About Alpine Property Management
Locally owned and operated in Kansas City since 2013. We built Alpine to give remote and local investors a property manager they can actually trust.
Alpine Property Management is a locally owned, investor focused property manager serving the Kansas City metro since 2013. Founded and run by Marcus and Cara Painter, Alpine manages 250 plus doors of single family and small multifamily rentals for local and out of state owners, handling leasing, screening, maintenance, rent collection, and reporting for one transparent tiered fee with no junk fees.
Our story
Alpine Property Management was founded in 2013 by Marcus and Cara Painter. We started by managing a handful of rentals in the Kansas City metro and grew the company one satisfied owner at a time. Today Alpine manages 250 plus doors for investors across the country, with a team that treats every property like it is our own.
We built Alpine around a problem we kept seeing. Out of state investors were buying in Kansas City for the cash flow, then struggling to find a manager who actually answered the phone, reported honestly, and protected the investment. So we built the company we would want to hire. Local, transparent, and measured by your return rather than by how many doors we can add.
Who runs Alpine
Marcus and Cara Painter own and lead Alpine together. Marcus is the founder and owner and leads strategy, operations, and the systems that keep hundreds of rentals running smoothly. Cara Painter is a co founder and owner and a licensed real estate broker in both Missouri and Kansas, and she brings more than twelve years in real estate, property management, and operations to the business. Behind them is a dedicated local team handling tenant relations, owner accounts, onboarding, and construction, so nothing falls through the cracks. You can meet everyone below.
What makes Alpine different
Plenty of companies will manage your property. Here is what sets Alpine apart for an investor.
- Investor focused, not homeowner focused. Most of our owners are investors, many of them remote. Every decision we make is measured against your return, your occupancy, and your net income, not against a homeowner checklist.
- Transparent tiered pricing. Our management fee scales with the rent we collect, from 10 percent under 999 dollars down to 5 percent at 2,500 dollars and up. There are no junk fees, no undisclosed charges, and nothing buried in the contract.
- Local owners who answer the phone. Alpine is not a national franchise or a call center. When something goes wrong, you reach a local team that knows your property and the Kansas City market, and we handle it before it becomes your problem.
- Both sides of the state line. We manage across the entire metro, Missouri and Kansas, and we know the different landlord rules, licensing requirements, and rental submarkets on each side.
- Proven, measurable results. Our owners average 96 percent occupancy, 98 percent rent collection, and a 14 day average vacancy between tenants. Those are the numbers that decide whether a rental makes money.

Belay
Alpine's Automation, Not a Person
Belay is the name we gave the systems that run behind the team. In climbing, the belay is the line that catches you, and you rarely see it working. It sends reminders, files paperwork, and keeps every request moving around the clock. It never answers the phone. When you call, a person on this team picks up or calls you back.
