Our story
How Amsoo Properties Got Started
Hi, we’re Ali and Muizz Soomar, the brothers behind Amsoo Properties. We rent private rooms in shared homes in Austin and Manor, TX.
Austin got us the way it gets a lot of people: we came for college at UT and ended up staying a few years after. When we started Amsoo in 2020, the idea was simple. Give people moving to Austin an affordable place to live, in a house where it’s easy to make friends. More than 50 residents later, that’s still the idea.
We’ve lived in every one of our homes, sharing them with roommates just like you would, and some of those roommates are still good friends. These days we live in the Houston area, but we still stay at our Manor home now and then. So if you live there, you’ll probably run into us.
How we do things
Run by Owners, Not a Management Company
You talk to the owners
No management company in the middle. If something comes up, send us a message and we’ll get on it quickly.
Everyone is screened
We screen every new resident ourselves, background check included, so everyone in the house has gone through the same process.
Tours are often led by residents
More often than not, a current resident shows you around. It’s the best way to ask what living there is really like and get a feel for the house.
