7 WHY PROPERTY CLASSIFICATION MATTERS The market provides the only concrete way to determine the actual value of a property. If someone will buy or rent a property for a specific amount of money, well, then that is what that property is worth at least until the next time it is sold or rented. Unfortunately, a property s price tag when it sells isn t much help when it has been a while since it was on the market, or when market forces have thrown values off. The most expensive property on the market used to be a triplex penthouse in London that sold for $221 million in 2011 at the One Hyde Park Development. In December 2015, that record sale was broken by a Chateau Louis XIV mansion near Paris with a 56-acre park that is located between Versailles and Marley-le- Roi. The price tag for the mansion was $301 million. Admittedly, it has an aquarium, a cinema, a wine cellar, a fountain with gold leaf on it, marble statues, a maze built with hedges, and bridle paths. The mansion and its undoubtedly beautiful, expansive setting took three years to create. Here s a question for you: Does the mansion make the triplex less valuable? And when the Louis XIV mansion sells in years to come, what if there is no one who can afford to pay $301 million for a building that is no longer the oldest and grandest around? The relative and changing value of real estate suffers from the same problem you find in the art world. A work of art might be worth millions, for example, but not if no one can afford to buy it because of a recession, a depression, or a war. Even restoration has its hazards: Greek statues were originally painted. Art curators in the 1800s blasted the paint away because they liked the idea of a nice, white statue better than a painted one. Property Classification Continued on page 8 ISSUE

8 Property Classification Continued from page 7 During the same era, experts covered Michelangelo s David with wax, and then removed the wax with hydrochloric acid. The acid destroyed the statue s original patina. Anything valuable, whether it is a piece of art or a piece of real estate, can have its value reduced or destroyed by the wrong care. One good thing about being in real estate, however, is that at least you won t ever end up being the subject of an internet story about ruining a priceless work of art. An upgrade to a real-estate property is more likely to enhance property value than to destroy it, as long as the work is done professionally. At this point, two issues should be clear: The real-estate values you set, like everything else, are inescapably subjective. Once a property has been built, its value is determined by the interaction of so many different factors that it becomes essentially impossible to come up with a single, objective measurement. Just understand that your best guess is still a guess, even if you go about the process as methodically as you can. You still have to try. The goal is a fair price that people are willing and able to pay and that will be high enough to keep you in business. If you do a poor job of setting your price, either your business will fail or you won t make as much money as you could have. You need to understand your market, in other words, and then you need to evaluate the commercial worth of your properties accordingly. That means ranking them as best you can. Some people evaluate the worth of a property by its beauty, starting with curb appeal. Others opt for the age of the building, or the price per square foot. Each has its shortcomings. If you think a particular property is beautiful, other people might not agree. This is why so many properties have bland paint and carpet; at least if a building has a relatively neutral color palette, other factors the furniture, the textiles, and the art, for example can all be used to spice up the appearance of a building in a way that is easy to alter when styles change. Buildings are only new for a little while. Even for new buildings, you should still consider their quality, location, and the rental rates for the area. A wellexecuted and well-maintained example of a mid-century modern home designed by a notable architect is going to retain its value better than something newer that was put together for the least amount of money and effort possible. Price per square foot can be deceptive. If a rental has a small footprint, its price per square foot is probably going to be higher than a rental with more space. A property where most of the rentals are small is likely to rank higher than a property with more generous amounts of space per apartment. That can distort the results; you think you are comparing apples to apples by looking at price per square foot, but the market for tiny It is always less expensive to fix a small problem than a large one, and so catching problems while they can still be categorized as small is a key strategy for maximizing resources instead of wasting them. apartments has a different demographic than the market for larger ones, so you really aren t. Price per square foot only works if the overall square footage is approximately the same as well. Since only looking at one characteristic doesn t work, throw out the idea of even trying for the single, subjective measurement, and work instead on the more practical (and common) idea of looking at a number of other characteristics instead. Top-quality, Class A assets generally have the following attributes, all of which measure the extremes of the high-end market: Highest cost to buy or rent Highest price per square foot Highest quality Latest technology Luxurious finishes and amenities Modern architecture Newest architecture Prime location Professional management Tallest Very accessible Anything that qualifies for the Class A list is considered to be the best of its kind. Anything that falls short is allocated to the Class B or Class C list. Although some items on the list are objective, others are still quite subjective. You know whether a building is the tallest building in the city, and you can calculate whether it has the highest price per square foot, but how exactly do you rank those luxurious finishes and amenities, and who decides whether something has the highest quality or not? Despite these problems, you still need to do the best job you can and to be as objective as possible. Doing so has the following advantages: 8

9 The better the job you can do, the more like it is that the market will agree with your valuation. You can better pinpoint market strengths for a particular property. It s easier to track the property s relative investment grade over time. You can write more accurate forecasts about what is likely to happen with an asset class. You will be more knowledgeable when selecting a new development site because you will better understand what makes one site better than another. To be as objective as possible, evaluate more than one aspect of a property in your effort to determine its value. It s also important to try and recognize any biases you have so you can take them into account. Start by determining the following: The unit mix for the asset. Rent per square foot. A property-level fair market rent. Once that s done, you need to look at the market as a whole: What is the market-wide fair market rent? Look at the submarket as well as the overall market, and consider zip codes, too. How does the apartment complex differ in value from what other apartment complexes are charging? What is the area s average household income? What about employment in the area? How can taking a view that is both macro and micro help you come up with a better valuation? Suppose you evaluate a property and determine that a particular property ranks as a B+ in its submarket because it is a high-rise in an already-expensive downtown area. If you look at the market as a whole, however, you might realize that its high fair market rents actually put it into A territory. Look at another example. Maybe you own a midrise that was built during the 2000s in a nice suburb next to a big city. When you look at its submarket or its zip code, it looks like an A- to you. However, the fair-market rents in the nearby city and the presence of an expensive nearby submarket might cause you to downgrade the classification to a B. Property classification matters because it tells you whether you are charging a reasonable price or not. Simply put, you will enjoy greater, more lasting profits if you do your homework and look at the market realistically. Isn t that the whole point of running a successful business?

11 Advertising in your association s trade journal is a solid approach to business development. In fact, a recent survey done via the PPA called The Essential Medium, found B2B publications - such as CTAA, to be the number one information source within any given industry when compared to other media. In the survey, respondents were asked whether they agreed or disagreed with a series of attitude statements and the PPA compiled the data, resulting in the percentages. Verbatim responses were collected by the survey, which are added to exemplify the points. Here are a few excerpts: Business publication are rated the first choice for staying in touch with what s going on in their sector by 61% percent of decision makers. 83% of managers would recommend to people starting a career in their sector to read the business publications. If I didn t read them I wouldn t know what s going on. 71% of decision makers believe that B2B magazines are essential reading. I would be lost without my business publications. With the information we gather from the publications, we can determine if we are on the right track or if we need to change direction.

12 HOW TO HANDLE RESIDENT PROBLEMS AND PROBLEM RESIDENTS When you manage an apartment community, you can be sure that you will be dealing with people on a constant basis. Combine that with the expectations, opinions, and passion most people feel when it comes to their own home, and you already know that success requires you to have strong people skills and a good sense for how to solve problems as effectively, and as positively, as possible. It starts with understanding the difference between resident problems and problem residents. They usually aren t the same thing. How can you tell which are which? Problem residents fall into three categories: Those who either don t pay, or are late paying, their rent. Tenants who make trouble with their neighbors. Anyone who damages the property. It should be obvious what you need to do if you have a problem resident, and it probably involves that person moving. Everybody else is a resident with a problem, and should be handled accordingly. When you are dealing with residents who have a problem, it is important to remember that they expect a high level of service that matches the high rent they are paying you in order to live in the apartment community you manage. They expect great service, no hassles, and a peaceful environment. Anything that falls short of that expectation is likely to upset them. What are some of the problems tenants might have? There s a wide range of possibilities, of course, but in general the problem is going to be one of the following: Service that is slow or incomplete. Conflicts with members of your onsite staff. Inconvenience. For example, problems with parking availability or access to laundry services might well present an inconvenience. 12

13 Professional Distance That means working as hard as you can not to give residents good reason to be angry because of a mistake made by management. Neighbors who are noisy or who ignore rules. Crime. What is the best way to deal with such problems? Rick Ellis, the president of Ellis Consulting Group, has managed and operated apartment communities and residential rental real estate since 1980 and now works as a consultant or a speaker about these sorts of issues. Mr. Ellis has had as many as 6,000 units in four separate markets, all large. He offers the following suggestions: Courtesy Professional distance A focus on solutions Following through Courtesy Rick Ellis recommends being friendly, enthusiastic, and professional (FEP). That s always the starting point, no matter what kind of resident you are facing. The advantage to putting the FEP strategy to work is that it minimizes conflict. The second a situation escalates, the chance for a peaceful resolution is diminished. FEP can help you soothe heated emotions so that you actually can find a workable solution for everyone involved. If a tenant is upset enough to start yelling profanities at you, some professional distance can help you maintain your calm. The yelling won t be personal most of the time. There s a simple reason for that. The tenant who is venting really doesn t know you at all. That is important to remember because if you don t, you are likely to respond by getting upset in return. In addition, keep in mind that arguing is only going to escalate the mess, so you want to avoid that route. It s impossible to argue with someone who won t argue back. Contention is a contagious thing. If someone is really upset, their negative emotions can easily transfer to you. It s something like two strings that start to vibrate at the same frequency. Not falling into the escalation trap is difficult, but you can protect yourself by deliberately choosing what you think and repeating it silently to yourself as often as necessary. Your mantra in such situations should be something along the lines of, This isn t personal. Once you ve got that thought firmly in mind, the next step is to do something disarming, and to do it as early as possible in the exchange. Keep in mind that what you say needs to match the tone of voice you use. For example, you might simply say, I m so sorry with as much sincerity and force as you can manage. Resident Problems Continued on page 14 Hospitals, universities, municipalities and manufacturers rely on Torrco to meet their plumbing, heating, cooling, stream specialties & process piping needs. Apartment communities are homes, but managing that community is a business. Your job is to make money for the owner by increasing the value of the property through good management. That means working as hard as you can not to give residents good reason to be angry because of a mistake made by management. Correcting someone when you don t have the full story, or feeling angry because someone is angry about something that has happened, won t increase property value. You want to be as kind and patient as you can in any encounter with a tenant. That means you should continue to be courteous no matter what: it s free, it works, and it calms people down. (800) ISSUE

14 Resident Problems Continued from page 13 Saying you are sorry does not mean the problem is your fault. You are apologizing as the representative of the company, not as a person. What an apology communicates is that you have heard the tenant and you are sorry for the pain being experienced. Just hearing an acknowledgement of someone s frustration can do wonders when it comes to helping people calm down. Other apology options you could try might include the following: I m sorry you are unhappy with your apartment. I want to work with you to fi x the problems. I m sorry the repairs haven t been made yet. Let me find a way to make that up to you. I m so sorry about your frustration. I would feel the same way, and I will do what I can to help you. A Focus on Solutions The next step to handling a problem is to stay focused on solutions instead of on blame. You don t want to come across as being either dismissive or callous. If something is an issue for a tenant, it needs to be an issue for you as well. Equally, if you don t have all the information about a situation, you need to do what you can to get that information. Anything less feels disrespectful from the tenant s point of view. What you do need to be talking about are ways to resolve any issue that has developed. It s not your business to be thinking about whether it really is a problem or not, because the tenant is the person who gets to decide that point. Your business is to look for peaceful resolutions. Tell the tenant that you understand there is a problem and then tell them what you, or someone else, will do to fi x it. Following Through Following through actually has two parts. The first part is doing what you said you were going to do, and then making sure it gets done. The second part is figuring out how to prevent that problem from ever occurring again. When you think about it, the issue here is not just maintenance, or parking, or what have you. The underlying issue is whether your tenants are getting the kind of service from management that they have a right to expect. Part of that service consists of anticipating problems and then being proactive about preventing them. Another idea to consider is giving the tenant a gift of some kind, such as a certificate to an expensive restaurant as an apology. The gift won t work if the problem hasn t been solved, but if you did fi x whatever needed to be fi xed, or there are firm plans for a solution in place, then the tenant will probably be delighted by your thoughtful gesture.

16 HOT MULTIFAMILY OUTDOOR LIVING TRENDS Today s rental market consists of many people who rent by choice as well as by necessity. Two generations in particular are shaping the market: The millennial generation is coming of age, and its members often want the ease and flexibility of being able to move from one place to another on short notice. They like being in the middle of an urban setting with walkable neighborhoods, convenient access to work and the cultural arts, and plenty of choices when it comes to healthy food. In contrast, the baby boom generation is entering retirement in larger and larger numbers, and those who are retiring often like the idea of a life that can finally be focused on relationships, memory building, and final achievements instead of taking care of a home and a yard that always need money and attention. As of 2015, there were 38 million renters throughout the U.S., and an increase of 1.6 million renters since What do all these multigenerational renters want? The most important thing is a good location located near public transportation. However, someone looking for a new place to live is likely to find several different communities that are all in acceptable locations. When that s the case, what causes someone to decide to live in one convenient place instead of another? Outdoor amenities have become increasingly important to potential tenants. It used to be that people tried to bring the outside indoors. Now the trend has completely reversed. Manufacturers have been able to create furniture and appliances that function outside without any problem. As a result, outdoor living trends that blur the line between an indoor and an outdoor feeling have been more popular throughout the U.S. in general since 2007, so it should come as no surprise that people who live in apartments want to get in on all that outdoor action. Managers at upscale multifamily properties are creating enhanced outdoor living spaces for their residents to enjoy. These outdoor areas often have heating elements and covered spots so that the space is still usable if the weather is not quite perfect. People are interested in seeing complete outdoor kitchens and elegant furnishings that are tough enough to handle sun and rain without a problem. 16

17 Not only do existing residents appreciate the idea of spending time outdoors in an attractive setting, so do prospective tenants. Club rooms often open onto outdoor areas with multifunctional spaces. Rooftop decks are also known as party decks. They are usually divided into several areas so that multiple groups of people can use them at the same time without feeling too crowded. Chairs and sofas would be just as appropriate in a living room as they are on a deck, porch, patio, or other outdoor space. A pool is often close by. Outdoor ovens are another popular option. So are sinks, weatherproof cabinets, refrigerators, and dishwashers. Fire pits, fireplaces, and LED lighting on stairs and railing make the area comfortable and safe when the temperature drops and it gets dark. Comfort zones feature hammocks or conversation areas with pillows. Weatherproof drapery can be used to define distinct spaces and add color and pattern at the same time. Outdoor entertainment systems make it possible to listen to music or to watch a movie or sports event. These are especially important to young professionals who want to spend time with friends but have small apartments. Plants and flowers bring outdoor areas to life. Pergolas, outdoor area rugs, and weather-resistant throw blankets can also become part of the mix. Not only do existing residents appreciate the idea of spending time outdoors in an attractive setting, so do prospective tenants. Some people consider pizza ovens to be the most popular option of all. Most people enjoy eating it, and the process of putting one or more pizzas together is an entertaining way to spend an afternoon or evening. It makes sense. One effect of the Great Recession was to reduce the size of individual units. A good way to prevent a tenant from feeling cramped when there just isn t a lot of space available inside is to make sure that there is plenty of shared community space available outside. Manufacturers have responded to the demand for outdoor furniture and appliances by creating more durable and stylish options. For example, Sunbrella Fabrics, a company that has been in business since 1961, began creating more durable fabrics in 2002 and is now offering its customers a five-year warranty to cover problems with outdoor fabric fading prematurely. That is good use for those who are responsible for managing these multifamily communities, because it means items such as cushions don t have to be replaced every other year any more. Offering tenants a place to do their cooking outside in a shared area is a good idea in part because many communities have banned cooking on private apartment patios and decks. Apartment communities that are going after a niche market might also want to consider amenities such as garden plots, workshops, communal bike storage, dog runs, and stations for washing pets. However, it is important to make sure that apartment managers are targeting the right amenities for the tenants they want to attract. It used to be that pet-friendly apartments were the exception instead of the rule. That has changed. Now, many people are looking for communities that welcome animals and even have pet spas to accommodate them. What else are people interested in? The National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) and Kingsley Associates, whose professional focus is on strategic consulting, research, and data analysis, conducts an annual survey about the preferences of apartment residents. For the survey that was conducted in August 2015, the survey was sent to more than 500,000 residents. There were almost 120,000 responses. Survey respondents were residents at 22 different industry-leading firms that either own or operate 1.2 million rental units throughout the U.S. People from 3,280 different communities responded. The survey found that the top five amenities for the community as a whole were: Parking (94 percent) Pool (83 percent) Fitness Center (82 percent) Secured community access (80 percent) Recycling (80 percent) The top five amenities for the actual apartments were: High-speed Internet (94 percent) Walk-in closet (89 percent) Soundproof walls (88 percent) Patio or balcony (87 percent) Washer and dryer in the unit (87 percent) What do these amenities indicate? High-end apartment communities are becoming more and more like high-end resorts. Tenants want, and appreciate, everything from coffee bars to concierge services. ISSUE

18 KEEPING Decorating, dressing up in costumes, and eating Halloween-related goodies is fun. Vandalism and accidents are not. You can help keep Halloween a great holiday just by the plans you make to prepare for it. The following suggestions are some good ways to protect your properties and your tenants without coming across as someone who just doesn t enjoy having a fun time. One important side benefit of celebrating Halloween is that the festivities will ideally develop friendships and good feelings. People who like each other and FUN enjoy getting together are people who are less likely to fight or complain. General Advice Check the smoke detectors to make sure they are working correctly. Discourage the use of any candle other than one that runs on a battery. Provide bright outdoor lighting for common areas and all walkways. Check all bulbs and replace any that aren t working. As much as possible, replace fragile glass and fi xtures with materials that can t be broken. Make sure gates, garages, and entries are locked in any areas where you want to discourage traffic. The idea is to minimize unauthorized access. Lock up any vacant property. Many vandals and thieves target anything empty. Check for tools and equipment that would be easy to vandalize. Lock them up ahead of time whenever you can. If someone does vandalize a property, have it cleaned up as fast as possible. It might not be wise to confront anyone who is vandalizing a property. Instead, report the vandalism to the police. Schedule extra people to work as janitors and provide security, or hire a security company to patrol your property for the times they are most likely to be needed. For example, if someone has a Halloween party on a night other than Halloween, the night of the party might be another good night to increase the number of available security personnel. Remind your tenants about any policies you have about parties and noise. Be polite about it, but also let them know about any possible consequences or fines. Multifamily Rentals Invite the local police department to make a presentation for residents about Halloween safety. If residents are allowed to trick-ortreat with children, set a range of hours. Decide whether the trickor-treating is only for tenants, or whether other neighbors can also participate. You might want residents to sign up in advance about whether they will be giving candy. Have a list of those who are participating ready to hand out to trick-or-treaters. Alternatively, have people put up a sign on their front door if they have candy they want to donate. Encourage people to go in groups. Hand out flashlights, glow sticks, reflector lights, stickers, and bags 18

19 Have a fall festival. Decorate a suitable location, show Halloween movies, decorate pumpkins, make crafts, play games, eat Halloween fare, and hand out door prizes. Use decorated pumpkins from the festival around the property. of candy to your residents from the front office or a lobby. As an alternative to trick-or-treating, have residents donate candy. Your staff can use the donations to fill up bags and distribute them to residents. Talk to local organizations and businesses about sponsoring special Halloween events. Have a fall festival. Decorate a suitable location, show Halloween movies, decorate pumpkins, make crafts, play games, eat Halloween fare, and hand out door prizes. Use decorated pumpkins from the festival around the property. If you decide to do a family friendly Halloween party, do it in the early evening or on another day. Make it potluck for residents, and provide the drinks. Have the staff dress up in costumes. Invite residents to decorate front porches or patios. Put your website or your social media accounts to work and let tenants know what your plans are. Office Rentals Give your tenants some treats to enjoy at the office as a way of showing your appreciation for them: hot or cold apple cider, caramel apples, donuts, and pumpkin chocolate-chip cookies are all good choices. Invite tenants to decorate their cubicles or to come to work in costume. Have awards for the most creative one, the funniest one, the scariest one, and so on. Suggest that tenants trick-or-treat from cubicle to cubicle, or to each floor in the building. Have a Halloween party for anyone in the building. Local businesses could sponsor booths, and you could play appropriate music or video clips for people to enjoy. One good choice would be Halloween episodes of The O ffi c e. Hold a food drive for a food pantry or homeless shelter. Retail Rentals Host a trick-or-treat event on a specific day and for a specific time. Invite stores to pass out candy to the children who come by during that time. Have a costume contest. Invite children and pets to participate. Hand out a variety of prizes. Invite retailers to decorate for Halloween, and give prizes to the winners. If you have a little space available, lease it temporarily to seasonal retailers at a good price. Use social media websites to tell people what you have planned and to encourage participation. Blue Wave Pool Service and Supplies, Inc.

20 WATER COOLER WinnCares Each year, WinnResidential makes it a priority to give back to the communities in which it provides housing. One of the ways in which they accomplish this is with a charitable initiative known as WinnCares. WinnCares is an annual event for each region of the company and takes place at a new location each year. In September of 2015, Winn s CT region teamed up with Family Services of Greater Waterbury for the annual WinnCares event. Over 50 Winn employees showed up to Family Service s Murray Street location to provide a variety of repairs and upgrades to their 9,000 square foot facility. The upgrades included painting, cleaning, maintenance repairs, and landscaping, just to name a few. Family Services was kind enough to award Winn for their efforts at their annual Blue Jeans Ball this past March. This year s WinnCares event took place on Friday, October 21st at Riverside Park in Hartford. Winn will be providing maintenance, painting, and landscaping for Riverfront Recapture and hosted another successful and mutually beneficial event!
