Property Management Budget

Property management is changing more quickly than ever before, so long-held metrics we use for budgeting simply may not hold up going forward. So we are identifying how the budgeting process is changing in this new dynamic.
The purpose of this survey is to examine what budgeting techniques are currently being used in the multifamily industry. This survey was distributed using a variety of social media sites aimed at reaching apartment professionals.
Budgeting and forecasting is challenging as it is, without a global pandemic causing havoc. Add in uncertainty regarding stimulus plans, and budgeting becomes extremely difficult. So we are exploring normal budgeting strategies, as well as what changes companies are doing to adapt to COVID-19.
Without a proper budget methodology, it is impossible understand how our apartment communities are performing, opportunities for improvement, and potential red flags in our operations.
