Illustrative photoTwo ways to rent. Either way you get an agent in your corner, and the building pays for it, not you.
One contact for your whole search. We send you a shortlist of buildings, tour them with you in person, and negotiate your deal. Just write “Pony Up Properties Group” on your application when you apply.
Already know where you want to live because you saw one of our property ads? Tour on your own time. File a claim before you contact or tour the building, then write “Pony Up Properties Group” on your application when you apply. We rebate a portion of our commission back to you.
Claim your cash back →Instead of four years of rent, some families buy a condo or house near campus. The student lives there, roommates can pay rent toward the mortgage, and after graduation the family still owns the property and can keep it, lease it or sell it.
We look at your budget, your timeline, and whether buying makes more sense than renting for your family.
Condos, townhomes, and small houses near campus that work for students now and as rentals later.
How many roommates, what they pay, and how that rent offsets the monthly payment.
Keep it as a rental, hand it to a younger sibling, or sell. We plan for graduation before you buy.
We are not lenders or tax advisors. Talk with your lender and CPA about financing and taxes, and we can introduce lenders who work with family purchases.
Renting or buying, most steps can happen from home: video tours, digital applications and signatures, and remote online notarization for closings when the lender and title company accept it. Add a parent or roommate to the text thread and everyone sees the same options.
Rental cash back requires a claim filed before first contact with the property and is paid from referral fees actually received from the property. Pony Up Properties Group is brokered by Spirit Real Estate Group and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Southern Methodist University.
