After the massive snow fall this season, gutter inspections should be at the top  of your list. 
 
Connecticut has experienced some record setting snow fall this past winter,  forcing anyone with property to keep a closer eye on routine inspections and  repairs. Gutters are particularly susceptible to damage from ice, snow and  strong winds.

Ice can slowly cause the most  damage by pulling and yanking gutters when it  thaws and refreezes. It  can pull on fasteners causing the gutters to fall. Ice  can also cause  gutters to pitch the wrong way allowing water to pool inside  instead of  draining. Gutters can also be bent, broken or have damage to the  thin  aluminum - all from ice!

Heavy snow can cause the gutters  to buckle and come off of the house. Strong  winds can then move the  gutters back and forth causing them to either fall to  the ground or hit  the house causing even more damage.

Bad gutters can lead to costly  repairs that may have to be done to either  the gutters, the house or  both. Basement leaks are a common issue with damaged  gutters, they can  also cause water leaks over doors, entryways and windows. In  general,  water can run into areas inside or outside the house where it  refreezes  overnight until midspring.

Survey show professional property managers reduce
rental vacancy rates nearly 40 percent

      10/17/2012 by Cathy   
   Successful investment in  rental properties often depends on keeping vacancy rates low, both by minimizing  tenant turnover and by quickly re-renting properties when tenants do depart.
According to a recent survey conducted by JIL Property Management, 

    Based on responses from 298 property management companies located in 201  cities across the US, the average annual vacancy rate for a professionally  managed property is 5.5 percent, compared to the 8.8 percent national average  reported by the US Census Bureau. Respondents cited expert tenant screening,  superior customer care during tenancy, swift action against delinquent tenants,  and general local market knowledge as reasons for their success in preventing  long vacancies.

    “Having a full-service management company that knows the ins and outs of  property Management, including rental law, maintenance requirements, accounting  best practices, and how to effectively market and show a property is critical to  maintaining cash flow while preserving the integrity of a rental property  investment,” says Richard Riocardo, who, in addition to being CEO of JIL Property  Management, owns investment properties himself. “Most first-time landlords have  very little understanding of these fundamentals. It’s a steep learning  curve.”

Additional survey findings include:

 
• 67 percent of property management companies can typically fill a vacancy in  four weeks or less.


• 51 percent of professional managers can keep the cost of rehabbing a  property between renters under $1,000.


• The average uncontested eviction costs around $2,000, including legal fees,  lost rent, and property repair costs---emphasizing the need for careful tenant  screening.

    With a glut of bargain-priced, distressed properties set to come on the  market over the next few years and interest rates at historic lows, investors  are clamoring to make rental property investment part of their portfolios,  making these findings especially relevant to finding a sustainable solution to
the current housing crisis.

      All Property Management has the fastest growing, largest and most  comprehensive network in the industry with more than 2,000 managers nationwide.  Investors and property owners using All Property Management’s network are able  to easily navigate and compare management companies located near their  properties specifically suited to their needs.
