About
My name is Dylan Boswell, and I am the local owner of KindHost in Santa Monica. A few things make my business unique. I have transparent pricing, which means no hidden fees. My tenant screening approach keeps your property safe and helps you avoid evictions or tenant drama. I carefully screen tenants, making sure they have 700+ credit, income 3x rent, savings 6x rent, clean background check, no eviction history, and strong employer and landlord references. I'm trustworthy, local, and you'll always have my number on speed dial. So, what makes me different is what I don't have- junk fees, tenant drama and evictions. Just trustworthy property management.

Dylan made the whole rental process easy from start to finish. Communication was quick and clear, maintenance requests were handled promptly, and every issue we raised was resolved without hassle. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a propertymanager who actually follows through. Thank you Team KindHost!

Ive had the opportunity to work with Dylan, the founder of KindHost, and have found him to be personable, thorough, and professional. He takes the time to understand the unique needs of each property and approaches propertymanagement with genuine care and attention to detail. I highly recommend Dylan and KindHost.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We offer transparent, tiered pricing with no hidden fees. Visit our kindhost pricing page for more information.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a free consultation to understand your property, ymarket rent analysis, recommend a pricing strategy, and get your management agreement in place, usually within a few days. If your unit is vacant, we move straight into marketing. If it's occupied, we do an onboarding inspection and transition seamlessly so your tenants barely notice the change.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a degree in Real Estate Development from the Price School of Public Policy at USC and am a licensed real estate broker in California (DRE #02206518). Before founding KindHost, I served as Director of Investments at Columbus Capital, overseeing 298 units of multifamily apartments, and as VP at Pacific Ridge Properties managing commercial and residential assets. I've spent my career inside the real estate industry — KindHost is that expertise applied directly to your investment.
