Good afternoon everybody, happy Friday! We currently have smart TV’s in our community spaces and fitness centers throughout our portfolio. On these TVs, we often will stream music and branded content. There is a company we’ve worked with in the past called BIM and are looking to cancel our services with them. They mention that we have to have some sort of license agreement in place on all of these TVs in order to stream music. My rebuttal to... Show more

Has anyone seen a seller rescind stay bonuses for employees that accept offers from the purchaser to stay at the property after the sale?

Guest Insider Anonymous member yes! Absolutely! If they helped get all documents and help with transition, bonuses for all… Didn’t happen, and at Christmas time a year ago.

Guest Insider It’s sad.
But my take from it all, is take care of you and your family. Sometimes you just have to go with your gut, not promises of others. 😞

David Troup I guess it would depend on how it was communicated. If the “bonuses” were severance pay, then I can see not paying them to people whose employment was NOT severed and they continued on with the property.
But if the bonuses were retention bonuses and people had been told they’d receive them if they stayed until the end, they should get them, regardless whether or not they are hired by the new owner.

Guest Insider Pardon my ignorance. I'm just curious. Couldn't a wildlife conservation come in, or a game warden, gather them and relocate them somewhere safe?

Gerry Hunt However bears live all over my mountains. They are not aggressive, when we learn to live WITH THEM. They are safe here. My residents know to not feed them and leave them also.

First in a 9-part series of “quick hit” blogs on the quickest way to uncover hidden revenue from leasing based on the presentation Bryan Pierce, Carol Enoch and Donald Davidoff gave at NAA’s 2024 Apartmentalize conference. In a year with at best anemic rent growth in most markets, operators are under tremendous pressure to find/save every possible dollar. They pay close attention to growing labor costs, implement “back to basics” ...

Does anyone know of a lease up tracker somewhere in realpage or know how to build one in performance analytics?

Jude Chiy What's a lease up tracker?

Tovah Garnett Jude Chiy it would be a way to track daily, weekly, and monthly leasing activity and compare it to the leasing velocity goals in order to hit our stabilization date. We have it broken down into how many leads, tours, and apps we need weekly to hit this and want to automate our report to pull this data.

Does anybody here use Flex Rent or Best Egg to allow their tenants split their rent into separate payments? I just tried launching Flex this month, they pay the tenant's rent upfront to us and take care of collections, credit checks, etc. and charge the tenants a fee for use, seems like Flex is...

Monica Windham We actually do both with on a portfolio I’m involved with. We actually forgot that we had Flex, once it’s set up, they’re just cut on in the background and handle marketing to tenants. Best Egg is integrated with AppFolio so we just left it on. The adoption rate between the two is about 20% last I checked.

Sherri Vittatoe We offer flex at our communities and the residents that qualify to use the service like it. I have had a couple of people say they were not approved, which surprised me because our criteria is pretty strict.

Tracy Jamison I've used Flex at previous companies. Great for folks that don't get paid by the rent grace period. People who are oncerned with fee, the fee for Flex is much lower than a late fee and late and worth it for no "late payment notices" on their rental history

Tell Tim he needs to be respectful too.
