FIVE-YEAR
OUTLOOK IS
“ROSY FOR RENTALS”
The percentage of renters is rising, and Midwest multifamily housing owners and managers will be reaping the rewards.
In fact, the most dramatic increase in the country was in the Midwest, where renter households went up by 15.4% between 2004 and 2009.
That trend is expected to continue over the next five years. In fact, some analysts expect the share of ownership will be
pushed back to where it was in the early 1990s. Already, in the wake of the housing boom going bust, the share of U.S.
households owning houses has steadily decreased from 69% at its 2004 peak to 67.2% in the first three months of this
year. Some forecast that the rate will fall to its 1993-94 level of 64% by 2015. With the average household containing
more than two people, approximately 10 million extra people could be moving into rental housing over the next five
years.
This is good news for all of us…particularly for our companies that are pouring millions of dollars into renovating existing apartment communities and developing new ones. The August issue of INsites featured nine properties; this issue if
INsites features eleven new and renovated properties throughout Indiana. We appreciate our members’ participation in
the showcase – you have some amazing communities!

NAA Publishes 2010 Income & Expenses Survey
With 2011 operating budget preparations underway, NAA presents
results from its annual Survey of Operating Income & Expenses in
Rental Apartment Communities, completed by CEL & Associates.
An executive summary of the survey appears in the August issue of units
magazine. The survey is based on operating budgets from hundreds of
communities and is broken down by community size and type,
as well as by metropolitan statistical areas. It gives readers a greater understanding of what
competitors are spending in all facets of apartment operations. A record number of properties and
units are represented in this year’s report.
Participating management companies will receive a CD copy of the survey in its compete
form. The complete report (available by Oct. 1 at www.naahq.org/10ies) contains detailed data
summarized for six geographic regions and metropolitan areas. To order, please contact NAA’s
Valerie Hairston at [email protected].
Accreditation of CAMT Pays Off for Affiliates
Now that NAA’s Certificate for Apartment Maintenance Technicians (CAMT) training program
has achieved ANSI accreditation, local and state apartment associations whose members face
maintenance licensing requirements are finding success instituting CAMT as a licensing test. In
August, Jacksonville, Fla.’s First Coast Apartment Association successfully lobbied the city’s
Construction Trades Qualifying Board to approve the CAMT as the testing component of the city’s
Property Maintenance Craftsmen license, replacing a difficult and impractical examination. To
find out how your jurisdiction can follow Jacksonville’s lead, contact NAA Education Institute’s
Maureen Lambe at [email protected].
Megan McCadden Lyceum Leadership Scholarship
The Megan McCadden Lyceum Leadership Scholarship will be awarded at the 2010 NAA
Assembly of Delegates, Nov. 11–13 in Indianapolis. This individual scholarship emphasizes
leadership and empowers the recipient with the knowledge they need to succeed in developing
their local NAA affiliate and facilitate their becoming productive members of NAA at the local,
state and national level.
This Award is an all-expenses-paid scholarship to three national meetings per year: Capitol
Conference, Education Conference and Assembly of Delegates.
Contact Lynn Miller at [email protected].
NAA Launches Community Site and Online Resource Center
In mid-September NAA members will be able to access the latest member benefit: the new NAA
Community Site and Online Resource Center.
Members will have access to their peers around the country to ask questions, share ideas and stay
up to date on what’s going on in the industry. Members can join virtual communities to connect
with others who share their interests and have conversations with them through the forums.
The Resource Center will have something for every member’s research needs, including staff
development, marketing strategy, best practices, policies and procedures, bed bugs, and so much
more.

Four Letters Ease Housing Fears
for Some: Rent
Digested From “Four Letters Ease Housing Fears for
Some: Rent”
NPR Online (07/23/10) by Joshua Brockman
Though many people may be considering renting,
government data shows that they have yet to commit.
The vacancy rate for rental housing is currently near
an all-time high of 10.6 percent, reports the U.S.
Census Bureau. Although home sales decreased
5.1 percent last month, according to the National
Association of Realtors, the shift to rentals has not
materialized. Changing attitudes are what is needed
to boost the rental market going forward.
Nicolas Retsinas, the director of Harvard’s Joint
Center for Housing Studies, observes, “In the past,
you rented if you didn’t make enough money. You
rented if you weren’t ambitious. You rented if you
weren’t sort of smart enough. But as it turns out, as
we look in recent years, renting turned out to be a
pretty smart thing to do.” Indeed, it was a smart move
because apartment residents were not saddled with
mortgages worth more than their residences. Another
distinct advantage to renting in this economy
includes having the flexibility to move in order to
pursue employment opportunities elsewhere. Even
though people who rent do not get the same kind of
tax breaks as homeowners, renting may feel more
secure in this fragile economy.
Survey Shows Majority of
Apartment Residents Living
Without Renters Insurance
Digested From “Apartments.com National Survey
Reveals the Majority of Apartment Dwellers Are
Living Without Renters Insurance”
StreetInsider.com (07/26/10)
The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that residents
are 50 percent more likely to experience theft than
those who own homes. Despite these risks, a recent
Indy Coin Laundry
Does the Dirty Work.
You Enjoy the Profits.
Apartments.com survey shows that most apartment
dwellers continue to live without renters insurance.
The poll queried nearly 1,400 apartment hunters
nationwide. Of those, 67 percent said they do not
currently have renters insurance. The top reason
respondents gave for not being covered is that they
cannot afford it. Others claimed they did not know
such coverage existed, while still others said they do
not need renters insurance because their possessions
are not valuable enough. Almost 25 percent of the
apartment seekers polled are under the assumption
that renters insurance is too expensive. The National
Association of Insurance Commissioners, though,
notes that the average premium is less than $200 a
year.
households swung upwards by 15.4 percent during
that time span. The South, meanwhile, added the
largest number of renter households with a 1.2
million increase. Officials in Washington are now
rethinking their definition of the American Dream.
In May, HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan testified
before a House committee that the financial crisis
proved the need for a better balance between rental
housing and ownership. Just last week, HUD senior
official Raphael Bostic told the Washington Post:
“In previous eras, we haven’t seen people question
whether homeownership was the right decision. It
was just assumed that’s where you want to go. You’re
not going to hear us say that.”
Digested From “Glen Lake Apartments Invites
Dogs and Their Owners to Monthly Yappy Hour”
BusinessNews (07/25/10)
the FHA multifamily loan program. FHA recently
announced that it was close to exhausting its $15
billion in multifamily credit subsidy for FY 2010,
which would have caused the program to stop
issuing commitments until the next fiscal year starts
on October 1. The program has experienced dramatic
increases in application volume as other credit
sources remain sidelined after the global financial
crisis.

Georgia Apartment Community
Multifamily Programs Averted

coalition has helped avert a potential shutdown of
Monthly Yappy Hour
To better reach out to its residents who own dogs, the
Glen Lake Apartments in Sandy Springs, Ga., is now
offering monthly “Yappy Hours” in the community’s
dog park. The next such event is scheduled for
Wednesday evening, Aug. 4. Considered one of the
most pet-friendly apartment communities in the area,
Glen Lake provides treats for the dogs and plenty of
water, sodas, and beer for the people who bring them.
Yappy Hours, which always take place from 5:30
p.m. to 7 p.m., offer residents an opportunity to get to
know their neighbors better while their four-legged
friends play leash-free in the community’s large,
fenced dog park. Glen Lake also welcomes friends
of residents and people who are interested in moving
to come to Yappy Hour. Glen Lake is one of a few
apartment communities to welcome dogs of up to 80
pounds. Even larger canines are permitted with the
apartment manager’s approval. In addition to the dog
park and the monthly Yappy Hours, the apartment
community often secures special discounts at nearby
pet-focused businesses for its residents.
In addition, each month, Glen Lake
selects one “Pet of the Month” to feature
online and in the community newsletter.
While you invest in other areas of your property,
Indy Coin Laundry will pick up the bill on all of
your laundry room needs.
We provide top-of-the-line washers, dryers, and
24-hour expert service response. We accept

The Financial Case for
Renting Vs. Buying a Home
Digested From “Rise of the Renting
Class”
CNNMoney.com (07/28/10) by Nin-Hai
Tseng
In today’s weak housing market,
homeownership is no longer viewed by
many as an investment vehicle or as an
ATM machine for constant refinancing.
That is because ownership has been
a “culprit of distress” for the last four
years. RealtyTrac Inc. reports that one
in every 411 housing units received a
foreclosure filing during the month of
June. The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price
Index, meanwhile, shows that home
prices plunged more than 32 percent
between 2006 and 2009. With so much
stress on homeowner markets, renting
has become more appealing than owning
for many. A 2010 study of the Joint
Center for Housing Studies of Harvard
University determined that the number
of renter households increased almost 10
percent, or by 3.4 million, between 2004
and 2009.
The increase was most dramatic in
the Midwest, where growth of renter
Last week, FHA Commissioner David Stevens issued
a memo outlining the situation and identifying HUD’s
planned response. On August 4—just two days before
it was set to adjourn until mid-September—the
Senate passed by unanimous consent an emergency
standalone bill (H.R. 5872) providing an additional
$5 billion in credit authority. This follows House
passage of an identical bill on July 28.
President Obama is expected to sign the measure into
law. As a result, the FHA multifamily programs are
expected to have enough credit subsidy to continue
issuing commitments without interruption.
NMHC Quarterly Survey Shows
Widespread Improvement
The apartment market’s rebound continues to gain
momentum, according to NMHC’s latest Quarterly
Survey of Apartment Market Conditions.
All four of the survey’s indexes covering occupancy,
sales volume, equity finance and debt finance showed
improvement over three months ago; the indexes for
both sales volume and equity financing registered
all-time highs.
In a press release announcing the survey, NMHC
Chief Economist Mark Obrinsky noted that “Demand
for apartment residences has substantially increased
thanks to modest improvements in the jobs market
and the continuing decline in homeownership
rates. Going forward, the near-term outlook for
the apartment industry is likely to be tied to the
pace of job growth. Over the longer term, positive
demographic trends are likely to keep the demand for
apartments growing.”
NAAEI Celebrates National
Apartment Careers Month
NAAEI will once again celebrate National Apartment
Careers Month in February 2011. National Apartment
Careers Month was created to bring awareness and
promote the attractive and recession-resistant careers
in the apartment industry.
New this year, NAAEI is calling for submissions
for its “Get Reel” Career Video Challenge posted
on YouTube, where winners can be eligible to win a
trip to the 2011 NAA Conference and Exposition in
Las Vegas. For more details and the entry rules, visit

SPONSORS:
Ending the Feud
Communication Skills for Maintenance & Management
There is an underlying current of unrest on apartment communities that has been
growing over the past few years. It is a “feud”, for lack of a better description,
between the management and maintenance sides of the on-site operations. This
division of viewpoints, attitudes, priorities, and communication skills plus the
lack of understanding of the “big picture” has, in some cases, developed into
an all out war between these two groups. In this seminar we analyze some basic
conflicts including personality differences, communication skills, building good
relationships, priority planning, and customer service.
We will actually play a version of the television game show, “The Family Feud”,
with members from both maintenance and management. This fast-paced, funfilled exercise shows how effective it can be to work together as a team in a fun
environment to accomplish a common goal.
Join us on Tuesday, September 28th when National Speaker and Apartment All
Star Jackie Ramstedt will help you learn better communication skills and how to
operate effectively as a team.
Bring your ENTIRE Staff – Managers, Leasing and Maintenance!

A Bunch of Today’s Renters Won’t Ever Buy Homes ... Well, No Kidding
Posted by: Michael Cunningham on Aug 19, 2010 10:33
Yesterday, there was lots of media coverage highlighting results of a survey
that indicates quite a few of today’s renters don’t expect to ever become home
buyers. Specifically, a Harris Interactive poll of about 2,000 folks conducted for
real estate search site Trulia.com found that 27 percent of current renters don’t
anticipate that they’ll eventually make the leap to home purchase.
Page 7
EXPERIENCE THE GREAT LAKES
DIFFERENCE.
SUPERIOR PRODUCTS. SUPERIOR SERVICE.
Looking a little more closely at the survey info provided on Trulia’s website,
only 663 of the 2,000 people surveyed actually are renters, and there’s no
info provided on what type of housing (apartments, single-family homes, or
something else) the renters are leasing. That seems like a pretty small sample
to use when making broad-brush statements about a large and diverse group of
renters, but let’s go ahead and assume that the survey results are accurate. Do
they, in fact, mean anything?
The Census Bureau reports that 66.9 percent of American households are
homeowners, meaning that 33.1 percent rent. If 27 percent of those renters don’t
expect to buy at some point, the total pool of all households excluded forever
from purchase is just 9 percent.
Throwing some more numbers out there for you to think about (go on, whip out
your iPad for a calc-a-long), today’s median home price across the country is
$176,900, according to the National Association of Realtors. Assuming you’re
really old fashioned and will only buy a home that costs three times your annual
income, you’ll need to make about $59,000 to afford the typical home. The
latest version of the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey shows that
incomes are below $50,000 for 48 percent of U.S. households. Furthermore, 23
percent of all households have incomes below $25,000, too low to afford not
only the median-priced single-family home but also pretty much any for-sale
housing anywhere in the country.
Thus, if 27 percent of all renters, or 9 percent of total households, don’t expect to
buy at some point, that’s truly well less than half the folks who at this time don’t
appear to be qualified buyers in any way, shape or form. And we certainly won’t
be doing anybody any favors by encouraging non-qualified buyers to go out
there and purchase in order to deplete the excess inventory of for-sale product.

WESTHAVEN APARTMENTS
Warmth, comfort, and luxury define Westhaven Apartments, now open in
the emerging Whitestown/Zionsville area. Built and managed by the Gene
B. Glick Company, Westhaven is located off S.R. 334, just east of I-65.
For its first apartment development project in nearly 20 years, Glick chose
the location for its easy access to downtown Indianapolis, plus the area’s
job growth, excellent schools and overall market conditions. “We believe
this area of Boone County will be the next major growth center in Indiana,”
said David Barrett, president and CEO of Glick. “We have built an upscale
product intended to meet the needs of young professionals and families
alike. It’s an outstanding community.”
The resort-style clubhouse includes a café and spacious fitness center, both
available to residents 24 hours a day; Wi-Fi is available throughout the
clubhouse and surrounding the expansive heated pool.
“Westhaven is the premier community in Boone County and is our flagship
project in Indiana,” said Barrett. “Demand for these apartment homes has
far exceeded our expectations, and we may consider expanding the project.
We continue to look for new construction and acquisition opportunities in
the Indianapolis market and beyond.”
Westhaven Apartments can be found online at www.findyourhaven.com.
The community’s 182 units range from 589 square-foot one bedrooms to
1,387 square-foot three bedroom homes. Many floor plans feature innovative
flex spaces, and residents in each home enjoy verandas and abundant
natural light from oversized windows. Condo-quality features include
9-foot ceilings, designer track and pendant lighting, satin nickel hardware,
oversized Roman soaking tubs, crown molding and six-panel doors.

HARVARD SQUARE
Upgrades for a New Generation
Kirkpatrick Management Company, Inc. (KMC) has been responsible for
overseeing renovations at Harvard Square Cooperative, including acting as
liaison between the property and the mortgage company. KMC has managed
the 342 unit property located on the south side of Marion County continuously
since 1973. Renovations were necessary to keep the property competitive
with newer complexes in the area. Thanks to an extensive planning program
and an organized approach to the renovations, residents only had to put up
with one day of inconvenience. All units received new cabinets, refrigerators,
stacked washer/dryer units, microwaves and dishwashers. Additionally,
all units received a new HVAC system. In many of the units the upgrade
included knocking out walls and redesigning the floor plan to create a more
open feeling. As walls were opened up, inspectors checked for mold. Pictured
below is a shot taken from the living room of a two-bedroom flat looking
onto the back patio. Next to that is a photo taken from the opposite angle,
showing the wall removed and the new cabinets. The third photo shows the
entire kitchen, including the new stacked washer/dryer, the newly relocated
refrigerator, as well as the dishwasher and microwave. When completed, the
total cost of the project
will be approximately
$3,300,000.00
and
will include paving the
existing main street
and staining all patio
privacy fences.
