Your Property, Our Priority

StayCo manages rental properties for military families and local homeowners across Wayne County and the surrounding area. Whether you're stationed at Seymour Johnson, relocating out of state, or simply want your investment handled right — we take care of tenant placement, maintenance, finances, and everything in between so you don't have to.

What We Handle

Full-Service Property Management

Managing a rental property from a distance — or even across town — comes with constant demands on your time. StayCo handles every aspect of the process, from finding qualified tenants to keeping your property in top condition, so ownership feels like an investment instead of a second job.

Effective Marketing & Tenant Placement: Finding the right tenant is the single biggest factor in a smooth rental experience. We market your property across major rental platforms, coordinate and conduct showings, and run thorough background and credit screenings on every applicant. The goal isn't just to fill your vacancy quickly — it's to place reliable, qualified tenants who take care of your property and pay on time.
Prompt Maintenance & Repairs: Maintenance requests don't wait for convenient timing, and neither do we. StayCo coordinates all routine upkeep and emergency repairs through a network of trusted local contractors. Tenants submit requests through our online portal, and we handle scheduling, follow-up, and quality checks — keeping small issues from turning into costly problems and keeping your tenants satisfied.
Accurate Financial Management: We handle rent collection, expense tracking, and monthly owner statements so you always have a clear picture of your property's financial performance. Every transaction is documented and accessible through your owner portal, making tax season and long-term planning significantly easier. No chasing payments, no spreadsheet headaches — just organized, transparent financials.
Streamlined Online Platforms: Both owners and tenants get access to dedicated online portals where you can view statements, track maintenance requests, and manage payments — all in one place. Everything is accessible from any device, which means fewer phone calls, faster communication, and full visibility into what's happening with your property at any time.
Convenient Direct Deposit: Your rental income is deposited directly into your bank account each month — no waiting on checks and no extra steps on your end. Payments are processed automatically and on a consistent schedule, so you can count on predictable cash flow without having to follow up.
High-Quality Professional Photography: First impressions happen online, and listings with professional photography consistently attract more interest and fill faster. We include a full professional photo session with every property we manage, ensuring your listing stands out from the competition and puts your property's best features front and center from day one.

About StayCo Property Management

StayCo started the way a lot of good businesses do — out of necessity. Kyle began by managing his own rental properties, then started helping friends and fellow investors with theirs. What started as a favor turned into a full-service property management company, but the approach never changed: treat every property like it's your own, and give every owner the kind of responsive, personal attention that larger firms can't.

Our Founder

Kyle Merritt was born and raised in Goldsboro and has spent seven years working in the local real estate market. He knows Wayne County's neighborhoods, rental trends, and what it takes to keep a property performing well in this area. He started StayCo because he saw too many property owners — especially military families cycling through Seymour Johnson — stuck with management companies that treated them like an account number instead of a person. His goal was to build something better: a company that's small enough to give personal attention but professional enough to protect your investment.

Our Mission

To make rental property ownership simple, profitable, and stress-free for military families and local homeowners in Wayne County — through honest communication, reliable service, and management that puts owners first.
