Let’s face it, sometimes the business of property management can be quite hectic so anything you can do in order to create efficiency, while also being as ‘green’ as possible, is most welcome. Below are a few ways AppFolio helps get you there.
Utilize AppFolio’s Online Tenant Payments (ACH) and encourage all of your residents to participate.
This will not only cut down on the amount of paper checks being used, but it’ll save you so much time during rent week, as you will no longer have to sift through stacks of checks, manually entering them into the system. Online tenant payments with ACH is fast, easy, and free…most of all, it’s green. We’ll even create a marketing package (refrigerator magnets, rack cards and posters) for you, so that you can spread the word to your residents! Check out these examples:
Add Owner Packets to the Owner’s Portal or email them.
This cuts down on the amount of paper you are using to print and mail documents to your owners, since your owners can login to their portal and retrieve their statements and reports and decide which ones they’d like to print, if any.
Use technology as much as you possibly can when it comes to marketing your properties.
With AppFolio, we give you the tools to quickly and easily advertise your vacancies online (Craigslist, the Internet, and your website). The ease of the entire process saves you so much time, while allowing your properties to receive maximum visibility. The bonus is that unless you really need to create print outs, you are saving even more trees!
Bookmark your AppFolio data onto your iPad, iPhone (or other smart device).
This is extremely helpful when you are on the road and need the number for a vendor or tenant. It saves you from having to call into the office, or even, from having to go back to the office to obtain the information you need. Not to mention, you won’t have to lug around papers or even your laptop! From your iPhone: Open Safari > Navigate to your AppFolio > Click the plus sign at the bottom of the window > Select Add to Home Screen. From that point, you’ll see the icon on your iPhone’s desktop for AppFolio.
