As an asset manager, your focus is always on finding the most valuable thing you can do for your portfolio today. Yet, even though you can access a flood of information and signals, it's hard to find what to prioritize amidst all the noise.

Finding what to prioritize with this information is one of the most critical skills for asset managers. The best asset managers leverage this skill to increase operating income, drive portfolio value, manage larger portfolios, and even become owners or LPs.

[Asset managers] are focused on a single question - "What's going on with my portfolio?". The best asset managers know where to look to find signals in the noise and understand their portfolio.

Understand your portfolio

Most PMS will provide you useful data and dashboards around financial and leasing metrics, but not real-time insights into the day-to-day interactions between your staff and tenants.

Whether it's an online review, a complaint, or a contentious conversation, these micro-interactions are often the “canary in a coal mine”. They can point you to challenges - a dissatisfied or litigious tenant, an underperforming leasing team, or other harmful evolving risks. Conversely, they can also represent positive signals - which give you an opportunity to raise rents or find an additional revenue stream.

Good asset managers understand this, and that's why they constantly sift through their data to find the most interesting conversations and patterns in tenant behavior. This is where prioritization comes in - they focus on finding out how things are going to go, not just what's happening. Speaking to asset managers across the country, we found most are focused on a single question - "What's happening with my portfolio?". The best asset managers know where to look to find signals in the noise.

Get Tactical

To figure out what needs their time, we find that asset managers often get deeply tactical. Here are just a few things they do:

• Site visits to check how the property is maintained

• Checking Google reviews every week

• Secret shopping by posing as a potential tenant

Great asset managers often get tacticalto understand their portfolio because it can unlock outsize returns.

But staying tactical is hard. You only have so many hours in a day. As your portfolio and your responsibilities grow, the time you have to look at any single property decreases. This leads to fewer check-ins and fewer signals about your portfolio. Unless you’re willing to visit every single property and sift through every single review and report every week, you have to guess what needs your attention right now. That’s why we at ResiDesk want to make this easy for you.
