Have you ever wanted to know what professional property managers know…that YOU DON’T? This webinar will give YOU the top “Tips and Tricks” known only by the professionals who successfully manage 1,000’s of rental units. Our property management expert, Patti Widget from Widget’s Way, will provide you with insider information on critical areas that will help keep you from getting yourself into trouble and keep you working smarter, not harder.

Managing rental property today has become far too complicated and highly regulated. If you receive a letter from your tenant’s attorney, do you respond? How do you respond? If someone other than your tenant is asking you for keys or maintenance requests or tries to negotiate terms, what do you do? Do you email or text to terminate a tenancy? If there’s a habitability issue at the property, do you provide your tenant with a hotel while the repairs are being made? If you want to learn the answers to these and so many other questions, then this is definitely the webinar for YOU!

Leading multifamily industry expert, Patti Widget, the founder of Widget’s Way again, joins us for an amazing presentation that will help YOU to succeed during today’s “new normal.”  PLEASE, join us for what will most certainly be an informative online seminar via ZOOM.

During the webinar, we will also cover the following:

• Tips on working smarter, not harder. How to avoid those problem situations that keep you awake at night.
• How you can easily generate more income as easy as “1-2-3.”
• Take a deep breath before responding...How to refrain from acting on your emotions, even if you know you are right…avoid putting your foot in your mouth!
• Go beyond the tenant screening report. Tenant screening tips that are fast and simple, and that will avoid the problem tenant. Learn what to look for and why on Google, such as tenant’s phone number given as their employer and much more.
• And, wait…there’s so much more. YOUR questions will help lead the discussion.

This will be a live, interactive, online learning session. Live Q&A will take place throughout the online seminar. Please join us for what will surely be an extremely informative and entertaining presentation by Patti Widget. Please log in to register on our website at www.aagla.org.
