How NRIWAY Helped an NRI Owner Manage His Bangalore Property

Meet the Client
Rohan Kumar, a software engineer living in the United States, owns a 3-bedroom apartment in a prime Bangalore neighborhood. Like many NRIs, he struggled to manage his property from overseas. After his previous tenants moved out, the apartment sat vacant for months. It needed cleaning, repairs, and upkeep before it could be rented again.
With rising maintenance costs, zero rental income, and no reliable contact in Bangalore, Mr. Kumar was under stress.
The Struggles of Long-Distance Ownership
Mr. Kumar’s challenges were familiar to many NRIs trying to manage property back home:
- Upkeep from Afar: The flat needed deep cleaning, minor electrical repairs, and painting, but he had no one to supervise the work.
- Unreliable Tenants: Local brokers charged high commissions and lacked proper screening. His last tenant left the property in poor condition.
- Uncertain Rental Income: With a fluctuating Bangalore rental market, he wasn’t sure how to price his apartment to attract the right tenant.
- Legal and Logistical Hurdles: From abroad, handling police verification, rental agreements, and security deposits felt overwhelming.
How NRIWAY Stepped In
After hearing about NRIWAY from a friend, Mr. Kumar decided to try their property management services. A dedicated property manager, Leena Rao, became his single point of contact. Here’s how the team helped him regain control:
- A Complete Property Audit
The team inspected the apartment thoroughly, sharing photos and videos with Mr. Kumar. They also studied local rental trends and suggested the best price to balance demand and returns. - Making the Apartment Rent-Ready
NRIWAY coordinated cleaning, electrical work, and painting with trusted vendors. They gave clear cost estimates and regular progress updates, ensuring the work was done right. - Finding the Right Tenant
The property was listed on premium platforms. NRIWAY handled background checks, police verification, and all showings. This careful process secured a dependable, long-term tenant. - Smooth Rent Collection
NRIWAY managed the rental agreement, collected the security deposit, and set up automatic monthly rent transfers to Mr. Kumar’s Indian bank account. He also received detailed statements for complete transparency. - Ongoing Care and Support
Beyond move-in, NRIWAY scheduled periodic inspections and acted as the tenant’s main contact for any issues, giving Mr. Kumar a stress-free experience.
Conclusion
Within just one month, the apartment was rented out to a reliable tenant at the higher end of market rates.

This case shows how professional property management can transform a major burden for NRIs into a secure, profitable investment.
