Tulsa Property Manager Keyrenter Expands to Florida as Rental Owners Rank Getting Paid Their Top Concern
Oct 17, 2026
United States, October 17, 2026 -- The single biggest fear rental property owners have when hiring a property manager is not getting paid. Keyrenter Property Management, a Tulsa-based residential property management company, is addressing that fear head-on as it opens its eighth market, in Ocala, Florida, extending the same financial safeguards that already protect roughly 1,800 owner clients and around 3,500 single-family rental homes across seven markets: Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Northwest Arkansas, St. Louis, Wichita, Kansas City and Indianapolis.
Keyrenter Tulsa built its reputation on a simple premise: owners who hand over a rental home are handing over a piece of their financial future, and that money has to be handled with the same care an owner would apply to it personally. Every Keyrenter office operates under state real estate licensing requirements, and rent and security deposits are held in trust accounts kept entirely separate from the company's own operating funds. Internal controls are structured so no single employee can access an owner's money without oversight, and owners receive monthly distributions along with statements that account for every dollar collected and every dollar spent.
"Trust comes on foot and leaves on horseback. When an owner hands us a home, they are handing us their savings, and our entire operation is built around protecting the rent that home produces," said Mat Zalk, Owner and Managing Broker of Keyrenter Property Management.
That philosophy traces back to a Tulsa owner who came to Keyrenter after a previous property manager went more than six months without paying him rent on three homes. Since switching property management companies, the owner has collected rent consistently, received his distributions on time every month, and grown his portfolio from three rental homes to eleven. Rental owners considering the same move can see what that process looks like before they switch. "One client came to us with three homes and more than six months of unpaid rent. Today that owner has eleven homes with us. That growth happened because the rent started showing up on time, month after month," Zalk said.
Stories like that one are why Keyrenter decided Ocala was ready for the same approach. The new office at 603 E. Fort King St. will offer full-service single-family rental management in Marion County, including tenant placement, rent collection from both current and past-due tenants, maintenance coordination, and owner reporting, run by a local team held to the same licensing and trust-account standards already in place in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas and Indiana. Owners in each of those markets, and now in Florida, get the same promise: a licensed property management company where rent collection services and monthly owner distributions are treated as the core of the business, not an afterthought.
Keyrenter is also actively working with real estate agents and independent property managers who are ready to step away from the day-to-day work of managing rentals. The company has completed ten portfolio acquisitions to date, taking over management contracts from agents and managers across its markets, and structuring each transition so owners keep the same consistent rent collection and reporting they had before, without interruption. An agent weighing an exit strategy for property managers, or a real estate agent selling a rental management portfolio built up over years, can talk directly with Keyrenter's Tulsa team about what a transition would look like.
"Keyrenter is a family business, and my hope is that my children will join me here. That long view shapes how we handle every dollar an owner trusts us with," Zalk said.

'AI artists' perform improvised music at Jarasum Jazz Festival
Artificial intelligence (AI) models developed by a research team led by Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) professor Nam Ju-han made their debut at one of Korea’s leading jazz festivals, performing improvised jazz alongside human artists. According to the university Friday, the team showcased human-AI music collaboration technology that analyzes the flow of human performances in real time, allowing AI to take over performances or generate improvised accompaniment during the 23rd Jarasum Jazz Festival, held in Gapyeong County, Gyeonggi Province, from Oct. 9 to 11. A total of 12 human jazz artists participated in the event, collaborating with AI in 26 pieces across 12 performances. The technology is different from existing music AI services as it enables collaboration with human musicians in jazz, a genre characterized by improvisation. Jazz musicians often change the tempo or create new melodies based on how they feel in the moment. Because the same piece can be performed differently each time, musicians must listen to one another and adjust their playing accordi
Why do some Samsung employees cheer company's stock plunge?
Some Samsung Electronics employees have drawn criticism from online users after appearing to welcome a nearly 9 percent plunge in their company's share price on an anonymous workplace community. Posts written by Samsung Electronics employees on the company's board on Blind, an anonymous community for office workers, spread across online communities and social media Thursday. Blind requires users to verify their employment through their company email addresses, and displays the name of their employer alongside their usernames. According to the Korea Exchange, Samsung Electronics closed Thursday's regular trading at 210,000 won ($147), down 9.48 percent, or 22,000 won, from the previous session. One person believed to be a Samsung Electronics employee posted on Blind under the title, "Please let the stock plunge to 100,000 won." Another employee wrote a post titled, "Isn't a falling stock price actually better for Samsung Electronics employees?" The employee said, "From the Device Solutions (DS) division's perspective, a higher stock price only increases the risk associated with OPI2," ref
Michael Jordan's Steak House named Korea's best hotel restaurant
Michael Jordan’s Steak House, the only location of the U.S. restaurant brand outside the United States, has been named “Korea’s Best Hotel Restaurant 2026” at the World Culinary Awards. INSPIRE Entertainment Resort in Incheon, which houses the restaurant, said Friday that the steakhouse received the award at a ceremony held Wednesday in Jamaica. The awards recognize outstanding restaurants and culinary destinations through votes cast by industry professionals, experts and consumers. The event is a sister event of the World Travel Awards, described as the “Oscars of the travel industry.” The restaurant opened in Incheon in 2023 as the brand’s first and only location outside the U.S., bringing a selection of steaks that had proved popular in its home market. Cornerstone Restaurant Group oversees the brand in partnership with basketball legend Michael Jordan, with two U.S. locations in Chicago and Connecticut. The Incheon restaurant also received a Best of Award of Excellence in June from Wine Spectator, a U.S. wine publication, as part of its annual Restaurant Awards. “This
Chaevi wins all 4 government EV charging subsidy categories
Electric vehicle (EV) charging operator Chaevi has achieved a rare clean sweep in this year's government EV charging facility subsidy program, securing qualifications across all four categories in both network operation and hardware manufacturing. The company was selected as an operator and manufacturer of fast, medium-speed and slow charging facilities under a program overseen by the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment. The selection marks Chaevi’s ninth consecutive year as a designated charging facility operator and its first selection in newly introduced manufacturer categories, according to the company. The four categories cover operators of fast and medium-speed chargers, operators of slow chargers, manufacturers of fast and medium-speed chargers, and manufacturers of slow chargers, allowing Chaevi to participate in the government’s subsidy program through 2027. The government revised its evaluation system this year to assess operators and manufacturers separately, with manufacturers facing additional scrutiny of technological development, product quality and charging pe
Hyosung Heavy Industries doubles export capacity with Changwon factory
Power transmission equipment manufacturer Hyosung Heavy Industries opened a new factory in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, Friday, doubling its production capacity for extra-high-voltage circuit breakers rated at 420 kilovolts (kV) and above as it prepares for surging global demand for power infrastructure. The facility, covering about 18,996 square meters, will exclusively manufacture circuit breakers rated at 420 kV, 550 kV and 800 kV for export markets, strengthening the company's ability to fulfill large overseas orders. Hyosung Heavy Industries reorganized its existing circuit breaker operations to focus primarily on domestic models, while the new facility handles export products rated at 420 kV and above. The factory integrates component manufacturing, assembly, testing and shipping under one roof, creating a streamlined production system designed to improve efficiency and delivery times. Production capacity for insulation components, which are critical to circuit breaker performance, has also doubled, according to the company, which said it is the only domestic power equipmen
Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra, 2 other products named to TIME's Best Inventions of 2026
Samsung Electronics said Friday that three of its products have been named to TIME magazine’s list of The Best Inventions of 2026. The U.S. weekly news magazine announced the list Thursday (local time). It picked the Galaxy S26 Ultra smartphone in the Consumer Electronics category, the Bespoke AI Family Hub refrigerator in Household and the Odyssey G8 gaming monitor in Entertainment & Gaming. TIME compiles the list each year from nominations by its editors and correspondents around the world. It rates new products and ideas on originality, efficacy, ambition and impact. The magazine called the Galaxy S26 Ultra “a privacy-focused smartphone,” citing its Privacy Display. The feature effectively blocks people from viewing the screen from the side. Users can choose when it turns on or apply it only to certain content, such as pop-up notifications. TIME said this makes it more flexible than conventional privacy screen protectors. The phone is the top model in the Galaxy S26 series, which was released in March. It has a 200-megapixel wide-angle camera and artificial intelligence (AI) fea
AMCHAM chief receives honorary doctorate from Korea Aerospace University
American Chamber of Commerce in Korea (AMCHAM) Chairman James Kim received an honorary doctorate in business administration from Korea Aerospace University (KAU) on Thursday in recognition of his contributions to Korea-U.S. economic cooperation. The university recognized Kim for bringing businesses and policymakers from the two countries together to promote trade, investment and cooperation in advanced industries. It also cited his efforts to attract foreign investment to Korea and improve the business environment in the country, drawing on his experience leading global companies. A degree ceremony was held at Vision Hall in the university’s Aerospace Center following a commemorative tree-planting event. KAU President Hurr Hee-young delivered welcoming remarks, while Korean Air Executive Vice President Kenneth Chang offered congratulatory remarks. “It is a great honor to receive an honorary doctorate from a university that has been at the forefront of developing Korea’s aerospace and defense talent,” Kim said. Kim also praised KAU’s efforts to develop talent and strengthen ties
Korea's 1st homegrown obesity drug likely to intensify price competition
Korea’s first homegrown obesity drug could shake up a market dominated by Mounjaro and Wegovy, an industry official said, as more Koreans travel to Japan to obtain cheaper Mounjaro and bring it home illegally, driven by the high cost of obesity treatments in Korea. Chung Sang-won, director of pharmacy innovation at the Korea Pharmaceutical Association, said the launch of Eppe, Korea’s first domestically developed glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-based obesity treatment, could intensify price competition, as seen in China. “The price of Eli Lilly’s Mounjaro fell by as much as 66 percent in China earlier this year, from 1,758 yuan ($262) to 599 yuan. Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy also saw a substantial price drop,” Chung said. The price cuts came amid intensifying competition in China, where domestically developed GLP-1-based obesity treatments have entered the market. In 2025, Innovent Biologics’ mazdutide, a dual glucagon and GLP-1 receptor agonist, received approval from Chinese authorities, adding to competition in the country’s obesity drug market.
