Under One Roof with RHAWA

A great conversation with property manager and landlord Julie Purchase (Avenue One Residential) with solid advice on how to handle a number of different situations. We talk about evolving tenant expectations (11:48), the importance of communicating with tenants (20:07), new marketing tactics (25:12), how to handle roommates (33:26), quirks of the Seattle rental market (46:42), and some common mistakes to avoid while turning over a unit for a new tenant (58:08).

We talk about what happens when a tenancy goes bad (9:21), how to weigh personal feelings and business interests when deciding to pursue legal action (13:29), balancing your time as a landlord with your "real job" (32:27), and alternatives to consider if you can't look at criminal history (44:42), among other things. Great to hear legal expertise coupled with firsthand experience as a small landlord from Hamilton!

We're talking market rates, valuations, and a whole lot more with Dylan Simon this week. We get into what they and other brokers will be doing to replace the information void left by Dupre + Scott's closure (8:05), the value of being a data geek in the current rental market (14:40), how they identified and capitalized on micro apartments and SEDU's (24:07), and emerging markets and lessons we can learn from San Francisco (35:02). The Colliers International Seattle Multi-Family Team is a presenting sponsor of the upcoming RHAWA Annual Business Meeting.

We talk with James Rankin from the Dispute Resolution Center about mediation techniques including teaching new tenants what they should know (7:38), their 8-step process (14:07), confusion surrounding service animals (21:30), misconceptions on the part of both tenants and landlords (28:12), and what the mediation process looks like (35:41).
