A.L.O.C.
represents investment property owners in the greater Cumberland - Allegany
County area. We have many out of town landlords who rely on our group
to keep them informed about local regulations and or real estate problems.
Our activities include educating our membership regarding housing issues
at the local and state levels. We also regularly interact/lobby our
elected officials regarding housing and real estate issues. This frequently
spills over into many broad business related issues as owning an investment
property is a business A.L.O.C. also supplies leases and other documents
and forms required in the business to the membership at minimal cost.
In Cumberland alone landlords contribute over 12 million to the local
economy. This flows into banks to pay mortgages, real estate taxes and
the purchase of supplies and services from various vendors. A.L.O.C.
members range from small Mom and Pop operations with 1-2 rentals to
larger firms who have full-time paid staff and operate 100+ rentals.
Most are residential units but many are commercial rentals used for
offices, garages, retail and etc.
