Your investment property is probably one of the most expensive assets that you have. You may have bought it or kept it because you want to make money out of it. But managing an investment property requires a lot of planning and budgeting. At the end of the day, you need to know your income and your expenses so you can maintain and improve your cash flow.
Too many people–even in their own personal lives–don’t keep track of these things. It’s a shame because it is incredibly important to keep track of your cash flow when you own an investment property. We help you do that at Green Ocean Property Management.
How We Help Maintain and Improve Your Cash Flow
First, we are going to ask for previous years’ expenses. If you don’t have those records, we will take our best estimations and fill in the gaps in the information.
Next, we go into our software for budgeting and we enter all those data. We do it on a quarterly basis–sometimes monthly–depending on the landlord.
Lastly, we will track all of your actual expenses and compare them in a report. We will look and see how we are doing versus what we estimated on your budget. If there are estimations that were too high or too low, we will fine-tune them and improve them from year to year.
Benefits of Cash Flow Monitoring
Monitoring your cash flow allows us to keep track of your expenses. It ensures that we know how much money is coming in for you. We will also make adjustments and watch out, for example, if the water is spiking too high, maybe there is a toilet leaking so we have to fix that. If we know there is deferred maintenance that is causing you a lot of repairs, maybe we can make a cap on improvements to help you out.
It will benefit you on the tax basis as well. We have some great bookkeepers and CPAs that we can suggest to you. They have helped with all our investment properties to go above and beyond.
Our commitment
If you are looking for a proactive property manager that just doesn’t pay the bills, collect the rent and handle maintenance–because those are basic stuff that a property manager does–but go above and beyond to help you create a budget to know your income and your expenses, and help you control and improve your cash flow, please think of Green Ocean Property Management: where you get more than a property manager, you get peace of mind.
