FROM THE PRESIDENT - Don Schmidt
The BRAINSTORMING session conducted during our last meeting was very
successful. A majority of the membership attended and the participation
was great. The session yielded many ideas. The following is just a
sample of these ideas placed into four categories of TENANTS, LANDLORD,
OPERATIONS, AND EXTERNAL. Some of the ideas fell into multiple
categories.IDEAS TENANTS * Renters pool * Tenant Eviction Step-by- Step * Screening tenants LANDLORD * Association Inspecting Properties * Clearing House, Buy/Sell among members OPERATIONS * Financing Alternatives * Property Insurance Review * Accounting- Taxes Documentation Ideas * Friendly Financial Institutions LANDLORD/OPERATIONS * Landlord pitfalls to avoid * Lease vs Renting Options * Maintenance Problems * Approved Contractors TENANT/OPERATIONS * Common New Tenant Package * Tenants with Talents EXTERNAL * Liaison with City Hall * Affiliations with Neighborhood Associations * City Services that Work Well * Speedy Demolition of nuisance properties * Legislative Updates LANDLORD/OPERATIONS/EXTERNAL * Property Safety TENANT/LANDLORD/OPERATIONS * Training Seminars
This is an impressive list of ideas and points out the many concerns
of our members. The membership then picked three of these items to
explore. The remaining items will be reviewed on a regular basis for
future study. Three committees were formed to review and present their
findings at the next meeting. The subjects to be reviewed are:* TENANT SCREENING * NEW TENANT PACKAGE * LANDLORD PITFALLS TO AVOID
