VPMG handles every aspect of your Camas rental — tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance, and WA legal compliance — for one flat 8% fee. No setup fee.. Ever.
Camas is the crown jewel of Clark County's rental market — and the data is unambiguous. Lowest vacancy, highest rents, fastest leasing velocity, and the most qualified tenant pool in the region. With a population of approximately 26,000 and a school district that routinely ranks among Washington State's top performers, Camas attracts a tenant demographic defined by high income, stable employment, strong credit, and a genuine desire to put down roots in a community they value. For rental property owners, that combination is as close to ideal as the Pacific Northwest offers.
The Camas School District is the market's most powerful demand engine. In a region full of strong districts, Camas stands in a category of its own — consistently top-ranked statewide, with a robust International Baccalaureate and AP program at Camas High School that draws families from across the metro. Families with school-age children specifically target Camas addresses, they compete vigorously for available rentals, and once placed in the district, they stay. Lease renewal rates for Camas properties are among the highest in Clark County precisely because moving means leaving the school.
Camas also benefits from proximity to major employment. The legacy of Hewlett-Packard's Camas campus — now home to HP Inc. — and the broader Columbia River tech and professional corridor bring a steady supply of relocated professionals who earn Oregon or Portland salaries while living in Washington's income-tax-free environment. VPMG Property Management brings full-service rental management to Camas landlords: rigorous screening appropriate for the market's high-income tenant pool, zero-markup maintenance, and a flat 8% fee that makes professional management genuinely cost-effective at Camas rent levels.

With approximately 2,200 students in grades 9–12, Camas High School is one of Washington State's most academically decorated public schools. Its International Baccalaureate program, extensive AP course catalog, championship athletic programs, and near-universal college-acceptance rates make it a genuine destination school. Families relocate to Camas specifically for this school — and landlords whose properties fall in the Camas HS attendance zone benefit from the most competitive tenant demand in Clark County.
Liberty Middle School serves Camas's 6th through 8th grade students with strong academic programs and the community-focused culture that defines the Camas district. Families entering Camas at the middle school level become highly stable long-term tenants — they arrive planning to stay through high school graduation at Camas High.
