Due to unplanned expenses related to COVID-19 and lack of funds from resident collections, owners are forced to reduce budgeted expenses. So how do we continue to provide a great resident experience on a limited or non-existent budget? This can be altered due to recent times and planning for the future.
Do you want to provide gold standard service to your residents, but are finding that you have limited time, people and resources to compete with the bigger management companies? Don’t fret! This webinar will show you how these Independent Rental Owners (IROs) are having fun, while getting the job done all while wowing their customers.
