Our
asset management service is intended to maximize the cash flow from the property
by closely supervising and motivating the client's third-party property manager.
We serve as our client's local eyes and ears in working closely with the property
management company. Our experience of managing over 30,000 units gives us the
tools to effectively oversee the third-party property manager.
Third-party
property managers, no matter how professional and well-intentioned, have a natural
aversion to monthly explanations of negative variances to the budget. As a result,
they tend to budget below market income and above market operating expenses and
replacements with the result being an understated net operating income budget. With
this understanding clearly in mind, our asset management service includes: - Supervision
and motivation of the client's property management company to maximize cash flow.
- Review
of monthly operating statements.
- Review
and approval of rental rates and concessions.
- Review
of bids for major renovation projects.
- Review
and approval of annual operating budgets.
In
addition, we evaluate net operating income enhancing investments and hold versus
sell scenarios, and refinancing alternatives in order to maximize our client's
returns. If

"The
squeaky wheel gets the grease." When dealing with third-party property
managers, this phrase takes on a whole new meaning. And,
we can be very squeaky! |
