Property Management

> Minimizing tenant turnover translates to increased revenue. Retaining existing tenants helps you sidestep the challenges of extended vacancies, advertising costs, and potential loss of rent over several months. Seeking new tenants often involves a slew of tasks, effectively doubling your workload.

Naturally, there's always potential to boost tenant stability rates. Concentrating on specific strategies can make tenant retention almost effortless.

Strategies for Prolonging Tenant Occupancy:

  • Cultivate a sense of community and organize social gatherings at your property.

  • Quickly respond to repair and maintenance request.

  • Adopt and implement property technology solutions.

  • Actively seek tenant feedback and address their concerns promptly.

Other Top News, Reports and Insights

> Utah Housing Audit finds urgent need to address its housing shortage and diversify housing types to keep up with population growth. Legislative auditors recommend that Utah should build nearly 28,000 housing units a year and shift towards higher-density housing to avoid exacerbating the shortage. They also suggest implementing policies to increase zoning density and encourage varied housing types.

Key takeaways:

  • Urgent Housing Shortage: Utah needs to build about 28,000 housing units annually to match its forecasted population growth.

  • Shift from Single-Family Homes: Continuing to focus primarily on single-family homes is seen as problematic, with a push for more diverse and higher-density housing.

  • Policy Recommendations: The audit suggests increasing zoning density and using incentives and penalties to ensure compliance with housing goals, drawing on examples from other states and countries. (More)

> Decline in builder confidence due to high mortgage rates, but anticipation of improved housing market conditions in the coming months, marked by a decrease in mortgage rates and an increase in housing demand. (More)

> High rents, combined with escalating home prices and mortgage rates, are making homeownership increasingly elusive. In 2022, a median-priced single-family home rental consumed about 40% of the average U.S. household's income. California and Florida metros have the least affordable rents, while areas like Cleveland and Jacksonville, North Carolina, offer more affordable options. The ongoing challenge is improving affordability amidst rising rents and stagnant household incomes.  (More)
