Built by a Hamilton investor who still invests here
Most property managers treat your property like paperwork. We treat it like an asset, because we own rentals too.
Run by an active investor
Our founder owns and actively invests in Hamilton real estate. You get a manager who understands cap rate, cash flow, and the decisions that protect long-term returns.
The Acceler8 Tenant Audit
A 9-point screening system built over thousands of applications. Credit, income, employment, references, payment history, and behavioural signals — all cross-checked before a lease is signed.
Tenant financial education
To our knowledge, we're the only property manager in Canada running a structured financial education program for tenants. Our Money Machine course teaches tenants how to budget, pay on time, and protect their credit. Financially literate tenants stay longer and cause less damage.
Credit reporting through Openroom
We partner with Openroom to report tenants' payment behaviour, good and bad, and to pursue active collections during and after tenancy. Tenants know their rent history follows them, which changes how they treat your lease.
Four guarantees in writing
21-day leasing, 90-day money-back, tenant locate, and good pet. If we don't deliver, you don't pay. Every promise is in your contract, not on a pitch deck.
Membership, not flat rates
We price as a membership, not a commission. Predictable monthly fees, everything included, and service tiers you can choose based on how hands-on you want to be. See membership options.
Earn Rewards on Rent, Bills and Taxes.

9-point
Acceler8 Tenant Audit

Lower repair costs without cutting corners
Our maintenance services pair an in-house team for day-to-day repairs with vetted contractors for bigger jobs. You see every quote, every hour, and every invoice, in real time.
In-house
General maintenance team
Routine repairs are handled by our own team, so you avoid contractor markup on the small stuff that adds up over a year.
30+
Vetted contractor partners
Bigger jobs are bid through a vetted network across plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, and renovations. You get competitive pricing without having to source it yourself.
24/7
Owner portal tracking
Every maintenance request, hour logged, and invoice issued is visible in real time. You stay in control of the budget without managing it day-to-day.

Questions about Found Spaces
Straight answers to what landlords ask us most.
What is Found Spaces Property Management?
Found Spaces is a Hamilton-based property management company founded by Kate Mackay, an active real estate investor. We manage 600+ rental properties worth over $160M in assets across Hamilton and the surrounding region, with 40 years of combined team experience.
We work with landlords who want their properties run like the investments they are — full leasing, tenant vetting, rent collection, maintenance coordination, and owner reporting under one roof.

Our head office is at 472 Beach Road, Hamilton, ON. We manage properties across Hamilton and the surrounding areas, including Dundas, Stoney Creek, Flamborough, Waterdown, Grimsby, Binbrook, Mount Hope, and Hamilton Mountain.
If your rental is in the Hamilton region and you're not sure whether we cover your neighbourhood, email [email protected] and we'll confirm.
What guarantees does Found Spaces offer?
We put four guarantees in writing:
A leasing guarantee (we lease your unit within a set window or we work for free until we do), a tenant placement guarantee (if a placed tenant breaks the lease early, we re-lease at no additional cost), a response time guarantee on maintenance, and a service quality guarantee that lets you exit the agreement if we don't deliver.
The full terms are in the management agreement — no fine print surprises.
How much does property management cost with Found Spaces?
We use a membership model instead of flat percentage-of-rent fees. You pick the tier that matches how hands-on you want to be, and the monthly cost is fixed and predictable.
View membership plans for current tiers and pricing, or book a free consultation and we'll quote your specific property.
How do I get started with Found Spaces?
Book a free landlord consultation through our contact page. We'll review your property, walk you through what we'd do differently, and give you a no-pressure quote.
If you move forward, onboarding takes about a week: sign the management agreement, hand over keys and documents, and we take it from there.
What makes Found Spaces different from other property management companies?
Three things set us apart. First, Found Spaces is run by an active Hamilton investor, so we manage your property the way we manage our own.
Second, we run every applicant through the 9-point Acceler8 Tenant Audit and report rent payments through our Openroom partnership — tenants build credit by paying on time, which changes the incentives.
Third, to our knowledge, we're the only property manager in Canada that gives tenants free access to a financial education course (Money Machine). Better-informed tenants stay longer and pay on time.
