We are doing our best to standardize the units, but many of the units have different layouts, finishes, market rents etc. 

We use Appfolio and have just recently started using the scheduler for work orders.

Hi everyone on BP. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same issue our PM company currently is and if there were any solutions out there. We own a portfolio of about 250 units comprised of small garden-style complexes and duplexes. It has been a difficult to manage them all because they are not in a central location. Additionally, we do not have the proper facility to house an inventory. This has led to us making several trips per week to stores like Lowe's and Home Depot to fetch supplies. I was wondering if anyone out there may have an idea of how we could incorporate using an "inventory" to stock supplies while we try to locate the proper facility to house supplies. Our goal is to help cut down drive times and have a quicker turnaround on work orders and make-ready's. Any advice is much appreciated!

Hi all,

I work at a property management company based in MO that owns and manages a portfolio of about 250 properties. We own our portfolio is comprised of a 50-unit complex, a 100-unit duplex community, and about 100 other properties spread out across a few cities. We are looking to convert to a smart lock system to help reduce the cost of rekeying, time wasted locating keys, and travel time. Does anyone out there have a good recommendation for a smart lock system that has the capacity to manage 250 locks on one platform remotely?
