4 Vital Attributes Needed for Managing Properties
Appfolio Websites • January 18, 2020
Managing properties isn't for everyone. How do you stack up?
It takes a certain type of person to thrive as a chemist.
The same may be said for so many professionals – spanning teachers, lawyers, full-time Moms and Dads and more.
And, just as certain attributes are vital to being an NBA player (being tall helps a little), there are some absolute musts when it comes to the realm of property management.
So, let’s dive into four key attributes and see how they may align with your property ownership (and potentially management) journey:
1) Flexibility. A pipe may burst in the middle of the night. A major appliance may fail. And, flooding and smoke damage can happen to anyone, too. When something goes wrong, flexibility and 24/7 availability is imperative to nip whatever it is in the bud.
2) Follow up-titude. Sure, we made up a phrase here. But, the ability to follow-up with tenants, service providers and any other folks that may touch a property is a major need when it comes to managing one of your most valuable assets.
3) Financial savviness. An investment can turn into a genuine nightmare unless you have a true pulse of its financials. You to know where your accounts stand in real-time beyond simply knowing that a check came in (or didn’t).
4) Crystal clear communication. To mitigate unnecessary messages, phone calls and steps, it’s important to update folks (and, in return, be updated!) in an efficient manner. A clear communicator can be the difference in a task that lasts 10 minutes versus 10 days.
So, how do you stack up? This may all sound up your alley and you’re geared up for a property management endeavor. Or, perhaps, you’re missing an attribute or two above... or you simply want help or peace of mind?
