Comment gérez-vous les postes vacants et les chiffres d’affaires de votre portefeuille locatif ?

Vacancies are going to naturally happen but the key is to make the turnover as seamless and budget friendly for your landlords as possible . This is accomplished long before the vacancy but at the lease signing. Choosing great tenants is the key to quick turnovers. Normal wear and tear can be expected and is a reasonable risk landlords must accept. Initially choosing the wrong tenants is what makes the turnover cost prohibitive and lengthy. Choose tenants wisely!!

Make sure the new tenant has enough liquid funds in the bank to last 12 months without income. Always price the rental rates under market short term.

Screening is a proactive measure to ensure rent gets paid on time, but its efficiency differs according to local regulations. According to hundreds of my clients over the past 5-8 years, even the most thorough checks have been proven wrong. Engage with your prospective tenant and start a meaningful conversation. If unsure, some owners ask for 6 months or more of rent paid in advance.

We employ proactive strategies to minimize downtime. Thorough tenant screening ensures reliable occupants, reducing turnovers. Timely communication and addressing maintenance concerns promptly enhance tenant satisfaction, promoting lease renewals. When vacancies occur, we leverage digital marketing and professional photography to showcase properties, maximizing visibility. Streamlined application processes expedite tenant placement. Periodic property assessments guide preventative maintenance, minimizing unexpected issues. Additionally, competitive market analysis helps set optimal rental prices, attracting quality tenants. Our commitment is to maintain high occupancy rates while ensuring tenant satisfaction and property value.

RealPage did a survey recently that discovered 79% of renters would prefer to communicate with property management via text, chat, social media. Said another way, the potential tenant base overwhelmingly prefers to communicate via technology rather than in person or over the phone. As a result, property owners and managers need to create a fully developed, centralized communications hub handling the full lifecycle of tenant interaction from the initial contact until s/he vacates. It also needs to accommodate tenants’ payment preferences which are increasingly mobile and tech-enabled.

Studies suggest that most residents already make up their minds about renewal within the first several weeks of moving into a property. That being said there are a couple important things you can do to make sure your resident stays put. The first is to set your market rent correctly. Additionally, you need to make sure your property is ready for them to move in. Take advantage of the vacant unit to do things like replace old or outdated appliances that are on their last leg, improve the landscaping, and hire a professional to deep clean the property.

Management companies are a dime a dozen, carefully screen them before making a decision on which company best suits your product type. Check references and make sure their accounting dept. is local or you will be waiting to long for net income checks.

A great maintenance team and a hungry leasing staff is going to be your true #1, but what within the process are you taking advantage of that has helped set them up for success? Maintenance: Utilize the pre move out inspection to your advantage. Its a legal requirement that must be offered to tenants, might as well make this your opportunity to order the right supplies, pre-schedule the turn process, and revisit the timing of all your move outs. Could you re-structure move outs strategically to your advantage? Are you staffed properly at the time you need most? Having video of the exact unit fully completed and turn ready is always key to have. So get a perfect video made before the new tenants move in.
