In today’s competitive rental market, understanding your residents is more important than ever. Property managers and institutional owners are tasked with maintaining properties, collecting rent, and creating a seamless experience that keeps residents satisfied and encourages long-term occupancy. Success in this area hinges on one key factor: data. With Residently’s innovative, all-in-one rental operating system, gathering, analysing, and utilising resident data becomes streamlined, helping you make informed decisions that drive better outcomes and higher yields.
Having access to comprehensive resident data is crucial for modern owners and operators. The more you understand your residents, the better you can cater to their needs, set appropriate rental prices, and market your properties to attract the right residents.
Traditional property management systems and processes with third parties often lack the connectivity to provide actionable insights into resident profiles. Information is stored in silos, making it challenging to build a holistic understanding of your resident base. Residently’s end-to-end platform changes this by connecting every interaction from initial enquiry to lease renewal, creating a unified view of your community.
With features such as demographic profiling, employment insights, and income analysis, property managers can drill down into data and develop a granular understanding of their renter base. This empowers owners to tailor their strategies, improve resident satisfaction, and increase occupancy and rental income.
Residently’s system offers a range of data points that operators can use to make informed, strategic decisions. By understanding the age, income, and job sector of residents, you can set rental prices that reflect their purchasing power and design marketing campaigns that speak directly to their needs and preferences. For instance, by analysing rent-to-income ratios, you can assess whether your residents are comfortable with their rent or if adjustments are necessary to retain them.
Here are some key examples of how Residently’s platform uses data to inform decisions:
Demographic profiles: Break down residents by age and income to better understand who your residents are, helping you to attract similar profiles or adjust your offerings for different segments.
Household composition: Analyse the makeup of households—whether shared or family-based—to help inform property development decisions, such as the number of bedrooms needed or the types of amenities that will appeal to different groups.
Employment and income: Data on employment sectors and income stability can provide insight into potential risks, such as whether specific job sectors are more likely to default on payments. This allows for better risk management and more tailored lease terms.
Location and moving trends: Knowing where your residents are moving from, or if they’re relocating locally or regionally, helps you tailor your marketing efforts, focus on the right geographies, and identify areas for expansion.
Beyond having access to raw data, the ability to drill down into specific insights is where the real power lies. Residently not only provides an overview of your resident base but also enables deeper analysis that can drive better decisions across your operations. This depth of insight can answer key questions such as:
What is the rent-to-income ratio across various income bands? Knowing this helps property managers assess whether their rents are competitive or pushing residents out of affordability.
Are families or shared households more common in your properties? Understanding this can influence your property acquisition strategy and guide decisions around amenities and services offered to tenants.
How do gender and household composition affect rental choices? Insights into who is renting specific types of properties can guide everything from unit design to marketing strategies.
With AI-powered insights, Residently goes a step further, suggesting marketing campaigns and property adjustments based on the resident data available. For example, knowing that many of your residents are young professionals in the tech sector might prompt a campaign targeting similar demographics, emphasising flexibility, urban connectivity, and modern amenities.
All of these insights are made possible through Residently’s all-in-one platform, which combines various data points into a digestible format that is accessible in real time. Our platform enables property managers to:
