Riverwest Property Management
Property management for Riverwest investors. A 98% occupancy rate, 97.2% placement rate, and a 88.76% lease renewal rate.
The Gap Between Rent Collected And Returns Earned
Riverwest is one of Milwaukee's most distinctive rental markets. The duplex-heavy housing stock, the artistic and working-class character of the neighborhood, and a renter base that ranges from UWM students to creative professionals to long-time residents create a market that rewards owners who understand it and punishes owners who treat it like any other neighborhood.
Performance Asset Management (PAM) has managed Riverwest properties since 2010. Our residents renew at 88.76%, well above the industry average of 54%, which keeps your cash flow stable in a neighborhood where finding the right next resident can be a challenge.
Rent Collection vs Asset Management
Most property managers collect rent. PAM runs your property as the asset it is, with numbers to show what that earns you.
8% of Collected Rent
Capped at $250 per month. Fees waived when the property is vacant. No trip charges, no setup fees, no termination fees.

What The Market Looks Like Right Now
Riverwest's character is unmistakably bohemian: artists, musicians, and creatives alongside students drawn by proximity to UWM. Kilbourn Reservoir Park, the Beer Line Trail, Kern Park, and the Riverwest Dog Park give it a lived-in community feel rare this close to downtown. It's walkable and welcoming by day, though the neighborhood immediately north sees a disproportionate share of the city's drug activity, which occasionally spills into surrounding blocks after dark.
Residents tend to be college graduates in their 20s and 30s, and the local scene runs deep: the Uptowner, Mad Planet, the Daily Bird, Dropout Fight Club, She Wolf MKE, the Pink House, Nessun Dorma, and Black Husky Brewing.
