Ahhhh, yes, the Vintage property! First things first - have a good attitude about it. Second, everyone on the team should Huddle Up (can you tell I am in March Madness mode - GO UK WILDCATS!) and start brainstorming, including maintenance, housekeepers, leasing, Managers, Reginals and even consult with your vendors since they see all kinds of properties and might be able to provide a unique insight.
Third, know the neighborhood and your competition. Make a list of comparisons and contrasts. You have to believe in your product and not lose heart and become discouraged. It's tempting to tell yourself and your team that no one wants to live here because we don't have .... blah, blah, blah. If you find yourself and your team doing this, try to pep up your game and change that attitude.
Then, come up with some GREAT things about your community:
Close to bus stops, active Neighborhood Watch Association, great Walk Score, pet-friendly, if you are a Section 8 voucher community, let people know you have great REAC scores and always pass unit inspections. Buy T-Shirts for all your team members and Residents and wear them! Having a little pride will attract people to your community, too. Showcase your property's natural assets, too: plant some perenniels and annuals; paint the exterior shutters and entry doors and keep up with your light fixtures (clean, fully bulbed). I believe you can position your community in a positive way with the right team and outlook.
