Tyson Scheutze The Price of Property Management

These are some of the ways the clients could be affected by property managers who are not prepared: Extended VacanciesInadequate marketing strategies and tenant screening processes can result in prolonged vacancy periods, translating into substantial lost rental income.High tenant turnover due to poor resident relations further exacerbates vacancy losses.Inadequate Maintenance and RepairsNeglecting preventive maintenance and delaying necessary repairs can lead to accelerated property deterioration and higher long-term repair costs.This can also negatively impact tenant satisfaction, contributing to higher turnover rates.Legal and Compliance IssuesLack of knowledge or disregard for landlord-tenant laws and regulations can expose investors to costly legal disputes and penalties.Failure to properly handle security deposits, evictions, or fair housing practices can result in significant financial liabilities.Ineffective Financial ManagementInaccurate budgeting, expense tracking, and financial reporting can lead to uninformed decision-making and missed opportunities for cost savings.Failure to optimize tax strategies and leverage available deductions can further reduce net returns.Diminished Property ValueInadequate maintenance, high vacancy rates, and poor tenant screening can negatively impact a property’s perceived value and appreciation potential.This can significantly affect the long-term return on investment when it comes time to sell the asset.While a 10% management fee may seem reasonable for a well-performing property manager, the cumulative impact of mismanagement can quickly escalate the effective cost to investors, potentially outweighing any perceived savings on the management fee itself.

Jake Harrington Is hard money recommended for your first flip?
8 June 2024 | 21 replies
Quote from @Robin Simon: Its definitely dependent on a lot of variables, personal situation/risk tolerance, etc.But high-level, I would say that there can certainly be a balance - sometimes people forget that when using hard money or any sort of financing, for some reason you need to "MAX out leverage" - i.e. do a 100% financing for a flip or a max cash-out refinance etc..However, most hard money lenders would be totally willing to do a lower leverage loan (and would probably prefer it) such as 50% or 60% LTC instead of the usual max amount.
