Navigating the Road to Rental Success

WITH TECHNOLOGY IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT, OVERCOME THESE FIVE COMMON PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OBSTACLES

Prospective renters need to take a lot of steps before they become a paying resident at one of your properties. Unfortunately, that means potential roadblocks could get in the way, keeping them from signing the lease and derailing your efforts to fill your vacancies quickly. But sometimes, you can also get in your own way. The road to rental success is paved with good processes. Here we'll guide you through streamlining your entire leasing process.

Roadblock 1 (of 5):

Marketing

Ineffective marketing can waste both your and your prospective renter’s time.

But when done right, it’s eye-catching and connects the right renters with available properties.

Manually Posted Vacancies Across Multiple Sites

Too Many Vacancies

Late-Night Maintenance Calls

Have someone else answer those midnight calls, record them in your system, and deploy vendors. Call centers act as extensions of your business so you don’t need more staff.

Roadblock 4 (of 5):

Payments and Processing

There’s a reason they call it “snail mail.” Online payments transfer funds quickly and efficiently, so you never wait around for a missing check again.

Piles of Paper Checks

A built-in, complete online rent payment platform for accepting rent online is a game-changer. Simplify your reconciliations and securely accept payments while cutting down on misplaced checks.

Lack of Streamlined Communication

Mobile communication is the best way to share important information. Software with built-in text message and email features enable you to instantly message renters, owners, vendors, or even prospective renters.

Slow Tracking Process

Modern owner portals enable you to share statements with owners any time and pay owners directly online, which makes them happy and streamlines your processes.

Roadblock 5 (of 5):

Growth

To grow your property management business, you need happy renters who will be advocates and help market the property for you.

Unhappy Renters Who Want To Leave

With technology by your side, you’ll have more free time to spend on areas that matter—like customer service, resident retention, and marketing.

Negative Online Reviews

Ask renters to write positive reviews on social media for you. The negative comments will always be out there, so be sure to respond professionally to the less favorable ones, too.

Inaccurate Financial Reporting

A complete and solid accounting software system gets the job done. Entering bills, creating budgets, running reports, making payments, and doing bank reconciliations should be quick and painless.
