FROM THE PRESIDENT Celebrating Excellence in front of 1,111 by Meredith Wright Echelon Property Group On November 11, 2011, the Apartment Association staged the latest edition of Tributes at the Sheraton Downtown Denver. This event, held every three years, offers the industry the chance to celebrate the excellence of our peers and colleagues. And how fitting was it that on 11/11/11, the final attendence number at Tributes was 1,111 people? This issue contains plenty of pictures recapping the event, but I thought I would also add my thoughts on a fantastic evening. First off, I want to thank the multiple committees and volunteers who worked so hard to pull off this event. I absolutely appreciate the time and effort invested by all of you. I hope you all had a great time as you definitely earned it. Secondly, I would like to thank our sponsors. Community Interiors presented the event. Apartment Guide, Apartment Book, and Lynett Brockman & Associates were Platinum sponsors and Victor Sanchez Photography, FastSigns and Cort Furniture Rental were Gold sponsors. The support of our sponsors is critical to the overall success of this event. (From left) Peggy Panzer, Jennifer Nessett and Meredith Wright are recognized on stage for their participation in planning Tributes 2011. For those of you involved with AAMD, you know that Rocky Sundling from Camden Property Trust is a tremendous asset to our success. Rocky won the Tribute for Most Outstanding Regional Manager (more than 1,950 units) and I am very pleased for him. I started off my evening by doing what it seems 90% of the attendees did that night, checked into the Sheraton. I could not believe how many of you all were in the check in line when I showed up. However, and not to get to too sanctimonious, I respect a lot of the attendee’s responsible decision to stay downtown. After the event and the multiple after parties, I was definitely pleased with my decision as I think many of you were. On a personal note, I was also pleased to see Greystar take home the award for Most Outstanding Model Home (Built in the 1980’s or Prior) for Stratford Station. Stratford was the first place my husband and I lived after we graduated college, so I am definitely pleased to see Greystar doing such a good job keeping it up. Also, kudos to Cherie Shaw and her team for winning three categories as well. While all of the winners deserve congratulations and recognition – and the full list is included in the write up of the event – a few of the categories especially caught my attention. Finally, as I will have another chance to do so prior to the Holidays, I would like to wish everyone season greetings and all the best for 2012. It is hard to believe I am almost halfway through my term and I look forward to working with you all in 2012. I have known and worked with Pat Hutchison for over 13 years and I was thrilled to see her take home the Most Outstanding Executive (greater than 3,500 units) award. Pat has been a friend and mentor to me and many others throughout her career. Overall, Legacy Partners had a very successful evening in winning three other categories plus winning the Grand Tributes Award for Most Outstanding Management Company. www.aamdhq.org NOV/DEC 2011 • TRENDS | 5 Fire.

Time is valuable. When is the last time you had an abundance of spare time? I’m guessing you can’t remember a time like that. So, put yourself in the shoes of your prospect. They’ve taken the time to view your property (either online or in print), they’ve quite possibly contacted you ahead of time to either clarify any questions they had, find out your hours or to make an appointment; and they’ve taken the additional time to visit your property. They have put forth time and effort to learn more about your community. And you disrespect them by *not* asking them to lease? What’s up with that, anyway? Assume the sale - they wouldn’t be in your office if they weren’t sincerely interested in living at your community. Here’s the exception to that old rule regarding the word ‘assume’.

It was a perfect night in Denver and the Apartment Industry shined bright under the city lights.

It was a celebration of the best of the best - the cream of the crop those who make the multifamily housing industry great! The Apartment Association, with the help of so many incredibly generous sponsors, gave out 52 awards for excellence in marketing, management, leasing, maintenance, property categories, as well as industry supplier categories, and the entire room came to their feet for a standing ovation when a lifetime achievement award was presented to Dr. Gordon Von Stroh. Legacy Partners was presented with the Most Outstanding Management Company Tribute for the third time out of the last four Tributes events. All the award winners are listed in the following pages. Community Interiors was the Presenting Sponsor of the event for the third time. Special thanks to Foy and Will Bailey for all their energy and support!

So let’s have some fun brainstorming how to move the dial towards zero resident turnover! Stop Pushing Residents Out The Door Customer Service and Maintenance – If your residents have lingering maintenance requests, or if your customer service is not up to par, then you will easily drive them from your community. Long-term Lease Contracts – Create alternatives to the standard one-year lease that mitigate concerns over achieving rent increases. Why do we constantly make our residents re-evaluate their living situation year after year? Apply Concessions Immediately – Obviously concessions are not recommended, but if they must be given, have it applied immediately to the first months of lease. Therefore, the lease renewal isn’t coupled with a large increase in rent purely because of the concession expiring. Release the Bad Apples – With your residents consolidated in such a small area, it is easy for one nuisance neighbor to make life miserable for several others, such as noise disturbances, trash, and other issues. Instead of placating these bad residents, we need to have good solutions to actually enforce our leases and drive these residents out the door. The key? Document, document, document! Rent Increases Coupled With Benefit Increases – We obviously want to capitalize on market conditions that allow for higher rents. But honestly, we often get very lazy when it comes to the increase, with the mentality of “Take it or leave it, we’ll find someone else to lease your apartment.” But that means that although you have gotten your increase, you have to offset it with the turnover cost. And besides, residents rarely understand the market adjustment to begin with. Sure, if they move out they will get similar rent elsewhere, but then at least they get a freshly painted apartment with possibly new carpet, etc. So if we are giving big increases, why not plan in some benefits to soften the blow? By escaping the turnover cost, you can easily afford some tantalizing renewal benefits if they take the large rent increase. Inspire Residents To Want To Stay Establish Emotional Ownership – The more effort you put into something, the more likely you are to stick with it. A great example of this is Google+. So many people will not want to join Google+ because they have already established their social circle on Facebook, as well as putting so much effort into their profile. When it comes to renting, however, customizing and making the apartment their “home” is more difficult, although renewal upgrades are an interesting concept. www.aamdhq.org Create a “Sense of Community” – This is another factor that moves from pushing out residents through bad service to making them actively want to stay. Human connections are incredibly powerful, so we should be analyzing more direct strategies to foster them. Resident Referrals – Not only do resident referrals provide new leases, but they are inherently resident connections right from the start. Plus, having friends in the community essentially means you have an “undercover sales force”. If Jack’s friend is thinking about moving, but Jack’s lease doesn’t expire for 7 months, he will actively try to convince his friend to renew! Identify Potential Long-Term Residents Targeted Niches – A resident will more likely stay at a community that ties in with their lifestyle in a focused way. For example, going beyond just “pet friendly” to a dog paradise would create multiple connection points beyond just having a “sparkling pool” and granite countertops. An unbelievable dog park will actually inspire someone to say, “Duke loves the dog park – I would hate to take him away from that.” Targeted Resident Traits – Some residents are predisposed to living at one place for long periods of time. Effectively targeting these types of residents can naturally lengthen the stay for the average resident. Tighten Up Resident Approval Process – Not only do you want to proactively reach out to those who could be long-term renters, but you also want to weed out those who surely won’t. Obviously do not do anything that violates Fair Housing, but restrict residents who are obviously more transient by requiring that they have stayed at their previous residence for longer than X years. Also, increase income requirements to lower chance of default. Problem-Solve To Help Residents Stay Help Residents Who Are On Hard Times - Your community should have a list of every reason someone decided to move. In a time of high unemployment, you will have situations where residents want to stay but simply can’t because of finances. You can help in a variety of different ways: • Roommate Finder – Create a program that helps residents find roommates to help spread the cost of rent across multiple people. • Job Finder – We already have Preferred Employer Programs to get referrals from companies, but why not reverse the situation? Work with companies to establish a job board and special lead-ins for residents who have lost their job? Also, provide events that will help with finding a job, such as a resume development workshop.

NOV/DEC 2011 • TRENDS | 35 AIMS UPDATE Apartment challenges discussed at FCC Wireless Coverage meeting O n October 28, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) held a Forum to address options for easing the “spectrum crunch” in wireless broadband and cellular access, a top priority for the Commission. Current demand for bandwidth already vastly exceeds the available wireless spectrum, and growing demand for highspeed access will further exacerbate the problem for both businesses and consumers, including apartment owners and residents. demonstration program designed to provide job training and other support services to residents. Although the FCC has not yet initiated a formal rulemaking process to address the problem, the Forum will likely influence the direction of an eventual proposal that could impact apartment firms. NAA/NMHC Press HUD on Bed Bug Guidance Speaking on behalf of NAA/NMHC, Lyn Lansdale (AvalonBay Communities, Inc.) discussed resident expectations for WiFi and cellular access in apartment communities, and the corresponding public policies, market demands, and infrastructure/engineering challenges that can prevent apartment owners from satisfying those needs. NAA/NMHC continue to press HUD to rescind its Bed Bug Guidance (Notice H2011-20, see the August 29 AIMS Update) because of serious deficiencies contained within it. At a meeting with senior HUD officials on November 3, NAA/NMHC followed up on a previous letter about the scope of the Notice, which applies not only to federally assisted properties but also to properties with HUD-insured loans. HUD acknowledged our concerns and indicated that they will likely revise the Notice rather than rescind it. Solving that problem is challenging for apartment owners because many factors may limit wireless reliability, including design and building materials, and because a community may be served by multiple and variable telecommunications providers. Lansdale also noted that local mandates to ensure broadband access for police and fire department communications have increasingly required costly building retrofits. Congress Tackles Section 8 Reform The decade-long effort to reform the Section 8 program continues. Earlier this month, the House Financial Services Committee held a hearing on a draft “Section Eight Savings Act (SESA)” bill. The not-yet-introduced bill makes numerous NAA/NMHC-supported changes to the program. An earlier draft of the bill would have eliminated multiple inspections of units that have already been inspected for FHA financing or participation in the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and other assisted housing programs. It would also allow biennial inspections, allow occupancy before initial inspection if the unit has passed an inspection in the prior 12 months and allow the use of alternatives to HUD’s housing quality standards. The latest version, however, only allows those flexibilities for housing agencies that agree to participate in a new self-sufficiency We are strongly recommending lawmakers reinstate the earlier legislative language, noting that, as originally written, the bill was estimated to save the government nearly $1 billion. The Committee is likely to address this issue before the new year. Officials indicated that they were open to refining the scope of the document in light of the “unfair cost burden to owners of certain properties.” As HUD’s portfolio shifts its concentration to market-rate from subsidized properties, the Department says it needs to pay more attention to the fundamental management differences that exist between federally assisted and insured properties. We have also discussed our concerns with the Guidance with members of Congress. At our urging, Rep. Robert Dold (R-IL) has written a letter to HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan “strongly urging him to work with the apartment industry and others to develop an improved, more balanced approach” to dealing with bed bug infestations. A separate letter from Rep. Steve Stivers (R-OH) to Donovan also calls on the Department to rescind the notice, noting the lack of an adequate comment period for affected housing owners and the unintended consequence the Guidance has created by limiting property owners’ options to deal with threats posed to properties by bed bug infestations. Stivers also calls troubling provisions in the Guidance suggesting that HUD-insured properties could be put in non-monetary default for bed bug infestations, even when a property has an ongoing integrated pest management plan in place.

REFERUSTOYOURSISTER COMMUNITIESINOTHERSTATES www.aamdhq.org House Republicans Hold Hearing on Latest GSE Reform Bill The House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets held a hearing on November 3 on legislation offered by panel Chair Scott Garrett (R-N.J.) that would create a robust private market for single-family housing finance. The measure is aimed at eliminating the federal role in guaranteeing mortgage finance. The proposal would task the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), the current GSE regulator, with developing and enforcing standards for all residential mortgage-backed securities. It specifically calls on FHFA to create several categories of mortgages with uniform underwriting standards for each as well as uniform securitization agreements and representations and warranties. It would also repeal the “risk retention” provisions included in last year’s Dodd-Frank financial reform law. Although the bill is silent on multifamily finance, NAA/NMHC are actively following it because of the indirect impact it would have on the multifamily if, as expected, the House considers it in conjunction with a comprehensive GSE reform bill previously introduced by Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX). Hensarling’s bill would completely privatize the housing finance system over the next five years. Even if the bills do pass the House, the Senate is not expected to act on them. International Code Council Recognizes NAA/NMHC’s Ron Nickson On November 2, the International Code Council honored NAA/ NMHC’s Vice President of Building Codes, Ron Nickson, with their 2011 ICC Affiliate Award in recognition of his 30 years in the industry. The Award is presented to a building industry professional who consistently demonstrates the qualities of integrity, professionalism and dedication through service to the profession. Ron was also cited for his efforts in launching the Bob Fowler Motorcycle Ride, a charity fundraiser named after Fowler who had the vision to bring the three regional code groups together to create the ICC. Funds raised in the ride support scholarships to help local code officials attend code development hearings. This year the program supported 94 scholarship recipients. Controversial Lease Accounting Rule Changes Exclude Apartment Leases In a victory for apartment owners, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) on October 21 announced they would exclude commercial property owners, including apartment firms, from controversial proposed changes to lease accounting rules. The now-jettisoned proposal would have required apartment firms to account for all of the income for leases lasting longer than 12 months on their balance sheets at the time of execution. Because the proposal included leases with optional renewal periods, a large number of apartment leases would have been covered. If effectuated as originally proposed, apartment owners would have had to modify their lease management tracking procedures and data management to facilitate the new accounting treatment. Second, firms would have had to decide whether to use two different standards--one for leases under a year and one for longer-term leases. The new FASB/IASB rules were supposed to be finalized in June 2011; however, most observers now believe they will not be enacted until 2015 at the earliest. A final draft version is expected in the first quarter of 2012. AIMS is the apartment industry’s grassroots network operating under NAA and NMHC’s Joint Legislative Program. AIMS represents more than 54,000 multifamily housing advocates.
