RThe FREE, The Cheap, and the STEEP Property Management Software Solutions
With guest speakers Property Managers Debbie Greelish
of Distinctive Homes Management Trust,
and Brian Lucier of Belaire Property Management LLC.
Come out and join us the first Thursday of the month February 2/7/2019 (Note the change of date from the second Thursday of the month) for an educational and entertaining evening with your guest speakers Property Managers Debbie Greelish of Distinctive Homes Management Trust, and Brian Lucier of Belaire Property Management LLC.
In this presentation we will look at three different property management software solutions. First we will explore all that Google Drive has to offer in the way of spreadsheets, dashboards, documents and record keeping to keep your rental property running in the green with custom created documents to maximize the efficiency in running your business.
Then Debbie will peel back the layers of Buildium, our fist first professional off-the-shelf software solution for the night. Debbie will walk through the work flow from listing your property, to screening residents, to the move in process and month-to-month tasks within this software package.
Brian will then take you on a virtual tour of all the AppFolio has to offer to manage your rental property business. We will look at the many features available in this package and follow the flow from listing to lease up and much, much more.
Finally we will summarize the solutions presented in our presentation and give our best recommendation as to if and when you may want to consider crossing over from the free tools to a complete property management software solution to optimize the scaleability of your rental operations.
We are proud to announce the launch of our NEW NWCLA Members' Web Site. This site has been years in the planning and testing stages to bring you a unique tool to use as an NWCLA Member.
With the help of Massachusetts Landlord/Tenant Law Attorney, Inessa Shur of the Shur Law Group we have provided our members with something they have been asking for, for years; Massachusetts Tenant-At-Will and Massachusetts Lease Rental Agreements. These forms are especially written and designed to adhere to and be in compliance with Massachusetts Housing Laws.
HOW TO GET YOUR NEW NWCLA MEMBER ACCOUNT
To get an account on the members site, please complete the "Request and Account" form. A link is at the bottom of the members only website, or you can access it directly here: https://www.nwcla.com/members/request-an-account/.
Once that comes through, and we are able to verify your paid NWCLA membership, we will be able to get your account set up for you. Please be patient with us as we ramp up on this new process. All of your NWCLA board members are unpaid and are volunteers.

Dear Fellow Landlords and Property Managers
The NWCLA was formed to provide a structured forum for landlords and property managers to get informed on the changing areas of rental real estate and the laws that govern the business we are in.
We want to provide guidance for those new to the business as well as use our strength as an organization to prevent negative legislation and promote positive changes in Massachusetts,
We own property in one of the toughest states to be a landlord in, the scale is not tipped in our favor, and we must work together to run our businesses in the strictest manner, and encourage changes that would give equality back to the legal housing system.
We are all in the business of providing housing; together we can work to better our community and our real estate. We urge you to consider joining our organization. The benefits are many to belong to an upstanding group that works on issues that effect you and your livelihood.
See you all on the second Thursday of the month
