2. Use Our Official Website

You’re in the right place, your rental journey with us can be done entirely through our website and rental portal.

Access our rental portal to securely browse properties, submit interest, confirm contact details, and rental policies. Scammers often avoid providing direct contact information and will attempt to circumvent official company channels.

3. Make an Appointment

Whenever possible, schedule a visit to the property before committing. Legitimate property managers like ours facilitate viewings and provide comprehensive rental information.

4. Use Secure Payment Methods

We do not accept wire transfers, cash payments, or mobile payment apps such as Venmo for deposits or rents. Legitimate property managers like ours prefer secure payment methods and vetted platforms to protect your financial transactions.

At Home Path Property Management, we only accept payments through our Rental Portal or through a check securely delivered to our payment drop box at our company office in Butler.

5. Trust Your Instincts

If a rental offer seems too good to be true or if the process feels rushed, do not proceed! Scammers typically lure renters in with unusually low prices that are too good to be true and pressure victims to act quickly.

6. Use Our Official Rental Portal

Cross reference any suspicious third-party listings with our official rental portal. Our rental portal is your best-source for up-to-date and trustworthy Home Path Property Management rental listings.

7. Contact Us

Contact us if you suspect fraudulent activity or are unsure about a rental listing’s legitimacy. We are always happy to answer any questions you may have pertaining to our rentals.
