How these figures are calculated: All net operating income figures are normalized to the same basis — after mortgage, property tax, and insurance — so every year is directly comparable. The prior PM included mortgage as a below-the-line item; LSPM includes it inside operating expenses. 2021 revenue was unusually elevated by ~$61K in one-time Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) payments. 2025 net operating income adjusted for $73K in owner-direct tax/insurance payments not reflected in AppFolio.

We are down around 20–30% from peak pricing in 2021. It's honestly a really good testament to your management that you've been able to hold your value steady while increasing the NOI.

1 Revenue recovered and kept growing After the prior PM's $33K revenue decline in 2022, LSPM grew it $68K in year one — then kept growing to $547K by 2025
2 Utility cost recovery $50K billed back to tenants in 2025 vs. near-zero under prior management — a structural income improvement
3 Strategic capex in 2023–24 $53K in targeted turnovers cleared years of deferred maintenance, improving unit quality and reducing future repair spend
Property value held flat in a down market Independent appraiser confirmed value held while comparable Portland properties fell 20–30% from 2021 peak
! NOI collapsed to $19K in 2022 After mortgage, tax, and insurance — a 30-unit complex generated just $19K for the owner. Prior year buoyed by one-time ERAP payments
! Late property tax payment Annual tax bill paid late, generating a large penalty the owner had to absorb directly
! Code misinterpretation Mandated full electrical outlet replacement on every turnover, inflating costs unnecessarily on each vacancy
! No value protection strategy Without active management intervention, appraiser projected a 20–30% property value decline consistent with the broader market
