How will Colorado Springs achieve Sustainable Development?

 How will Colorado Springs achieve Sustainable Development? All MultiFamily PM’s and Owners will want to come to this event.

http://www.catamountinstitute.org/events/112-achieving-sustainable–development-in–colorado-springs

What: “How Colorado Springs Will Achieve Sustainable Development”

The Workshop: Speakers will discuss their approaches to achieving triple bottom-line economic, environmental and social benefits for the residents and businesses in the Colorado Springs region.

Overview:  Old and deteriorating infrastructure coupled with rising energy costs, water shortages, and concerns about air quality and health, will require communities to upgrade their existing home and building stocks. Unless done using market-based approach, these upgrades will tax local economies that are already floundering. The good news is that there is a way to upgrade the infrastructure using a selfsustaining approach that will also generate local jobs, economic development, enhance property values and improve the health and comfort of the occupants.

Articles related to recent fires and 7 fire prevention tip

Fire prevention and procedures are always a priority…for those who own multifamily apartments, and other commercial RE buildings/assets. What are your best-practices for sharing fire safety guidelines with those at your apartment communities and your commercial real estate properties? Do your residents/tenants know the procedures in place if a fire were to occur at their locations?

Below are several articles related to recent fires and 7 fire prevention tips–with a number of smart/bright recommendations. Please share this story with those on your leadership, leasing and multifamily maintenance teams~

Residents displaced after Madison Heights apartment fire
http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/large-apartment-fire-in-madison-heights

Apartment building destroyed by fire in Orange County
http://www.wesh.com/news/central-florida/orange-county/Apartment-building-destroyed-by-fire-in-Orange-County/-/12978032/18252440/-/10901m2z/-/index.html

Four Fire Prevention Strategies
======================

Fire prevention strategies can help protect you from incurring thousands of dollars in damages, and they can save your life. It’s great to have working smoke detectors and a carbon monoxide detector installed, but those are only effective after a fire has already started. Here are 4 simple fire prevention strategies for your multifamily apartment communities and commercial RE buildings.

#1. Use surge protectors – This not only protects your appliances and/or business equipment, it can also help prevent a fire. If something shorts out, the spark could potentially start a fire. This is especially true in older apartments and commercial real estate buildings, where the outlets may not be up to municipal fire codes. A surge protector for your electronics can be an extra level of protection.

#2. Cigarettes – Unattended cigarettes are the number one cause of apartment fires. This makes it a tremendous health risk not only for yourself, but also for your apartment neighbors if you set the building on fire. Consider entering a treatment program to kick the habit, and if you must have a cigarette, smoke it outside (away from your neighbors’ apartments), and ensure it is properly put out.

#3. Check electrical cords – If you find an electrical cord for an appliance or a piece of business equipment that’s frayed or cracked, it’s a potential fire hazard. Either replace the cord or the entire appliance. Also, don’t run electric cords underneath a rug or between rooms/offices. Walking on a cord or closing a door on it can cause it to wear out over time, and a spark could cause a fire.

#4. Take care with heaters – Don’t attempt to dry clothes on the heaters in your apartment. Make sure to keep all heaters free and clear from obstructions, especially things that are flammable. If you use a space heater in your office or in your apartment, make sure it’s an appropriate distance from anything that could catch fire (about three feet). Never use an extension cord with a space heater in your apartment or business office.

Within your company—-what are your policies/procedures for how often your team checks and services fire safety equipment? How often do you send communication to your residents/tenants—reminding them of the procedures in place…in case of a fire emergency?

Focusing on fire prevention and procedures…how does this tie into your RE & multifamily apartment/commercial building insurance? What does your insurance policy require regarding documentation of fire safety equipment?

Would you like our team to do a review of your RE building insurance coverage—related to fire safety prevention?

During this 60-minute MultifamilyBiz.com PowerHour webcast we will be discussing the points below plus fielding your specific questions:

#1. How are the largest multifamily management companies leveraging Wi-Fi to increase their rental rates, improve resident retention and raise their occupancy percentages?

#2. What is the difference between common area hotspots and community-wide Wi-Fi networks? Why does this matter?

#3. What are the risks of installing your own Wi-Fi network from a legal and financial point of view? Are there network security liabilities that apartment owners and property management leaders need to be aware of?

#4. What are the legal implications of offering Wi-Fi to your apartment residents? How do the FCC CALEA Laws come into play? What are the liabilities and fines associated with non-compliance? Is your current Wi-Fi network opening your property management company to unnecessary liability?

#5. How does the FCC ban on exclusive-access Wi-Fi agreements put multifamily owners in the driver’s seat when it comes to offering Wi-Fi to their residents?

#6. What does it take to setup Wi-Fi access at your apartment communities? What are the pitfalls to watch out for?

Related to building insurance coverage within the real estate and apartment sector…insurance rates are rising rather significantly in 2013.

In fact, the last 12 months have been some of the costliest for insurance companies—based on recent natural disasters which are highlighted in the articles below…and include the impact of hurricane Sandy.

Property Insurance Rates Rise For 2013
http://tampa.cbslocal.com/2013/01/01/property-insurance-rates-rise-for-2013/

Property Insurance Costs Rising
http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/01/01/3163381/no-big-storms-but-property-insurance.html

Below are tips to help control your insurance premium increases.

#1. Shop your insurance. Gather the names of companies/brokers who specialize in apartment and RE building insurance. Consider working with an insurance broker that represents multiple companies. An insurance broker will give you several options for companies that would be best for the RE properties that you own/manage, instead of one option which is the primary concern of an exclusive insurance agent. It is also important to pick an insurance company that is financially stable. Check the financial health of your potential insurers with rating companies like A.M. Best and Standard & Poor’s.

#2. Consider higher deductibles. The higher the deductible, the less you will pay in insurance premiums for each policy. Weigh the difference and make sure it makes sense for the increase in a higher deductible.

#3. Set up a risk management/loss control program. Insurers will often lower your insurance rates if you put a program in place that will minimize losses from fire, theft and on-site injuries. Consider installing a security or fire system. Have a systematic approach to guiding your apartment residents into Renter’s Insurance. Renter’s Insurance will help control your loss history and frequency of claims.

#4. It is important to keep your insurance broker informed about any changes in your business operations. This includes major purchases, expansions or changes in hiring or in the nature of your operations. Ask your insurance broker what you can do to reduce risks such as fire or resident/tenant-related accidents and review the procedures in place if your business suffers a major catastrophe.

#5. Have the proper amount and type of insurance coverage. It is important to determine the amount of coverage needed for your RE and/or apartment buildings, verifying how your insurance broker came up with the limit of insurance coverages. Is it enough or is it too much coverage? You need to make your insurance broker aware of any lending insurance requirements that are mandatory; it is easier to negotiate coverage and pricing if all information is disclosed up front. Having the right amount of insurance coverage along with a carefully developed business plan that includes disaster preparedness can save you money with your insurance policies. Be sure to keep your insurance broker fully apprised of any changes within your business that might necessitate changes to your insurance coverage. Such changes may include: adding locations/properties, expanding your business, making acquisitions, changing a property entity name or the property DBA and/or purchasing equipment such as tools or vehicles.

Relating to property and casualty insurance for your company, what are your insurance carriers projecting for your increases in 2013? What are your policies/procedures that will soften the impact of increasing insurance premiums in 2013?
