Question: for communities charging monthly pet rent and/or initial pet fees:
(1) do you get questions about why you charge those, (2) if you do, what are your answers? I’m surprised there are still rental properties that do don’t accept pets and others that do but don’t charge pet rent &/or pet fees—but they are out there. Thanks!

Your true competitors–do you know who they are? Identifying your true competition is vital for making strategic decisions that enhance your financial position and ensure long-term success of your properties. Traditional market survey methods–calling up and comparing floor plans and rents of nearby communities targeting the same resident demographics–are outdated and insufficient. This cumbersome process barely scratches the surface of ident ...

Sorry for a duplicate post. I searched and saw some feedback but it was from a few years ago. We are just starting our research on changing our PMS from Real Page to Yardi or Entrada. We are a mix of conventional and military housing. I want to hear it all, pros, cons for Yardi and Entrada. We...

Think of it like a mix of yardi and realpage/onesite. Again, not my favorite but they switched because Yardi couldn't keep up with the demand.
Entrada is very user friendly, but I don’t like the flow of it. It almost was too simple if that makes sense. Also they don’t have other components to integrate with.
Yardi is not super user friendly but I like the flow of it. I like the fact that you can do the same thing no matter where you are in Yardi. I feel like the invoice flow is much better than Entrada. Yardi also has other products that come with voyager, like CRM which manages the flow of your traffic, prospects, follow ups ect. It also flows with Hapoy co which is a great tool as well for all unit inspections, move out inspections, property inspections ect. I feel like yardi is more versatile. But also more expensive. With yardi you have more options. But this is just my opinion.
Entrata has their own built in CRM. Yardi we always added Knock aka extra $$$ for adding the CRM. Yardi was developed by accountants so it’s great for reporting but accountants probably aren’t the best to design the leasing and marketing piece of the software and where it causes some odd flows in Yardi.
And we are also conventional and military housing. I feel like I wouldn’t know how to operate if I only had one vs. both. Yardi is used for the accounting items and Entrata is where the resident portal and items for resident file are.

I stopped going to a favorite restaurant lately.I loved this restaurant because it was close to my home, the food was good, the portions were fine, they'd work with some of my dietary preferences, and the price was fair.Because of this it my go to restaurant for everything from "date days" with my wife, to a place where we could met up with a group of people (and have everyone find something on the menu they'd like). The problem is ...
We are weighing the pros and cons of hiring additional maintenance techs versus using a make-ready company to turn over the apartments. If you are doing the make-readies in-house, does your lead maintenance take care of these or another maintenance tech? I'd love some feedback on what's working for you and its cost-effectiveness.

As far as ESAs go, we started using PetScreening, a 3rd party company that ALL residents must register with, even if they are not a pet owner. Pet owners pay $20/year and submit all of their documents, including ESA docs. PetScreening analyzes their information and presents it to us to make a final determination on pet/ESA. If the resident can't/won't submit... Show more
