ARTICLE ORIGINALLY APPEARED IN HIRUM INDUSTRY BLOG Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you would have seen the quick rise of private letting channels such as Airbnb, Stayz and HomeAway. If you’re the owner of a management rights business, you may not be their biggest fan. Disruptive companies, in any industry, often cause issues for existing operators within that industry. In the case of property management, you may be worried about losing properties in your letting pool to owners wishing to let privately, or you may have had bad experiences with the guests or bookings from these channels. Whatever it may be, this articleRead More →

So, you’re searching for your ideal management rights?  This process can be time consuming, costly, stressful and frustrating to say the least!  There is a need for an alternate way of buying a Management Rights business. I’ve recognised this need and started Venz Management Rights Buyers Agency.  A first for the management rights industry.  Think of us as a Management Rights agency but on the other side of the fence, your side, the buyer.

We live in uncertain times. Disruption is everywhere. Unpredictability is the new normal and in a world of constant change who would dare to suggest what 2018 might hold. Yep, you guessed it, I’ll have a crack! Let’s look at 2018 with crystal ball in hand and tongue firmly in cheek. In no particular order and based on nothing but wild guesses, blind hope and a generous serve of optimism here we go………. 1. The word Like is banned from use by anyone under the age of 35, thereby rendering speechless an entire generation and having absolutely no negative impact in the national discourse 2.Read More →

ARTICLE BY JOHN PUNCH Ever since management rights sales began some 38 years ago, the standard method for calculating a sale price has been to apply a multiplier to the net operating profit of the business, for a one year period preceding, but ending as close as possible to the signing of the contract. Some lawyers and accountants are now proposing to allow for adjustment of the sale price at settlement to take account of any lots that may leave the letting pool between the signing of the contract and the day before settlement. Generally, we find that as soon as we inform any sellersRead More →

I recently had an interesting discussion with one of our managers, lets call him Geoff, whose Body Corporate committee had very generously advised him they were concerned he was being underpaid. Our manager asked me how much remuneration I thought a manager of a complex of his size and location should be paid… and I’m embarrassed to say, all I could do was shrug my shoulders. You see although I’ve worked in this industry for over a decade, speak to dozens of onsite managers every day, and am a licenced letting agent myself… The truth is, I personally, have never worked as a caretaker andRead More →

Here’s a scenario. Imagine that you have accidentally killed someone or maybe you have committed a major white-collar crime such as embezzlement. Now, imagine that you’ve gotten away with it. Years have passed and you’re in the clear. Trouble is, you are overwhelmed with guilt. Maybe you’ve had a change of heart, or just genuinely become a better person, and you wish to set things right. What should you do? Turning yourself in might give a sense of relief, closure and justice to those affected by your crime, but it will also cost the state a whole lot of money to investigate your crimes andRead More →

The World of technology relentlessly changes how we do day to day activities that we currently take for granted, we have seen the likes of google, airbnb, uber and VR come from nowhere to become the accepted norms. I recently found this interesting video on a service being used for property management in California US and thought that you would enjoy watching it. While I suspect that this service may not be the final answer to providing ultra efficient and cost effective rental agents (quite a few of the prospective tenants I have met are more likely to ‘borrow’ the robots than politely interact withRead More →

One of the most hotly debated and often misunderstood concepts when determining the profitability of an accommodation business is the concept of ‘maintainable income’. The concept of ‘future maintainable earnings’ is a longstanding valuation principle, and possibly the most commonly used method of valuing an accommodation business is the capitalisation of the maintainable earnings of the business. In a management rights context, the capitalisation rate is referred to as the ‘multiple’, whereas in other accommodation businesses it is generally expressed as the return on investment percentage or ‘capitalisation rate’. Determining the multiple or capitalisation rate is very much the domain of the valuers and agentsRead More →

Last week RealEstate.com.au committed some resources to our managers to pull together a webinar that explained how to maximise rental marketing services with their portal. The feedback our managers gave us was that they found it really informative and useful. A lot of managers wanted to attend the webinar but, as you’d know if you are an onsite manager, they were otherwise engaged at the time. In light of this, REA have put the webinar into a video format so our managers can recap. You can watch the video here: https://rea-group.app.box.com/s/lztw0qvhwoh5jcco286vzjal0ja8jjpq Don’t hesitate to post any feedback or questions in the comments below.Read More →
