1. How Do You Increase Net Operating Income?
Sophisticated investors focus on NOI growth, not just management fees. An experienced management company should clearly explain how they improve occupancy, reduce delinquency, increase collections, control expenses, and strengthen tenant retention. Operational problems often show up in collections and turnover long before they appear in occupancy numbers. Even small improvements in NOI can create substantial increases in apartment value. For example, increasing annual NOI by $100,000 at a 5% cap rate theoretically increases property value by $2,000,000.
