A Keen Focus on Business Growth

We’ve discussed the topic of growth and profitability in many posts, and they are vital topics for property management companies.

There are a good number of property managers who are keen on growing their businesses either through new clients or by acquiring properties themselves.

With rent revenues rising so high, investors and landlords are jumping more aggressively into the rental sector in 2022. 18% of homes sold in Florida were by investors with rental market ambitions. Landlord investors across the US too are finding whatever existing properties might have potential and some are eyeing the built to rent sector too.

This market recovering from the pandemic is hot across the US. In fact, Mordor Intelligence forecasts in their outlook that 100,000 more property management companies will appear by 2024.

A Return to Growth as Key Business Objective

NARPM’s recent industry review shows tenants took at big leap in importance during the pandemic. Yet with the easing of the pandemic, property managers should once again refocus on growth and revenue.  And if these companies earn about 20% of revenue, then the financial rewards for growth during a fast rising rent period is obvious.

That survey found the intent to achieve significant growth was 12% higher for the next two years. And moderate growth was cited by 39% more. The intend to achieve that via recruiting new clients and by encouraging clients to acquire new properties.  A further 38% stated they would acquire properties themselves.

Success is All About Timing

Success is about timing. It’s these waves of technology and market demand that create the next great companies. Search brought on Google and EV tech brought on Tesla.  And it’s more than just management going digital and paperless. This is the era of digital services and young tenants who demand online service and connectivity.

It’s a unique opening for bigger budgets, new equipment, added staff and services, to generate big profits. And nothing protects you from business failure or recession better than capturing marketshare with a larger base of clients. Growth is a solution.

Low interest rates, high tax benefits, and record demand means the profit picture is amazing. This generates excellent opportunity for property management firms to capture new owner clients. Some owners are seeking a completely new property management services firm. Many traditional shops simply can’t handle growth and aren’t using new digital technologies. Success goes to the prepared.
