Maybe ten units. That was manageable—you knew every tenant by name, tracked maintenance in a notebook, and collected rent with a few spreadsheets. But then growth happened. Twenty properties. Fifty. One hundred. And somewhere along the way, your property management software needs became obvious. Now you&#8217;re drowning in spreadsheets.

Is communication with your residents something that is common for you? As 2019 begins, HOA board members should consider offering feedback on how the HOS can improve the community and make it a great place to live. Responsibility Tenants should take responsibility for abiding by the CC&amp;Rs and staying current on their HOA fees.

- [Will 2019 Bring an Economic Downturn for Multifamily?](https://propertyzar.com/blog/will-2019-bring-an-economic-downturn-for-multifamily/): All the talk about a 2019 downturn may end up being exaggerated, just a bit. There are some signs of a slight decline, primarily due to the uncertainty in the market. However, many of these are simply overblown. The economy’s fundamentals are strong and there seems to be a good amount of momentum. This is good news for property management companies. As multifamily real estate continues to grow investor’s portfolios, property managers should have a positive 2019. REITs This 2019 also is gearing up to be a positive year for REITs as well. Rising interest rates don’t affect the REITs like other&hellip;
- [What’s in Store for Self-Storage Units?](https://propertyzar.com/blog/whats-in-store-for-self-storage-units/): The self-storage market has seen significant growth over the past decade. It seems Americans continue to collect too much ‘stuff’ that doesn’t fit into their homes. That’s all great for property management companies. However, the industry is changing. Increase of Self-Storage Units There has been a significant increase in self-storage construction as demand has risen. With new construction comes the inevitable rent adjustments. Current storage unit owners are realizing that they are having to cut some rent to compete for business. 2019 is expected to see the same growth pattern, with more construction of more storage units.

Sure, there are concerns about higher interest rates, property values and high inventory but that doesn’t seem to affect the availability of capital sources. This is good news for property management companies. As the real estate market remains strong, more investors will rely on property managers and property management software to support their portfolios. Debt Funds There are several equity funds that are providing financing for developers by way of debt funds. These ‘bridge loans’ can go as high as 85% of the property value with competitive interest rates. Once the property has been completely leased,&hellip;
- [Opportunity Zones](https://propertyzar.com/blog/opportunity-zones/): Since I am in in the property management software business, most all my blogs are related to property managers or landlords. However, this blog will cover a new federal program for real estate investors call Opportunity Zones. While it may benefit property managers or property management companies, it’s definitely geared towards real estate investors. With that in mind, read on!

- [Multiple Roommates per Property](https://propertyzar.com/blog/multiple-roommates-per-property/): Common Issue This is a common issue for landlords and property management companies. My first advice is to spell out the details of guests and roommates in the initial lease. Be upfront and make sure you specify all the details that you want up front. Ask the new tenants, do you plan to have frequent quests or visitors? Depending on their answer, you may want to include those individuals on the lease. Avoid Mistakes If it’s not in the lease, don’t make exceptions, unless you want to update the current lease. Make sure you are protected as much as possible. If&hellip;

So, what is the deal? Full Security Deposit Refund Believe it or not, most property management companies want to return the full deposit to the tenant. Why? Because it would mean that the property was left in the same condition it started in. That’s good for the property management company as well as the property owner. But the fact is some tenants do&hellip;
- [Understanding Today’s Hard Money Lenders](https://propertyzar.com/blog/understanding-todays-hard-money-lenders/): Hard money lenders have changed from the typical definition a few years back. In the past, loan sharks were often synonymous with hard money lenders. Part of the reality that backs that point of view was those lenders often loaned money to people they didn’t believe would succeed. When they would fail, the loan shark would move in and swipe up the collateral and reap the financial benefits. Many hard money lenders of today are a different breed. They are sources of capital in the private sector that help real estate investors with their funding needs. They are generally a more viable&hellip;

More and more investors are closing watching multifamily properties, particularly in B &amp; C classes. These classes can maintain if there is a downturn in the markets. Unlike Commercial properties,  Residential properties in these classes are generally recession proof. Smaller Might Be Better Class A properties are the most competitive among investors as well as attracting new tenants. But smaller is often times more profitable. I personally&hellip;

Google’s Work Environment Look at Google’s offices. Have you seen these crazy offices? Lounges, tree house type cubicles and hammocks. It looks like a fun place to work but the question is, does that environment and money produce anything of substance for the workers?

Profits are made in both scenarios but choosing the right strategy depends on several key factors. Consider your age, need for cash flow, retirement goals and many other factors. Holding Properties Buying and holding properties usually are for longer term investments for the purpose of cash flow. In addition to cash flow, the buy and hold investor is also building equity as the mortgage decreases and the home appreciates in value. Flipping On the other hand, flipping properties is a short-term investment (at least that’s the initial intent). It is intended to produce capital gains quickly (in theory). There&hellip;
- [Should You Abandon Technology?](https://propertyzar.com/blog/should-you-abandon-technology/): There is no argument, technology has changed the landscape of nearly every industry in the world. That includes property management. There are many positive outcomes from technology but also some downside. So, should you abandon technology and go back to a more one on one personal relationship with your tenants? In short, No! However, there is a balance that can be had and to see the best results, you need to know where that balance lies, for today anyway.

- [Why Would Anyone Invest in Multi-Family Properties?](https://propertyzar.com/blog/why-would-anyone-invest-in-multi-family-properties/): Real estate is unlike other investment strategies like bonds or stocks. Congress has laws in place to reward investors who invest in real estate. Why? Well this country needs housing and government isn’t into housing (for the most part), so they encourage anyone who wants to provide housing by offering tax incentives. Additionally, real estate is not tied to the economy so there is less concern about the ups and downs of the economy cycle. Multi-family investments are generally more profitable then single family. Take a small duplex compared to 2 single family. Often times I can get a duplex&hellip;

- [How Can You Break A Rental Lease](https://propertyzar.com/blog/how-can-you-break-a-rental-lease/): Let’s face it, people usually do not enter a legally binding lease with the intention of breaking it.

There is a plethora of situations that can arise that will have you asking the question, ‘How can I break my lease’. Read your lease Some leases provide an opt-out clause.

- [Financial Reports for Property Managers](https://propertyzar.com/blog/financial-reports-for-property-managers/): Financial reports are a critical element for property managers and property owners. Without these reports, how do you know the financial health of your portfolio or a single property? Decisions are often made based on your current financial status. General Accounting Most general accounting applications are not designed for managing real estate properties. I’ve been a long time QuickBooks user, but QuickBooks doesn’t provide the breakdown that I need, at least not easily.

- [Hosting the Best Open House](https://propertyzar.com/blog/hosting-the-best-open-house/): Open houses are a great way to generate interest as well as some urgency when it comes to renting your properties. They have been used by real estate agents for decades because they work, sort of. They say between 4-10% of sales contracts are a result of open houses. However, for rental properties, there are other benefits. The Basics First, let’s start with the basics. You must be prepared for a successful open house. Be sure to arrive early and setup in time. The property should be show ready. Meaning, fully cleaned, carpets shampooed, painted and all maintenance issues fixed.&hellip;
- [Should You Use Professional Photography?](https://propertyzar.com/blog/should-you-use-professional-photography/): You know the saying, a picture is worth a 1000 words. There is no denying the fact that great looking photos will help your marketing efforts. Renters are more inclined to choose a property that has a lot of photos with high quality. What most renters do, is shop for rental properties and then imagine what their life would be like living there. Photos help the renter ‘imagine’.

Even the stock market has been a long running bull market. Several factors play into this. Low interest rates as well as low inventory have benefited the real estate market. Anyone who has studied markets understand that is it certainly cyclical and understanding where we are in the cycle is an educated guess by some at best. It seems that investors are getting comfortable with higher risk and this long running prosperity. However, I would caution investors and “would be” investors to be aware of&hellip;
- [PropertyZar – Should You Raise Rents](https://propertyzar.com/blog/propertyzar-should-you-raise-rents/): Raising rents is a question we see a lot. Should you or shouldn’t you. For those landlord’s or property managers that do raise rents, 2-4% seem to be the typical range. Good Tenants If you have good tenants who take care of your property, pay on time and all-around good tenants, raising their rent may push them to look for another place to rent. Finding new tenants, especially good ones, is a costly endeavor and may not be financially prudent for an extra 2 or 3%.

In the past, PropertyZar has been compared to some of the other larger platforms such as Appfolio, Buildium and Yardi. With the influx of inquiries for comparison to Rentec, we realized it was our pricing that is the basis for these comparison inquiries. While some companies intended to focus on small portfolios (typically fewer features), the genesis of PropertyZar was to provide a robust property management web application for large portfolios, but with an entry level price for the smaller portfolios. There is&hellip;
- [How to Handle Problem Tenants (Without Losing Money)](https://propertyzar.com/blog/propertyzar-dealing-with-bad-tenants/): If you have been a landlord or property manager for any amount of time, you have experienced both good and bad tenants.

- [How to Retain Tenants](https://propertyzar.com/blog/how-to-retain-tenants/): Let’s face it. Obtaining tenants can be expensive and time consuming. Consider the marketing expense, time to process applications, run background screening, verify information, the time it takes to ‘show’ your properties etc., the TAC (tenant acquisition cost) can be high. What’s worst is many property managers or landlords don’t even know what their TAC is. So, with all the time, effort and cost in obtaining a tenant, how do you keep your tenants? Do you have a documented retention policy? For sake of this BLOG, I’ve defined 2 groups of ideas (customer service and amenities) that retention policies fall into. Customer Service&hellip;

Most states have rules regarding handling security deposits. Some states even prevent allowing the security deposit to be used as the last rent. it’s good practice to not mix security deposits and rent monies. A good Commercial property management software will have the ability to keep deposits separate from all other monies. Best property management software should allow you to create separate bank accounts (chart of accounts) so that deposits can be separated from your main operating account.

They have more time to troubleshoot and correct the problem. If they can’t correct the problem, they have time to call for assistance, stabilize their descent and worst case, locate a suitable crash site. What altitude is to a pilot, time is to a property manager. A pilot’s landing can be symbolic to a property manager’s new lease, rehab project, transition to new rental property management software, meeting financial goals, high occupancy rate or any other milestone.
