Good morning wonderful professionals, I hope everyone is well. 🚨Major development🚨there's major proposals submitted to Congress that could enhance and make OZs permanent as early as Q2 2025. Here are my Top 5 from the proposal:1: States could re-designate zones as communities prosper, ensuring capital flows to the areas that need it most.2: Open OZs to all taxpayers, not exclusively to capital gain strategists. This could be a huge win that will ...
We’ve just been changed from Yardi to OneSite. Learning curve for sure, although much is obvious. None of our prior ledgers integrated. Does anyone know how I can charge back a concession??
The code CONC/XONETIME is there but it isn’t within the charge menu for me to use. It’s only available...

What is your company approach?

These are all things right off the top of my head that I have come across and reported in to local police, social services or FBI in my 25 years.
I work on the vendor side now, but spent over 15 years on-site. I recently started looking for an apartment for the first time in 16 years.
I am amazed at the number of sites I’ve visited or messaged that will not show an apartment if there is only one person scheduled to be in the office at a certain time. When I was on-site, we simply put a note on the door and showed apartments.
Is that a common practice now?
For reference, this is in the DFW...

To show currently and after Saturday I won’t have anything to show until the end of the following week.
Working in multifamily is watching The Avengers for the first time with my husband, and saying outloud:
“Who’s handling all the insurance claims? The tax aid? The incident reports? They literally just destroyed that mid-rise in seconds. Would this be considered a lease break? That poor property manager. I hope they’re okay.”
And I think, for that reason, I believe I am officially the least fun person to watch a movie with.
But it’s FINE. ☠️

Traditional methods like emails, printed materials, and phone calls can sometimes lead to missed details or delayed responses, creating friction points that affect a resident's first impression.

As the new year begins, property management professionals have the opportunity to reflect on foundational practices that ensure both compliance and operational excellence. Among these, few aspects are as critical as robust fair housing policies, well-defined procedures, and professional written communication. These elements not only safeguard against legal risks but also foster trust and professionalism in interactions with residents, prosp ...
How do you handle people that just will not stop with complaints that waste your time (yet still be kind and professional)?? Time wasters who suck the life out of your day over extremely minor or not real issues??
For instance, I have a man who insists his water/sewer bill should be lower (it’s already low!!!!) . He’s has called the city utility dept and also the utility billing provider questioning why his bill is like….$40. Insists he was...

Would love some feedback from this dynamic and illustrious group!
What are the most high-end, multifamily high rise buildings across the country that are setting NEW, top of the market trends and service levels/offerings? Preferably with curated concierge services, private club amenities and services.
Let's face it, utility billing isn't winning any awards for excitement. It's not the Tesla of rental operations. It's not shiny, futuristic, or likely to inspire your residents to brag about their complex at cocktail parties. But here's the thing: just because it isn't glamorous doesn't mean it isn't a game-changer. Utility billing is like the fiber in your diet—quietly working in the background, making everything function better. Ignore it, and ...

Think of them as the foundation and structure of a building—both critical, interconnected, and serving unique roles.
