Owners of apartments and other rental income properties can more than double their net operating profit by managing their properties themselves. Property management software packages however, are expensive, inflexible and hard to learn, can be used for only a single property or a limited number of units, and are saddled with inflexible and limited quasi-accounting databases.
Accounting programs like QuickBooks Pro can keep track of the income and expenses from rental properties, but do not: track leases; calculate the financial statistics necessary to gauge the effectiveness of the property management; handle maintenance requests, jobs and contractors; determine potential income and losses to that income; list property information like unit number, type, occupants, lessee history, physical address, etc. to accounting information.
Highlights of Rent Roll Pro:
- Important financial calculations are shown on Rent Roll Pro's Main Screen to allow instant analysis.
- The Audit Screen reports, prints and / or exports leases or units fitting the selected criteria.
- Extensive contact information is available in the Contact Manager, eliminating the need for a contact and sales management program.
- Maintenance requests, jobs and extensive history can be traced from start to finish with the click of a button.
- Work Orders (and, if necessary, Stop Work Orders) create a secure paper trail for Maintenance audits.
- The Unit Mix calculates potential income per type, per square foot and per property, allowing easy comparisons of types; Price changes are a snap; one entry changes all units with that type
- non-rental Additional Charges and Fees can be charged to residents, either as supplemental invoices or as recurring charges on scheduled rental invoices
- Moving Schedules and Unit History schedules moving dates; records previous residents, historical notes, and settlement records; applies accepted applicants as new residents or to waiting lists.
- Pro-Rated Invoices (including Additional Fees) can be calculated for residents moving in or out mid-month
- Unit Type Reports display vacancy percentages, economic losses and other important financial information for each type. This allows independent assessment of the performance of each unit type, as well as financial reports to individual property owners within a group file.
- Vacancy Reports show the Unit Type, Type Information and Ready Status or Ready Dates of available units
- Intuitive screen designs are easy to learn; quick navigation makes it easy to juggle maintenance, sales calls, rent payments, lease applications, etc.; push button operation means no key strokes need to be learned
Apartments and commercial rental real estate can be terrific real estate investments, provided the properties are analyzed as accurately as possible before purchase and managed correctly afterwards. Both the GPR, current and anticipated Economic Vacancy Percentages must be calculated as accurately as possible to determine the property's value.
Typically, property management software doesn't calculate the GPR or Economic Vacancy Percentage; real estate investment software doesn't assist property management - though in many cases the same information is used for both purposes.
Vacancies and contract rents are used in the GPR calculation. Additional important information like Economic Vacancy, Loss Due to Lease, Loss to Vacancies, and GPR per square foot are determined in the course of calculating the current GPR.
This software package provides the critical financial calculations necessary to determine the value and performance of rental income producing real estate as well as making it as easy as possible to handle the day to day tasks of managing such properties.
