Lots of property

Welcome to the property management blog, our window on the world of property management.

I had a chcane to take a quick tour of a part of the Camp Pendelton Marine Base and the chance to tour a couple of Naval vessels in the San Diego Naval base last week. I found two things of interest that I wanted to write about. There were many interesting things I saw and discovered, but these deal directly with managing proeprty. Managing a military base has got to be a huge job. Lots of different facilities with many different purposes.

I found the discrepency log posted on a barrack room door. Each week the soldiers turn in their discrepency forms to their unit chiefs to pass up the ladder. I found it interesting that these are not maintenance requests. There is a list of what should be in the barracks and what should be working. Anything that confilcts with the list is a discrepency to be dealt with. Maybe your tenatns would be happier if they notified you of dicrepencies and waited for your staff to prioritize them and deal with them. Consider this word for your business. Do you think it has potential?

The other thing that I took immediate note of was a grouping of pictures posted at the top of the gang plank on each vessel I visited. These were lists of restricted individuals…people who are not allowed on board. I don’t know what they did to earn their place on the restricted list, but one can only imagine.

Wouldn’t that be great to have the names and pictures of the people you do not want on your property: the old tenants who still owe you money; the boyfriend of the lady in 515 who is a loud nuisance; the neighbor down the street who always puts his trash in your dumpster. This is something to think about.

bye for now,
Tron
