The primary challenge with managing communities specifically catering to college students is the dreaded “turn.” In some instances, a manager can experience 80% of his or her entire community population move out July 31 only to be completely replaced ten days later by all new residents eager to start their new semester in college.
How can management prepare for such a huge endeavor? How can your maintenance staff cope with the sheer volume of work in such a short period? The consequences of failure can be ruinous! Not only can it be financially devastating, a poorly executed turn can effect community reputation and future leasing for years to come! If this challenge is in your future, be afraid. Be very afraid!
Fortunately, there is hope! Student housing professionals across the nation successfully undertake this challenge year after year and have developed and perfected the management techniques and planning skills to ensure successful turns nearly 100% of the time. In this webinar Jennifer Cassidy and Michael Hanley will cover all aspects of successful turn planning and management from the perspective of the site staff and also address the issues of corporate oversight and accountability management.
Join Jennifer Cassidy and Michael Hanley, on this special recorded broadcast to learn the art and science of a successful ‘turn’ in student housing!
