FJ De La Cruz Investments LLC
Property management from an office on South First Street in downtown San Jose, run by its owner.
About
Twelve South First Street is one of downtown San Jose's older office addresses, across from the Paseo de San Antonio and a block from the light-rail stops on First Street. Suite 708 there is the office of FJ De La Cruz Investments LLC, which its own website presents as a property management company rather than the securities brokerage its directory category suggests. Owner Frank De La Cruz is the contact on file.
What the company says it does
The company's site is titled "Property Management", and that is the extent of what it states in a form that can be read without a browser: the page is built on a template whose text did not load for this listing. So the scope below is what a property management office in San Jose normally takes on, not a list the company has confirmed.
- Leasing vacant units: advertising, showings, application screening and lease signing.
- Rent collection and monthly owner statements.
- Coordinating repairs and routine maintenance with vendors.
- Handling notices, renewals and move-out inspections under California's tenant rules and San Jose's own rent and just-cause ordinances.
Owners and tenants: what to ask
A property owner should ask for a sample management agreement and read the fee schedule: a monthly percentage of collected rent, a leasing fee when a unit turns over, and any markup on repairs. Ask who holds the security deposits and in what kind of account, how quickly the company responds to a tenant's repair request, and whether it manages single-family homes, small multi-unit buildings or both. Managing property for others in California requires a real estate broker's licence, so ask for the responsible broker's DRE number and look it up. A tenant calling about a listing should ask which unit is actually available, what the screening criteria are, and how maintenance requests are filed.
Downtown San Jose and the South Bay
The office sits in the downtown core between the SAP Center and San Jose State, with the county government center to the north. Properties managed from here would typically be in San Jose, Santa Clara, Campbell, Milpitas, Cupertino, Los Gatos and Sunnyvale, reaching south to Morgan Hill.
The phone on file is 408-280-7911. It was found only on third-party directories, so if it does not connect, the company's website, fjdinvestments.net, is the other route.
Services
Typical for this type of businessMarketing a vacant unit, running showings, screening applications for income and rental history under fair-housing rules, and executing the lease so the owner never has to meet a prospective tenant.
Collecting rent each month, chasing late payments and serving notices when needed, then sending the owner a statement and year-end figures ready for the tax preparer.
Taking repair requests from tenants, dispatching plumbers, electricians and handymen from a vendor list, approving costs within an agreed limit and inspecting the finished work.
Handling renewals, rent adjustments within San Jose's rent ordinance, move-out inspections, security deposit accounting within the state deadline, and getting a unit ready to lease again.
Keeping owners on the right side of San Jose's apartment rent ordinance, just-cause eviction rules and rental registry requirements, which differ from the county's other cities.

Common questions
Typical for this type of businessWhat does a property manager in San Jose typically charge?
Most managers charge a percentage of collected rent each month plus a leasing fee when a new tenant is placed, and some add a markup on repairs. Ask this company for its full fee schedule in writing before signing a management agreement.
Do I need to check the manager's licence?
Yes. In California, managing rental property for others requires a real estate licence, so ask for the responsible broker's DRE licence number and confirm it at dre.ca.gov. The chamber has not verified a licence for this office.
Who holds the tenant's security deposit?
Either the owner or the manager may hold it, but it should be accounted for separately and returned with an itemised statement within California's deadline after move-out. Ask which arrangement this company uses and how it is documented.
Is this an investment or securities firm?
The directory category says securities brokerage, but the company's own website presents it as property management. Ask the office directly what services it offers; nothing on this page should be taken as investment advice or a description of investment services.
