Fitchburg Thu 2/7: Training and Networking

Fitchburg Thu 2/07: Property Management Software Solutions: The Free, The Cheap & The Steep

Come out and join us the first Thursday of the February (Note the change of date from the second Thursday of the month) for an educational and entertaining evening with your guest speakers Property Manager Debbie Greelish of Distinctive Homes Management Trust, and property manager Brian Lucier of Belaire Property Management LLC. In this presentation we will look at three different property management software solutions. First we will explore all that Google Drive has to offer in the way of spreadsheets, dashboards, documents and record keeping to keep your rental property running in the green with custom created documents to maximize the efficiency in running your business. Then Debbie will peel back the layers of Buildium, our first professional off-the-shelf software solution for the night. Debbie will walk through the work flow from listing your property, to screening residents, to the move in process and month-to-month tasks within this software package. Brian will then take you on a virtual tour of all the AppFolio has to offer to manage your rental property business. We will look at the many features available in this package and follow the flow from listing to lease up and much, much more. Finally we will summarize the solutions presented in our presentation and give our best recommendation as to if and when you may want to consider crossing over from the free tools to a complete property management software solution to optimize the scaleability of your rental operations.
