Rent control is a controversial topic in the real estate world, since market changes in this area can have a dramatic impact on both investment and property management businesses. . With recent changes in California and Oregon law, several states now have state-wide rent control regulations. Some states, such as New York, have new jurisdictions with rent control rules in place, while others follow the Dillon rule, which means that cities or districts may implement rent control measures, but they

When I was growing up, my family must have moved a dozen times. After the first few moves, we had it down to a science: timed out, scheduled, down to the last box. Despite our best efforts, plans would change, move-out and move-in days would shift, and the experience would stress the entire family out. Despite the stress, we always managed to settle in our new home and sell our old one before the start of school.

According to the National Association of REALTORS® , 88 percent of home buyers start their search online, forming impressions within three seconds of viewing a listing. When a home is well staged, it photographs well and makes the kind of the first impression that encourages buyers to take the next step.

It happens to even the best property managers — the occasional stinging online review. Sometimes, the resident is justified in their complaint, and it’s up to you to make things right. But many times, the review contains false information, or the resident is simply confused about the facts of the situation. These misleading reviews also tend to be highly emotional, expressing the resident’s anger about their perceived negative experience.
