How’s my property doing? That the most important question that every property owner needs answers to. From day-to-day issues, financial performance, occupancy rates, marketing strategies to regular maintenance – you need information on every aspect. Sounds scary?

Well, you don’t need to worry, as there are professional property management companies who provide various real estate reports for a fee. They generate reports at regular intervals to ensure you get all the information you need and are able to take corrective action.

What Reports I Can Expect from a Property Management Company

There are different aspects of your property that need to be addressed, like profitability, rent collection and occupancy, routine repairs and maintenance, and current marketing strategies. Property management companies provide reports for each aspect discussed.

Here are some of the reports generated:

Financial Reports

The monthly financials help you determine the financial health of your property. Key financial statements like the profit and loss account and balance sheet provide valuable information when making financial decisions.

The budgets for various functions in the organization like marketing, maintenance and rentals are available, and any deviations from these budgets can be tracked, and remedial action taken.

All transactions are recorded in the general ledger, and it is possible to determine why a particular property is faring poorly.

Rental Reports

It is crucial as a property owner to find out if your tenants are paying on time, the occupancy rate of your property, whether a lease, is about to run out, rent roll, and vacancy listings.

As a rental property owner, the rental income is a major part of your monthly cash inflow. When you keep track of the above parameters, you can start listing your property, when the lease has a few months left before it runs out.

If you can manage your rent roll well, you can ensure a regular flow of income.

Task Reports

There are certain tasks related to the property which require supervision on a daily basis, like repairs or painting. Every time a contractor is appointed for any task, a work order needs to be issued.

The property management company provides you with regular updates on the status of completed tasks, open tasks and work orders.

It is possible for you to coordinate your rental inflows with these expenses so that you have a positive cash flow.

If a contractor is missing deadlines regularly, then an alternative need to be found.

Marketing Reports

These reports help you analyze the effectiveness of the current marketing plans and strategies. The property management company helps in drafting a marketing plan, dealing with queries from tenants, and understanding the latest market trends.

As a property owner, you will be aware of the questions from prospective tenants about your property and change your marketing strategy accordingly.

Maintenance Reports

It is your responsibility as a property owner to understand the structural status of your building.

The property management company will provide reports relating to the expenses with respect to the regular maintenance of the building, the frequency at which inspections have been carried out, the outcome of these inspections, whether the maintenance reduced the number and frequency of complaints, and areas where the highest expense has been incurred.

You will find out the condition of your building from the inspection results, and then make a realistic budget of the amount you need to spend on repairs of the building.
