Three distinct challenges topped the list of most-cited operator issues:
- Hiring/retaining talent – 53%
- Delinquent rent/bad debt – 41%
- New/changing legislation – 30%
Operators also identified ancillary income, technology/automation, and talent retention as the opportunities with the most potential to maximize NOI. The study explored survey results across five stages of the leasing process: leads and traffic; consideration phase and lead follow-up; leases and applications; move-ins, occupancy, and affordability; and move-out, renewals, and evictions.
“When we examine survey data in multifamily, it’s important to view it through a different lens for each step of the leasing process, resident life cycle, as well as employee engagement,” said Kendall Pretzer, CEO of Grace Hill. “The challenges shift for our teams and residents as customers progress through their residency, and it’s important to assess those issues and potential solutions comprehensively and chronologically. This asset performance survey reveals trends throughout each phase of the leasing journey and examines opportunities to strengthen operations.”
