Property Management

Property Management (NOCOS)

Property Management (NOCOS) is a comprehensive management service provided by INA&Associates Inc., covering tenant relations, building management, and financial administration for rental properties.

Implementing next-generation property management that transcends regional disparities through regional talent and technology. Leveraging cloud technology and distributed organizational design, our model simultaneously achieves low cost, high quality, and high transparency. 396 managed units (including parking), 99% occupancy rate.

What is NOCOS

NOCOS is a comprehensive rental management service provided by INA&Associates Inc. We handle all aspects of rental property operations in a one-stop manner, from tenant recruitment and contract procedures to daily building management, move-out settlements, and large-scale renovation planning. Guided by our mission of "fusing human creativity with cutting-edge technology," we have built a distributed operation that enables nationwide remote-first recruitment, skill-based compensation design, and fully contactless operations powered by cloud/AI. Through our 24-hour call center and local partner network, we deliver sustainable value to all stakeholders—owners, tenants, employees, and communities—under a system where abilities are fairly evaluated regardless of location, age, or life stage. Our service areas cover the Greater Tokyo area (Tokyo, Chiba, Saitama, Kanagawa) and the Keihanshin area (Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo).

Low-Cost, Fixed-Rate Management Fees

Regardless of whether it's an apartment, detached house, or condominium (entire building or unit), we offer a fixed rate starting from 0 yen per unit per month. By restructuring payment management—traditionally one of the most labor-intensive tasks for management companies—and adopting a system where guarantee companies transfer funds directly to owners, we have achieved significant cost reductions. These savings are passed on to owners through our low management fees. We handle any delinquency or late payment follow-ups. By removing payment management from the management company's responsibilities, we also eliminate risks of incorrect transfer amounts, company bankruptcy, or misappropriation.

Effective Leasing Strategy for Higher Rents and Faster Occupancy

We achieve high occupancy rates through data utilization and marketing expertise. Our AI-powered rent appraisal system, backed by over 10 billion data points, proposes optimal rents for vacant properties—preventing revenue losses from underpricing or extended vacancies due to overpricing. Listing photos are professionally shot and edited, and we create original design floor plans that make properties attractive to brokerage firms. We also strategically leverage leading listing platforms such as SUUMO and at home, pursuing early lease execution through a multi-faceted approach.

Thorough Communication

Through systematized information sharing and rigorous data management, we maintain constant awareness of property conditions. When issues or complaints arise, our 24-hour call center receives them, accurately assesses the situation through standardized initial response protocols, and reports to the owner. We provide progress updates via email or phone at each stage, not just upon resolution. Response records, including photos, are uploaded to a shared cloud, ensuring access to the latest information at all times. Without proper information management, documents may become unavailable when not proactively requested or lost when staff changes occur—an irreversible situation that leads to decreased asset value.

100% Paperless

"Information as an Asset"—We digitally organize and manage all property-related information online, including contracts, estimates, invoices, repair history, inspection reports, property photos, and equipment manuals. You can access property information and documents anytime, from anywhere. For properties managed by NOCOS, all data is organized and preserved—we build this trust and accumulate a property database as a valuable asset for our owners.

Transparent Transactions Without Black Boxes

In traditional management companies, the structure where the management company serves as the prime contractor and the construction company as the subcontractor often creates opaque dealings invisible to owners. Typically, 20-30% of costs go to the management company's fees, reducing the actual budget allocated to contractors and potentially compromising construction quality. We facilitate transactions at clearly defined commission rates based on the order amount, creating highly transparent dealings between owners and construction companies. Our rates are set at 10.0% for amounts up to 500,000 yen, 5.0% for amounts between 500,001 and 1,000,000 yen, and 3.0% for amounts exceeding 1,000,000 yen.

Building Management & Maintenance

We conduct regular patrol inspections to constantly monitor building conditions. In addition to common area cleaning, landscaping, and equipment inspections, we handle statutory inspections and security systems. We employ a separate ordering system, managing communications with inspection companies and overseeing the execution and completion verification of repairs and inspections. From PDF storage of inspection reports and consolidated owner reporting to tenant inquiry handling, we provide safe, secure, and efficient rental operations. We are committed to addressing the multi-layered subcontracting structure in the industry and advancing the building maintenance sector.

Switching Management Companies

The only action required from the owner is to notify the current management company. We handle all transition procedures, completing the switch in as little as two weeks. STEP 1 | Submit cancellation notice to current management company We prepare a cancellation notice template. Owners simply sign and send it. STEP 2 | Handover of operations and property documents We communicate directly with the current management company to transfer contracts, keys, equipment information, and other materials. STEP 3 | Notification to tenants After executing the management agreement, we send tenants a notice of management company change. We also prepare any landlord change notifications. STEP 4 | Transition complete The switch is complete once we receive all original documents and materials. We serve a wide range of needs, including owners of apartment buildings, unit condominium investors, and owners living far from their properties who find local management challenging.

Customer Voice

I appreciate how they offer frank, professional advice on everything from noise complaints to exterior wall repairs. They always explain things clearly when I don't understand, and they consistently consider the overall value of the property, so I can entrust everything to them with confidence.

— Individual Owner / 2 Apartment Buildings

I work with several management companies, but INA is the only one that proposes strategies to increase rent and really works hard to fill vacancies. They keep in touch frequently and think through solutions together with me, which has transformed what was once a dreary experience as a landlord into something enjoyable.

— Individual Owner / 4 Apartment Buildings & 1 Detached House

Our company also self-manages some properties, so we have general management experience. But when we encounter cases where the right course of action isn't clear, they provide decisive advice. Also, their quick response times across the board are something I truly appreciate.
