With rapid market changes coming, your business needs the right tools at the right time so you can act fast and achieve your goals. To make the most significant impact on your business, consider a purpose-built software that will help you adapt and innovate while decreasing overhead costs.

Why real estate investment management software?

Real estate investment management software can significantly streamline the acquisition, management, and disposition of real estate assets. Dedicated software like AppFolio Investment Manager is designed to manage investments, reduce the need for manual data entry, streamline workflow and increase transparency.

With these tasks now automated, you will be able to save time and energy by not having to worry about tedious tasks like calculating returns, reconciling bank statements, or downloading reports from financial institutions.

Why adopt new workflows now?

How do you set 2023 up for success? Collaborate with a trusted real estate technology partner that will help your team streamline your processes and impress investors. Below are a few reasons why this is a prudent idea for your business.

Your existing processes will limit your team’s potential in 2023.

Were there times in 2022 when your workflow got in the way of your team’s wins? It doesn’t have to be that way. In an increasingly competitive market, good deals will be snatched up by the fastest and most agile investment management teams.

Now is the time to identify the workflows you can automate and improve and then find a solution to help you act on these optimizations.

Investor expectations have changed.

In a recent survey by AppFolio Investment Manager, 50% of real estate investors reported that they select their investment managers based on their use of modern technology, and 77% prefer receiving digital updates. Investors expect sophisticated, on-demand access to their investment information — is your investor relations team prepared to meet these expectations?

Tax season is coming.

Tax season is around the corner, and it is notorious for bogging down teams with endless paperwork like distributing K-1s. With expected changes to real estate taxes soon as well, it’s more important than ever to minimize tax season’s impact on your team’s productivity.
