Hi Multifamily fam, I love the Synthesis MF deal analyzer. I do have a few questions on it if someone could help out? 1. If we want to buy out the LP's upon refinance, How do we build that in the model without deleting lines beyond the refi year in "Returns" tab? 2. If I have a unit type with 10 units and i'd be doing value add by adding 5 more units, is there a way to capture this? 3. Would be great to see the proforma P&L by Month. This will be great to build the budget. The monthly will also help monitor variances and progress against the actuals. Is this on the roadmap? Thank you!

Excited to share that my team and I are officially under contract on our next multifamily property!

I have interviewed dozens and dozens... and dozens of property managers in my time with Sharpline to help us find the best talent. This blog post is to help synthesize some of my best takeaways so far and help you improve your recruiting and hiring process for Property Managers going forward. Hiring the right property manager can stabilize your asset, protect your NOI, and prevent resident churn. The wrong hire slows down turns, invites resident issues, and costs you more than their salary. This guide gives you: - A short list of hiring best practices - The 10 most useful interview questions to assess ownership, systems, and performance - What red flags to look for Hiring Best Practices Define the role clearly - Unit count, property type (A/B/C), stabilized vs. value-add - What they’re directly responsible for: leasing, resident issues, vendors, reporting, maintenance coordination - Required systems knowledge (AppFolio, Yardi, ResMan, etc.) Screen for ownership early - Avoid candidates who blame their last company, team, or supervisor - Look for people who take responsibility and want to improve outcomes Prioritize real-world experience - Ask about what they did — not what they would do - Push for data and KPIs: occupancy, renewals, delinquency, NOI, turn times Assess alignment - Be clear about hours, pace, workload, team size, and pay - Ask if this role matches what they’re actually looking for - Don’t skip questions about income expectations and schedule Watch how they communicate - Do they follow up? - Are they organized and clear? - Do they understand resident-facing and ownership-facing communication styles? 10 Interview Questions That Work VERY Well Use these to assess both competence and character. Keep the tone direct and conversational. Take notes. Don’t settle for vague answers. 1. Why are you looking for a new role right now? - You’re looking for signs of ownership. Not blame. 2. What attracted you to this company and role? - If they don’t know much about your business, they didn’t prepare. 3. What does your ideal job look like — and how close is this one? - Helps you catch misalignment early. 4. What’s your biggest weakness — and how are you working on it? - Look for self-awareness. Avoid rehearsed or fake-sounding answers. 5. What KPIs did you own at your last property? What were your results? - Push for numbers. If they can’t give any, that’s a problem. 6. Tell me about a time you had to turn around a struggling property. - Listen for prioritization, clarity, and follow-through. 7. Walk me through how you manage resident complaints and maintenance follow-up. - Look for systems, not just “I follow up.” 8. How do you hold vendors and your team accountable? - You’re looking for leadership and communication under pressure. 9. What kind of hours are you looking to work — and what’s your minimum required income? - Set expectations early. Avoid surprises later. 10. What do you enjoy doing outside of work? - Adds context and helps you understand personality fit.
