How do I find out the current delinquent status of unpaid rent or condo fees for my property? [VIDEO]

Even at the best of times, cash flow management is key to the success of any business and investment. During crises like COVID-19, it’s even more important to establish good cash flow practices.

Investors and condo boards that have put aside our recommended three-months operating cash savings should be able to […]

Why are Alberta Condominium Corporation Insurance Premiums Increasing?

In early March, we invited our condo boards in Calgary to come out and hear the latest on insurance renewals. The insurance industry worldwide has been reacting to a perfect storm of too much risk and too many claims; it’s made them unprofitable in their property insurance business.

How does a Condominium Builder Transition Their Properties to the Condo Owners & Board?

Resident Retention and Your Bottom Line

There’s something we must admit: renting a condo unit is much different than actually Retaining the residents. It can be one of the most challenging aspects of rental property management. Why should you struggle to attract and retain high-quality tenants for a long time? Leaving aside all the time and effort you must spend to fill vacancies, securing a longer lease is more cost effective than finding new tenants every few months. Since finding and keeping good renters for an […]
