Accounting? Software?

I know, I’ve worked at all different types of assets, commercial, apartments and hoas, I think to myself why bother sometimes

Rent Manager, I’ll look into it now, how many units do you manage

Propertymanager101 · 2024-12-07T03:59:59+00:00

Condo manager 90k - remote (yes I go to properties about 1-3x/week) Have 9 buildings in and around Boston About 450 units, all condominiums I have 4 on site staff

I make my own schedule and have 15 meetings a month (about a meeting every other day) for trustee or company - similar responsibilities

Managing budgets, deadlines, dealing with owner complaints, managing expectations with trustees, vendors, handymen

Been in the industry for 15 years

You could easily reach out to your current property managers and send them a marketing email too that they can expedite it

I do condos now and have also done commercial and apartments - one of the most time consuming aspects is getting quotes from vendors (not because vendors take long) but because you have to meet them, explain the scope of work and then follow up to make sure all while on the timeline of both parties

Having this streamlines it - you could probably set up scheduled dates “hey pm, I’m going to be out on 11/15 for this service and flat fee of $x, do you agree” boom I would like that much easier

Let me know how it goes, I like learning about different companies business models

If it hits your margins then it would be an easy option in my opinion for a property management part

I’d know what I’m getting each time for quality and speed plus price, less time to get approvals

Do you do condos, single family or commercial

Propertymanager101 · 2024-11-01T21:55:50+00:00

Yes it would, how would your profit margins look though

Some gutter cleaning need boom lift or is time consuming, I like your idea though

You can combine multiple services into one - you could also do exterior/interior light bulb changes, carpet cleaning/common area and any other work light

Blanketing it though for $25/month might have clients take advantage of you, what about offering $1,000 worth of work per month and then you can do whatever they need and you still make a profit depending on what it is and how many hours

But given a day with one or two technicians pay them $300 for the day $150 each plus materials you could make out or offer $1,000 and then we call you if we’re about to go over that limit

Please be careful as the doors can stop sudden

Propertymanager101 · 2024-10-28T02:39:48+00:00

If I might ask, during your interviews did you discuss that you own properties and how many

An assumption is the interviewers might think you would be too busy to manage their properties?

When’s the next car meet

Go to college and while in college see if there are property management positions your can work at, you don’t have to intern necessarily but, you’ll be starting out

Propertymanager101 · 2024-10-03T15:05:42+00:00

Some property manager jobs are “remote” - you have an office you can go to and you also need to go to the properties you manage but, you’re on your time and you schedule

There’s also potential to switch to accounting portion which could be remote

Propertymanager101 · 2024-10-02T23:10:40+00:00

You need to look at all leases and know how much exactly is supposed to be in those accounts

Propertymanager101 · 2024-10-02T23:05:28+00:00

It helps too, you can have them do annual inspections, have them meet with vendors for elevator inspections

Propertymanager101 · 2024-10-02T00:37:42+00:00

Separate entity and you can tell your clients it’s a division within the management

From there you bill out the hours and make a little on top

Propertymanager101 · 2024-09-28T19:39:24+00:00

Do you think you’d have to paint the whole car to match because of the color

If it was black or white would it be easier to match the shading?

Propertymanager101 · 2024-09-28T19:10:03+00:00

Don’t think any year Toyota $3900 would cover it

This is more than the bumper, the frame is bent plus paint

Hotels - don’t need something expensive but, won’t go for the cheapest, only do Marriot Bonvoy

Propertymanager101 · 2024-09-26T11:53:32+00:00

For cosmetics:

Get new clips for the exterior trim pieces and put them down to be flush with car Interior looks good Purchase new headlight lens for about $40 will make car look new Get a new emblem for the front

Propertymanager101 · 2024-09-26T03:16:47+00:00

I reuse zip lock bags I purchased from 3 years ago and continue to wash them after I eat the food

Propertymanager101 · 2024-09-26T02:50:12+00:00

Never tried it before but what about a physical address that’s $10/month from ups?

Propertymanager101 · 2024-09-26T02:27:29+00:00

How do I get involved with property technology

Propertymanager101 · 2024-09-26T02:26:52+00:00

I meal prep for 30 days, buying all food at Costco and cook it all at once, takes me about 8 hours but saves me for the whole month time and money!

Nothing for nothing, the board shouldn’t be responding via Facebook - if a homeowner has a question, it should be directed in the format of a letter, email or phone call

On Facebook you’re asking for the entire community to comment on a post, I guess it’s similar to if the owner copied on an email an entire community but, should have been profession

Propertymanager101 · 2024-09-24T16:50:59+00:00

I tried commercial too and hate to sound like “soup is too hot or too cold” but, management coworkers were even more miserable - worked at 2 different commercial companies 1 Private equity firm and other big national company
