Deep dives
Focus on Quality over Quantity
In this podcast episode, Pete Newbig discusses the importance of prioritizing quality over quantity in property management. He shares his own experience of initially taking on any and every property, only to realize later that some properties were causing more headaches than they were worth. He emphasizes the need to evaluate the quality of properties and owners, grading them from A to F based on factors such as property condition, owner cooperation, and time required for management. By cutting out problematic properties and focusing on those that align with their standards, property managers can improve efficiency, profitability, and team satisfaction.
Implementing Portfolio Grading
Peter Tverdoff, founder of Tverdoff Housing, provides insights into his portfolio grading system. He explains that they conduct an annual review in November, where the property management team grades owners, properties, and time required for management. Owners are graded based on factors like trust and cooperation, properties are judged on their condition and rental viability, and time is assessed based on the level of attention each property demands. This grading system helps identify problematic properties and owners that may be causing inefficiencies or challenges for the property management team. By recognizing and addressing these issues, property managers can improve their operations and focus on higher-quality properties.
The Impact of Efficient Grading
Peter shares how implementing portfolio grading and making tough decisions to remove problematic properties from their portfolio has positively impacted their business. They have witnessed an improvement in efficiency, profitability, and team satisfaction. By cutting out underperforming properties and owners, they have been able to focus on higher-quality properties that offer better rental value. This strategic approach has led to increased revenue per unit and a more streamlined management process. Peter emphasizes the importance of being selective in property acquisition, prioritizing quality over quantity, and continually reassessing the portfolio to ensure optimal efficiency and success.
Challenges and Growth Opportunities
One of the challenges Peter's business currently faces is the pursuit of growth while maintaining a high standard of quality. They are focused on bringing on the right doors and avoiding properties that may cause issues in the future. The team is dedicated to growing the business in a sustainable manner, which involves careful selection of clients and properties that align with their standards. This deliberate approach ensures that their operations remain efficient and profitable, setting them up for continued success in the property management industry.
