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.

I would skip this for sure.Agreed, it's not legal or proper to give out the names or phone numbers of your borrowers without their permission.There's absolutely nothing inappropriate or unseemly about offering up borrowers willing to share their lender experiences with another potential borrower.The private lending landscape is littered with scammers and bad actors.
