty longer tend to attract less desirable tenants—a cycle that’s hard to break without help.
Leasing Tip: Savvy owners are staggering lease terms and offering small buildout incentives to reduce downtime.
2. Tenant Retention Rate
Insider Insight: A happy tenant is worth their weight in rent.
A well-placed tenant in Foley or Downtown Fairhope can stay for 5–10 years—if managed right. Owners who spend just a little time tracking renewal data and improving communication enjoy stronger cash flow and fewer headaches.
What we see in the field: In Loxley and Fairhope, we’ve heard about tenants moving out over unanswered maintenance requests or unclear lease renewal terms—both preventable. Owners working with a management company like Level Property Management Group often retain 85% or more of tenants year-over-year.
Local Power Move: Top owners (or their management companies) send out annual satisfaction surveys and use that feedback to make small but impactful improvements—like better parking lot lighting or more frequent HVAC checks.
3. Net Operating Income (NOI) per Square Foot
Insider Insight: This is the ultimate profitability checkpoint.
NOI per square foot gives you apples-to-apples data across properties and units. It shows you where you’re winning—and where you’re bleeding cash.
Real-world example: One owner in Daphne was losing money on what seemed like a great office building—until we calculated NOI per square foot. Turns out a back-corner suite with chronic turnover and high utility usage was quietly draining profit. A reconfiguration and new long-term tenant turned the entire building’s performance around.
Regional Reality: In Baldwin County, office and medical space generally outperforms small retail in NOI/sqft, especially near growth corridors like Highway 181 and 59. But only if operating expenses are watched like a hawk.
Want to Maximize Your Property’s Earnings?
Tracking the right numbers separates high earners from frustrated landlords. And if it feels like a lot to handle, you’re not alone—many of our clients started out feeling overwhelmed too.
At Level Property Management Group, we specialize in commercial property management in Baldwin County, Alabama—and we’re here to help you make every square foot count.
Let’s talk strategy. Whether you own a strip mall in Daphne, a medical office in Mobile, or an industrial property in Robertsdale, we’ll show you exactly how to turn data into more dollars.

Here’s how each city stacks up when considering both sides of the equation:
📍Daphne
Sales Market:
Active Listings: 415
Avg Days on Market (Sales): 64 (down from 66 July 2024)
Avg Selling Price: $398K (up from $389K July 2024)
Market Lean:Balanced with a slight tilt toward sellers
Rental Market:
Active Rentals: 26
Avg Rental Price: $1,813/month
Avg Rental DOM: 38
Investor Insight: Daphne is performing well on both fronts. Homes are selling faster, prices are rising, and rentals are moving quickly at stable rates. This is a solid hold or buy market. Investors can benefit from potential lower vacancy risk and healthy resale value, especially in family-friendly neighborhoods and newer developments.
📍 Fairhope
🏠 Sales Market:
Active Listings: 498
Avg Days on Market (Sales): 82 (up from 54 July 2024)
Avg Selling Price: $671K (up significantly from $582K July 2024)
Market Lean:Moderate seller’s market, slowing in pace
🏡 Rental Market:
Active Rentals: 28
Avg Rental Price: $2,246/month
Avg Rental DOM: 45
Investor Insight: Fairhope offers strong rental rates and major gains in resale value. However, increased sales DOM suggests buyers are becoming more selective. This could be a good time for long-term owners to capitalize on equity and sell, especially for higher-end or vacant rentals. For buyers, the entry point is steep, so strategy is key. Upscale rentals perform best.
📍 Spanish Fort
🏠 Sales Market:
Active Listings: 202
Avg Days on Market (Sales): 83 (steady from 81 July 2024)
Avg Selling Price: $446K (up from $422K July 2024)
Market Lean:Moderate seller’s market
🏡 Rental Market:
Active Rentals: 13
Avg Rental Price: $2,330/month
Avg Rental DOM: 37
Investor Insight: Spanish Fort remains a top-tier investment location. High rental prices, fast leasing, and rising sales values show strong demand on both sides of the market. If you already own here—hold. If you’re buying, be ready to compete. This is a prime market for low vacancy, high cash flow, and resale upside.
📍 Foley
🏠 Sales Market:
Active Listings: 536
Avg Days on Market (Sales): 91 (up from 75 July 2024)
Avg Selling Price: $345K (up from $339K July 2024)
Market Lean:Balanced market with growing buyer power
🏡 Rental Market:
Active Rentals: 24
Avg Rental Price: $1,800/month
Avg Rental DOM: 44
Investor Insight: Foley offers a lower entry price and stable rental demand. With increasing sales inventory and longer DOM, buyers have leverage. This could be a smart time to acquire rentals below market value, especially in established neighborhoods. Slightly slower leasing times suggest the need for competitive pricing and great curb appeal to attract quality tenants.
📍 Gulf Shores
🏠 Sales Market:
Active Listings: 1,169
Avg Days on Market (Sales): 122 (up from 115 July 2024)
Avg Selling Price: $690K (up from $608K July 2024)
Market Lean:Inventory-heavy seller’s market with long timelines
🏡 Rental Market:
Active Rentals: 8
Avg Rental Price: $1,893/month
Avg Rental DOM: 100
Investor Insight: Gulf Shores presents a high-risk/high-reward scenario. Sales prices are up significantly, but homes are taking time to move. Rental vacancy is very high with 100+ DOM, likely due to seasonal slowdowns or oversupply of vacation-style homes. This is a good time to sell if your rental is underperforming or requires work. Buyers should proceed with caution—stick to year-round rental demand zones, not just beach-adjacent properties.

Keeping tenants happy isn’t just about making them smile—it’s about saving you time and money.
Happy tenants stick around longer, pay rent on time, and take better care of the property. Here’s how you can keep them smiling (without breaking the bank)!We’re talking $3000 – $7500 in savings or more! Check out this article for the breakdown.
1. Be Quick to Respond—Like, Really Quick
You don’t need a cape, but when tenants reach out, don’t leave them hanging. Quick responses show you care. Even if you don’t have a fix right away, letting them know you’re on it makes them feel heard and valued. A fast reply says, “I’ve got your back!”
2. Active Listening: Let Them Vent (It’s Free!)
Sometimes, tenants just need to vent. Let them! You don’t have to have all the answers, just listen and acknowledge their concerns. A little empathy goes a long way—and it shows you’re not just solving problems, you’re solving their problems.
3. Keep Up with Preventative Maintenance
Don’t wait for that roof to leak to fix it. Routine checkups can prevent major repairs that hit your wallet hard. Plus, staying ahead of maintenance shows your tenants you care about their comfort—and you’re not waiting for an emergency to act.
4. Create a Hassle-Free Maintenance System
Make it simple for tenants to submit maintenance requests. The easier it is for them to reach you, the happier they’ll be. A straightforward online system or a dedicated email gets things done faster, and they’ll appreciate the streamlined process.
5. Keep Them in the Loop
Transparency is everything. If something’s broken, let your tenants know when it’ll be fixed. If there’s a delay, keep them updated. Being upfront and communicative builds trust and shows you’re on top of things.
6. Follow Up—Because You Care
After you’ve fixed an issue, circle back to make sure all is well. It’s a simple step that shows you genuinely care about their comfort. And hey, if they’re singing your praises, now’s the time to ask for a Google review! (Almost 10% of new property owners at Level PMG come from our Google reviews!)
7. Surprise Them (In a Good Way)
Who doesn’t love a good surprise? A thoughtful gift, a thank-you note, or even homemade cupcakes shows your tenants they’re appreciated. These little gestures build goodwill and won’t cost you much. Trust me, a surprise gift is worth its weight in tenant loyalty.
8. Host Fun Community Events
Who doesn’t love free food? BBQs, coffee hours, or even happy hours in a common area can create a sense of community. Tenants who know their neighbors are way less likely to leave. (Okay, so it’s not technically free, but it’s still a fun way to build connections!)
9. Offer Referral Rewards
Want tenants to bring in their friends? Reward them! A small rent discount or gift card can go a long way. Not only will this keep your property full, but happy tenants mean fewer vacancies—and fewer vacancies mean more cash flow. (And no more crazy advertising costs!)
10. Show Appreciation
It’s the small things that matter most. A simple “Thank you for being a great tenant” note can go a long way. Acknowledge positive behavior, like paying on time or keeping the place in great shape. When tenants feel appreciated, they stick around longer—and that means more stability for your bottom line.
Keeping Them Happy, Keeps the Cash Flowing
Happy tenants mean more money in your pocket (plus fewer headaches and nicer people!) —whether it’s fewer vacancies, fewer repairs, or more referrals. By communicating well, staying on top of maintenance, and fostering a sense of community, you’ll have tenants who stick around, take care of your property, and help keep your business thriving.
It’s that simple. Start implementing these tips today and watch the savings roll in.
Need Help?
Keeping tenants happy takes some time and effort—but it’s worth it. Need help keeping your tenants smiling and your property running smoothly? Contact Level Property Management today, and let’s talk about how we can make your life easier—and more profitable!
If you’re an apartment owner or manage a few duplexes, you may have wondered at some point is there’s an easy way to save thousands on your multi-family property? The answer is YES!
Here’s the secret: Happy tenants. That’s it. When your tenants are happy, they stick around longer, pay rent on time, take better care of the property—and it all adds up to big savings for you. And the best part? It’s easier than you think. We’ll be sharing 10 easy (and free!) ways to keep your tenants smiling. You won’t believe how simple it can be to create a happier, more loyal tenant base!
Still skeptical? Here’s some real data to show why happy tenants are your golden ticket:
Tenant Retention: Happy tenants stay longer. In fact, according to the National Apartment Association, happy tenants tend to stay an average of 3 years, while unhappy tenants pack up after just 1.5 to 2 years. Less turnover? Yes, please!
Turnover Costs: Unhappy tenants will cost you big time. Rentec Direct found that tenant turnover can cost you anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 per unhappy tenant. That’s money you could spend on… literally anything else.
Rent Payments: When tenants are happy, they pay on time! Buildium found that 85% of satisfied tenants pay rent on time, while only 50% of dissatisfied tenants do. Time to start thinking of them as your personal ATM.
Referrals & Reputation: Happy tenants aren’t just sticking around—they’re spreading the word. Zillow says 70% of happy tenants will recommend your property to others. That means more reliable tenants without the need for costly advertising. Cha-ching!
Maintenance Requests: Happy tenants don’t bug you about every little thing. According to TenantCloud, happy tenants request fewer maintenance services, saving you time and money. Unhappy tenants? Expect a lot of “My faucet is dripping” and “The light bulb blew out!” (eye roll).
Repairs: Unhappy tenants tend to leave you with more than just complaints—they also damage your property. PropertyNest says unhappy tenants cause damage that costs $1,000 to $2,500 per incident. Ouch! Happy tenants are less likely to cause issues, and that means fewer repair bills.
So, now that we know why keeping your tenants happy is so important, let’s talk about how you can make that happen.
Stay, Sell, or Strategize? What Fairhope Rental Owners Need to Know Right Now.
If you’re a rental property owner in Fairhope—or anywhere along the Eastern Shore—you’ve probably noticed some changes lately. Maybe your property is sitting longer than it used to. Maybe tenant inquiries have slowed. Maybe you’re wondering if it’s time to sell while values are still strong.
We’re here to give you the real story behind Fairhope’s current rental market—and what smart property owners should be doing right now. Here’s what the data—and the trends—are telling us.
Fairhope Rental Market Snapshot (July 2025)
Fairhope Days on Market (DOM) • Realtor.com reports rental listings in Fairhope now average 78 days on market. • Baldwin Realtors MLS: 22 active listings, averaging 55 days on market.
By contrast, the national average DOM is between 36–52 days, meaning Fairhope is moving slower than most U.S. markets.
In short: Pricing is holding steady for homes, but smaller or older rentals are seeing downward pressure.
Fairhope Vacancy Rate • Estimated at 11.6% (vs. national avg of 7.1%), signaling higher supply and tenant selectiveness.
Comparison: Nearby Markets
Let’s compare Fairhope with nearby rental markets:
These figures reflect currently active rental listings in the Baldwin Realtors MLS as of July 21, 2025. They represent asking prices—not actual leased rates—and not all of these homes will rent at the prices listed. In fact, properties that are overpriced or not properly positioned for today’s market are sitting longer and may require price reductions or improvements to attract qualified tenants.
Property owners who price strategically, maintain well-presented listings, and work with an experienced management team (like Level Property Management Group) can still see strong returns and low vacancy loss.
Level Property Management Group’s current average is just 46 days on market, with an average rental price of $2,073. That’s 5 days faster and just a few cents per day lower than the Baldwin County average.
Important Market Note: The Daphne–Fairhope–Foley MSA saw the largest rent drop among small metros nationally: −3.4% YoY.
Should You Sell Your Rental Property Right Now?
It’s a question we’re hearing from a lot of owners right now—and the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Consider Selling If… • Your property has sat vacant for longer than 60 days AND • You’ve had to reduce rent multiple times just to get showings. • You want to cash out now before further price softening AND • You’re considering reallocating equity—for example, selling in Fairhope and buying in Spanish Fort where demand is higher.
Baldwin County home sales trends also matter here: Home sales have softened countywide in the past few months, with longer days on market and more price reductions. We are tipping into more of a buyer’s market —so if you plan to sell, sooner may be better than later.
You May Want to Hold If… • Your property is still generating positive (or even break-even) cash flow AND • You have a long-term investment strategy in place. • You want to build wealth over time. • Your rental serves as a future income stream (e.g., retirement, college fund). • Your mortgage has a low interest rate, making holding less expensive.
Not Sure What to Do? Here’s How to Decide:
Before you rush into a sale take a moment to think strategically.
Analyze Your Financials. Know your net cash flow, upcoming expenses, and future appreciation potential.
Evaluate the Market Conditions. Fairhope is slower right now, but what have the last two years looked like? What’s expected over the next five years? Nearby Spanish Fort is hot – why? Consulting an advisor and taking a deeper dive into the data could shape your decision.
Consider Your Long-Term Goals. Are you building wealth for retirement, do you count on this income today, or are you looking to simplify?
Consult a Financial Advisor. Especially helpful if you’re considering tax implications, a 1031 exchange, or restructuring your investments.
Don’t Rush It. A hasty sale could leave money on the table. Take the time to weigh your options.
Explore Creative Options. For example, a lease-to-own agreement could attract better tenants and give you flexibility if you’re not quite ready to sell.
Optimize. Now is a great time to optimize your property through smart upgrades to make sure your investment can compete with new construction and updated properties going forward.
Work With a Team That Has You Covered—No Matter What You Decide. At Level Property Management Group, we don’t just manage homes—we partner with you to grow your investment. And because we work hand-in-hand with our sister company, Ashurst Niemeyer Real Estate, we can help you sell smart, buy smart, or simply maximize your rental ROI.
✅ Want to sell in Fairhope and buy a rental in Spanish Fort? ✅ Want to lease it one more year and test the market later? ✅ Want to offload your property and reinvest in something turnkey?
For Level PMG property owners, we make it easy. We know the market, we know you, your property, and your goals. Our sister company, Ashurst Niemeyer is a boutique real estate advisory firm with generations of knowledge in Baldwin County. When it comes time to list or buy, you’re not starting from scratch—you’re working with a team that already knows your property, your tenants, your market, and what makes your investments tick.
Final Takeaway
Fairhope’s rental market is cooling, but not crashing. Smart owners still have choices: • Hold for long-term gains in a stable, landlord-friendly market. • Adjust, improve, and lease more strategically. • Sell now before conditions soften further.

Ready to Experience the Best of Baldwin & Mobile County? We’ll Help You Feel Right at Home.
As we wrap up our journey through all the fun and festivities happening in Fairhope, Daphne, Mobile, Foley, Gulf Shores, and beyond, it’s clear that Coastal Alabama is more than a place—it’s a way of life. And when you have a team like Level Property Management Group by your side, that life is easier, smoother, and a lot more enjoyable.
Whether you’re a homeowner looking for a trusted partner to manage your rental property, a tenant looking for a welcoming place to call home, or a community association seeking responsive, professional support—we’re here to help you thrive where you live.
📞 Give us a call or visit our website to learn how we make property management simple, smart, and community-driven.
Hey there, Baldwin County property owners—let’s have a real talk. If you’re managing your own rental home around Fairhope, Daphne, Foley, or Gulf Shores, you might be thinking you’re doing the smart, cost-effective thing. After all, who knows your property better than you, right?
But here’s the hard truth most self-managing landlords don’t realize until it’s too late: self-managing your rental might be quietly draining your profits, your time, and your peace of mind.
Let’s pull back the curtain on the hidden costs of going it alone and show you how professional property management could actually increase your bottom line.
Empty Homes Don’t Pay the Bills
Down here, rental demand is high—but so is competition. A month-long vacancy in a $1,500 rental means you’re out $1,500 plus utilities, lawn care, pest control… and don’t forget your mortgage and taxes.
Every day your rental sits empty, you’re bleeding money. That “just one month” of vacancy could cost you a couple thousand dollars—not to mention the stress and time spent trying to market the property, screen tenants, and handle showings.
Professional managers have tools, marketing departments, and networks to fill properties faster, often cutting vacancy time in half. That’s money in your pocket.
Bad Tenants? Bless Your Heart… and Your Wallet
Tenant screening isn’t just about checking credit scores. It’s about spotting red flags, verifying income, contacting previous landlords, and reading between the lines.
A bad tenant can lead to:
Missed rent payments
Property damage
Legal headaches and costly evictions
There’s nothing worse than a tenant who trashes your place, ghosts on rent, or turns into a legal nightmare. And unfortunately, Baldwin County isn’t immune to bad renters.
Here’s what the average eviction might cost you in Baldwin County:
Action
Approximate Cost
Notice of Appeal filing fee
$260–$360
Legal fees
$500–$10,000
Locksmith fees
$160
Storage for abandoned belongings
Varies (and stacks up fast)
And that doesn’t include missed rent or repair costs. We’ve seen landlords stuck with pet damage, mold from ignored leaks, and even leftover “collections” that should never be found in a kitchen cabinet. A thorough screening process is your best defense—and we do it daily.
One bad tenant could cost you thousands. A good property manager reduces that risk with thorough screening and experience.
DIY Fever Costs More than You Think
You might think you’re saving money by hiring a handyman from Craigslist or fixing that leaky faucet yourself. Sure, you’re handy. Maybe you can change a lock, patch a wall, or YouTube your way through a busted disposal. But the real question is: should you?
Time is money—and DIY repairs aren’t always cheaper:
Repeated “cheap fixes” can lead to repeat issue and even bigger problems down the line.
Unlicensed repairs can become liability nightmares.
Unknown handymen can lead to tenant problems or poor workmanship
Storm damage? We’ve seen small roof leaks turn into full-blown insurance claims because no one caught them in time.
A good property management company has thoroughly vetted vendors and volume discounts. That means faster repairs at better prices—and fewer 2 a.m. emergency calls for you.
At Level Property Management Group, our maintenance team handles it all—fast, right, and according to budget.Plus, we’re local and have 24/7/365 phone service and emergency dispatch to handle those middle of the night-mares.
Emotional Decisions + Rentals = Trouble
When you’re personally involved with a property, it’s easy to let emotions guide your decisions. We get it. Maybe that tenant just lost their job. Maybe their story tugs at your heartstrings. But here’s the hard truth: this is a business.
That empathy is admirable—but emotions don’t balance the books.
Letting a tenant slide “just this once” turns into three months of unpaid rent. Installing granite counters because you like them doesn’t mean you’ll get more rent.
A property manager brings objectivity and a business mindset, helping you make data-driven decisions that protect your investment. Our job is to keep things professional, objective, and profitable. We make decisions based on market trends, data, and return on your investment.
Tax Time Shouldn’t Feel Like a Root Canal
Closeup portrait young terrified girl woman scared at dentist visit, siting in chair, screaming, opened mouth, doesn’t want dental procedure drilling tooth extraction isolated clinic office background
You could be missing deductions or misclassifying expenses—costing you even more. If you’re tracking expenses on napkins or trying to remember what that $782 “fix” in April was, you’re leaving money on the table. And maybe waving a red flag to the IRS.
Property management fees? 100% tax deductible. So is mileage, repairs, marketing costs, and even storm prep costs—if you’ve got the paperwork to prove it.
We give you clear monthly reports, 1099s at year-end, and help you make tax season less awful.
Your Time is Worth More Than You Think
Let’s say you spend 6 hours a month on your rental, which is the average for one rental when yu have a great tenant and everything’s going smoothly.
Answering texts. Coordinating maintenance or repairs. Running background checks. Waiting for no-shows. Driving to meet vendors. Posting on Facebook Marketplace for the tenth time.
If your time is worth $50/hour (and we bet it is), that’s $3,600 a year you’re “spending” managing your own rental. That’s before factoring in stress, phone calls, drive-bys, or dealing with late-night emergencies.
Property managers typically charge 8-10% of monthly rent, and that cost pays for itself (and then some) in increased efficiency, rent collection, tenant quality, your time, and peace of mind.
Bonus: Storm Prep Isn’t Optional on the Gulf Coast
In Coastal Alabama, hurricane season isn’t just a headline—it’s a real concern. If your rental isn’t boarded up, secured, and documented before a storm hits, you could be in for a nasty surprise when it’s over.
At Level, we keep tabs on all our properties before, during, and after severe weather. We know who to call, what to document for insurance, and how to get repairs rolling fast. That’s a lot of guidance and peace of mind self-managing landlords rarely have.
Ready to Stop the Profit Bleed?
Self-managing your single-family rental might feel like the budget-friendly option—but in Baldwin County, it’s often the most expensive one. Between lost rent, legal risks, hidden costs, and wasted time, that DIY mindset could be costing you thousands each year.
If you want to stop the bleeding, increase your profit, and finally relax a little, let us take the wheel.
Let Level Property Management Group show you a better way. We specialize in maximizing ROI for single-family rental owners across the Gulf Coast. From tenant screening to 24/7 maintenance, we do the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to.
👉 Let’s talk. Your profits (and your peace of mind) are worth it. Call today – 251.210.1664.

Friday, March 28, 2025 – Sunday, April 6, 2025 Monster in the Closet Emily has a big problem. Not only is she sent to bed just as she reaches the highest level of her new video game, but there’s a monster in her closet! Emily plans a sleep-over to help capture the monster. What they don’t know is that Murray, the closet monster, doesn’t mean any harm. After all, every monster knows that when a child is born, a monster is assigned to watch over her — not to play with her toys and especially not to get caught in the act!
