Introduction of Financial KPIs
The initiative to develop financial key performance indicators (KPIs) aims to provide property managers with standardized metrics that enhance operational insights. This effort, spearheaded by experts like Mike Nelson from Excalibur Homes, seeks to consolidate various financial data into an accessible database. By distributing a 16-question survey to members, NARPUM plans to gather essential information that will be stored confidentially, ensuring privacy for individual contributors. Members will be able to log into the NARPUM website to view general market averages while maintaining the confidentiality of their personal data.
Survey Utility and Metrics Generation
The survey has been designed for ease of completion, allowing members to generate meaningful metrics without requiring extensive financial knowledge. Questions will focus on specific areas, such as income from property management, payroll expenses, and advertising costs, providing members with actionable insights into their operational efficiency. By understanding costs related to acquiring new accounts and associated lifetime values, property managers can better assess the effectiveness of their investments. Ultimately, this initiative enhances the value of NARPM membership by offering members comparative insights against national averages, fostering improved industry performance.
