Episode notes
Pre-Leasing Keeps Units Rented
- Matt pre-leases units up to 90 days before move-out and schedules vendors to finish turns by day 10 post-move.
- He credits a vendor crew (including his father's firm) for reliably completing fast turnovers.
Outsource Daily Bank Recs
- Use an outsourced accounting partner for daily bank reconciliations and monthly reviews.
- Keep corporate bookkeeping in QuickBooks with a separate bookkeeping firm to minimize in-house work.
Know Per-Unit Cost Of Services
- Track per-unit cost of software, vendors, and resident benefits to know true cost of service.
- Luke finds his per-unit hard costs are less than what his resident benefit package charges.
