Owning a home in Israel while living abroad doesn’t have to be stressful. In this episode, Debbie sits down with Avi Goldberg, CEO of City of Gold Apartments, to unpack what property management really looks like—weekly inspections with dynamic checklists, clear workflows, bill payments, and a 24/7 on-call system staffed by a 35-person team. We dig into the practical differences between setting up a personal vacation home versus a pure investment, why long-term rentals are often simpler, and how leases, rent collection, and tenant screening are handled.

It’s not only homeowners who benefit. Tenants renting a professionally managed apartment also gain peace of mind, knowing that when something breaks, repairs are handled quickly by vetted professionals—reducing stress and avoiding long waits for help. Avi also shares neighborhood insights around Jerusalem and explains how smart property management ensures smooth communication and proactive maintenance, minimizing turnover and keeping both landlords and tenants happy.
