By Drew DeMasters Author of Landlord Marketing Secrets Are you in the right place at the right time? To show prospects your apartments? To respond to maintenance needs? To motivate tenants to renew their lease or upgrade to a newer, nicer unit? Much of what we do in life and in business depends on where and when. Looking for a job. Asking for a date. Buying a car. Think about it. Retailers ramp up for Black Friday and online sites for Cyber Monday. Accountants prep for tax season. What are you doing? As landlords and property managers, we have our own busy season. U.S. Census data show that about 18% of US households move in a given year and half of them do so between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Example: Los Angeles County has 3.1 million households. So, over 280,000 households move each year during just the 90 days between those two holidays. That's 3,000 households moving every single day, just in LA County! Landlords and real estate agents alike know they must show properties at night and on weekends because that's when people are out looking after work. We have to be in the right place at the right time to show apartments, handle maintenance emergencies and resolve that occasional parking dispute. But take it a step further....

Excuses"Do you have any idea what a pair of new skis cost?" - Dave G., NY "I am out of town and can't get to a bank. My dog had a heart attack and I have to stay with him here while he has surgery. I will be gone for 8 to 10 days and will try to get you the rent when I get back." This rent was 3 weeks late. I thought that she was original if nothing else. - April Robinson "I can't pay that much rent anymore because I just bought a brand new car. I'll just pay what I can" You signed your rental lease, so if you don't pay the rent you'll be sleeping in your new car. - Ken, Tucson, AZ "I can't pay you because I'm going to have a baby next week" Hmm...I've had two babies in the past and happen to think they shouldn't come into the world homeless. - Marie in N.Y.

LPA members have been asking me for a while now about how to set up automated rent payments with their tenants. I’d like to bring your attention to “ClearNow, the leader in electronic rent collection.” ClearNow enables you to have your rent automatically withdrawn from your tenant’s bank accounts and directly deposited into your bank account.
If you haven’t done so already, please check out …
