Buildium Delivers Improved Work Order Management for Property Managers
Who of us could not use at very least a brush up on our WOM (not to be confused with Word of Mouth) systems? I like what the guys over at Buildum are doing so much I decided to release their latest press release. [Check the site our here]
Boston, MA, August 5, 2008 (PRWEB) – Buildium, LLC announces improved work order management in its already popular property management software.
“Our existing customers liked what we had done with task management, but they wanted more from our work order
system,” Michael Monteiro, partner and co-founder of Buildium, LLC, explained. “We pride ourselves
on our willingness to incorporate feedback from our customers so we took the best suggestions and
made some significant improvements.”
Christopher Swanson of Evolve Property Management commented, “I love all the recent enhancements and
improvements to Buildium. [Buildium] has made some terrific changes in the past, but this is by far my favorite.”
Buildium added a host of features including more flexible assignment of tasks to in-house staff
and third-party vendors, as well as the ability to quickly generate bills from detailed work orders.
In addition to the new task and work order functions, Buildium’s
property
management software allows landlords and property managers to track property income, expenses, and
liabilities with full-featured accounting designed with property management in mind. It helps streamline
time-consuming tasks by automating maintenance requests, rent and maintenance fee collections, tenant/homeowner
receivables, payables, and more.
Buildium offers a free, full-featured, 15-day trial of its online property management software.
Monthly plans are designed to fit any budget and start at under $20 per month.
Buildium, LLC was founded in 2003 by a seasoned team of veterans with nearly 20 years of
experience delivering technology solutions to Global 2000 companies, and over 10 years of
experience managing rental properties. For further details, visit www.buildium.com or call

How often do you skip lunch?
I have long struggled with property management professionals who say, “You know, I never take a lunch. I usually work right through it.” I just don’t get that. I agree that offices are crazy busy and it is sometimes difficult to fit it in and in the same respect I just don’t get it.
In the near fourteen years I have been in the multifamily business and from the time I was a leasing consultant right up to the time I became a regional manager for a major multifamily REIT, I always took a lunch. If for nothing else, it was a time to decompress and regain composure. I felt more productive and more mentally astute in the afternoon if I stocked my body with the proper energy. *Note – never eat Mexican food for lunch, it is a natural nap producer.
Are you a lunch-skipper or do you take the time off to recharge? If you skip, I would love to know your reasons. Let’s hear from those of you who take the time off too.

Rents starting to feel the crush of the economy
I ran across this story in the WSJ yesterday and thought I would pass it along.
Here is an excerpt:
"In many markets, our new prospects are beginning to resist the current
and increasing levels of market rents we’ve enjoyed over the past
quarter," David Neithercut, chief executive of Equity Residential,
told investors during this month’s earnings call. While the
Chicago-based apartment owner, one of the largest in the U.S., reported
an increase in funds from operations of 1.5% last quarter, it lowered
its estimates for comparable-property revenue growth.
