88. The Art of Curb Appeal
BY BETSY ELAINE TYURIN
Business Development Coordinator
World Builders Inc.
Creativity and personality are two important
marketing features of any apartment community that can make
or break the sale or retention of your tenant clientele. I know
that my mother always told me that you shouldn’t judge a book
by its cover, but the truth is, when it comes to where we want to
call home, we all do.
As human beings, when we sign a contract to designate
an apartment community to be our home, we want that home to
reflect something about us - our personality, our sense of
aesthetics, our perception of comfort and safety. As the world
conforms to changes in technology and the way that information
is delivered to us, our attention span is increasingly diminished.
A first impression may be the only chance you have to
make a prospective tenant interested in what you have to offer, so
if your complex does not look good on the outside, it no longer
matters if you have brand new energy efficient appliances because
if there’s dog poo in the grass out in front of your property, your
prospective tenant will never take the time look that far.
So how do you get the attention of your future
audience? The art is in the details.
Based on your property’s location and current resident
demographic, different aesthetic tastes will be apparent, but there
are some basic design principles that you can use as a guide no
matter what audience you are trying to reach. The properties
shown here each cater to a very different target market.
Santorini Apartments in Ft. Myers, Florida. CityScape Apartments in Dallas, Texas.
Point at Deerfield Apartments in Plano, Texas.
Keep it Clean.
The visual appearance of straight lines sends the
message to the eye that a structure is stable and well kept.
Making repairs to rooflines and foundation to ensure that
your buildings and structures are predominantly showing
a 90 degree angle where they intersect with the ground can
tap into the subconscious perception of stability and ca-
pability of withstanding the impact of future damage that
may be caused by weather, earthquakes, erosion and other
variables beyond your control.
Make Sense.
People derive comfort from routines and patterns
in their lives that they may not even be aware of. If your
color scheme does not flow to an easily recognizeable
pattern such as: all doors are this color; all trim is that col-
or; all windows are this size, etc.; then it can come across
as chaotic, even if the individual paint colors are flawlessly
applied and look great on each individual surface.
When repainting, staining, and landscaping your
property, every color and detail should be chosen with a
reason that compliments the big picture of the property as
a whole.
Because determining a reason certain aesthetic
details go together is not always easy, many properties
stick with basic safe color palates that are neutral. I’ve
even witnessed some instances that tenants have com-
plained when seeing new colors painted on their
properties that were unexpected. A good color choice is
one that evokes emotion, but is not jarring to the culture
you’ve already created.
Maintaining landscaping is also critical. Choose
plants that thrive through all seasons, or be prepared to
have a landscaper swap them out seasonally. Overgrown
or apparently dead hedges, trees and flowers can make
your property look run down, so maintaining these nice-
ties is a must!
Amen to Amenities!
In an economic slump, maintaining amenities
can be a property manager’s worst nightmare. The cozy
hammocks that gave your complex the feel of an urban
retreat can look inviting to homeless drifters. The TVs
attached to your expensive fitness center machines can
become attractive play toys for your residents’ children
who’ve lost their cable TV luxury. Your residents might
experience other residents sneaking laundry into the top
loading machines they just paid for - yes, it has happend to
me.
This kind of abuse can cause these once nice
ammenities to become unsafe, frustrating, and even scary.
Keeping these areas well lit, maintained, secured and regu-
larly monitored can help keep them an asset rather than a
liability.☐

How to Develop the
Infrastructure of a Safe
Apartment Community
BY BETSY ELAINE TYURIN
Business Development Coordinator
World Builders Inc.
As an Angelino for 5 years, struggling to make my way
through school at USC as one of the only students in attendance
that was not supported by a voluptuous pile of “mommy and
daddy money,” I found myself living in apartments in some of the
worst neighborhoods of Los Angeles.
Living alone as the first white woman on the block in
South Central in a one bedroom directly across from a liquor
store, and often being responsible for tens of thousands of dollars
worth of cinema school equipment meant my apartment was a
prime target for attempted break ins and vigilance was an abso-
lute necessity.
Later, in the Koreatown neighborhood, where I lived for
the latter two years of my stint in the City of Angels, shootings
and race related crimes were a regular occurrence. Riding the bus
from the corner of Olympic and Alvarado to work at the Century
City mall often meant walking exposed through the hood after
dark past hookers and bums, and, on one embarrassing occasion,
getting mistaken for one.
Moving to Dallas has made me realize the huge differ-
ence between a community that was built to withstand a high
crime location and one that was in a once nice neighborhood that
has digressed with the economy.
Properties that were developed in bad neighborhoods
from the beginning often offer better safety features than com-
plexes originally built in nice neighborhoods. Some of these
features, such as gated parking under the building with remote
control access, cannot easily be replicated on existing structures,
and others that can be, such as installing bars on the windows,
can be a poor fit for the culture of the tenants you already have.
Revamping the safety factor of your multifamily prop-
erty can be a daunting and expensive prospect when crime has
moved into your neighborhood, but with the recent economic
decline, communities everywhere are seeing increases in break-
ins, muggings, robberies and trespassing.
- Dick Powell
There are things you can do to make your
property safer for residents, and doing them is increas-
ingly critical for marketing and retention purposes.
Good Lighting Is Critical.
When a crime is easy to commit without the
perpetrator getting seen or caught, it is more likely to
occur. Make sure that you have good lighting installed
in your parking lot, common areas, and walkways. Not
only will this make your property more appealing in
appearance to your current and future tenants, but it
will make potential criminal acts more visible to anyone
who happens to pass by these areas.
Remove Visual Obstructions.
Muggers and rapists tend to try to lure or catch
their victims in secluded areas where they can easily
be trapped and prevented from escaping or calling for
help. Narrow walkways and overgrown hedges or small
confined areas like laundry rooms or pubic bathrooms
make unsuspecting tenants easy targets.
These opportunities can be mitigated by ensur-
ing that overgrown shrubbery is cut back to a height
of three feet or less, or removed. For small enclosed
rooms, make sure there are two exits so that someone
in the room cannot as easily be trapped by someone
blocking the door. Consider installing windows in these
areas so there is a sightline to an open area.
Get Social in Person and Online.
Sure, you may keep a copy of a drivers license
or a photo of your residents on file, but how often do
you look at it? Positive interaction with your tenants
builds good will and better communication and the
knowledge of who belongs on your property and who
doesn’t.
Creating a closed Facebook group for your
community can allow you to add your residents and re-
strict the access of those who don’t belong, because you
can use privacy settings that only allow people to find
or join the group if they are invited by someone who
is already a member. This is a great way to get your
residents to know one another socially, and share infor-
mation about things they see going on in your property
that they might not otherwise be calling or emailing to
report. You can also use a group to post documents
Restrict Access to Nonresidents.
Guests of residents should always be accom-
panied by the resident. Unsupervised visitors to your
property are often the perpetrators of crime, and their
presence can devalue the ammenity experience your
residents pay for when your fitness center or pool are
overcrowded.
Nonresident visitors not accompanied by a
resident are more likely to damage the property, leave
litter in common areas, and create nuisances like run-
ning your public bathrooms out of toilet paper without
notifying your management to replace it. In some
instances, I’ve even witnessed homeless people sleep-
ing and bathing in fitness centers and common areas
like swimming pools or dog parks. This can become a
resident perception nightmare.
According to the Dallas Police Department, the
best thing a tenant or member of management can do
when an unaccompanied nonresident is identified is to
call 911. The police can ask the nonresident for ID and
issue a trespassing warning. If the nonresident leaves
the property before the police arrive, there is nothing
they can do, so officers recommend not directly engag-
ing with the trespasser. First time violations will get a
warning, and second offenses can be arrested. It is up
to both residents and management to ensure that the
property is not overly inviting to unwanted guests. ☐

90. Calling the Police: PR
Nightmare or Liability
Protection?
BY BETSY ELAINE TYURIN
Business Development Coordinator
World Builders Inc.
A police car pulls up outside your property
with sirens blaring. Invariably a crowd of residents
gather and begin speculating about what may be going
on. Many property management companies provide
tenants with information about these incidents via email
or flyer to help control the conversation and
reassure tenants of their safety or need to be vigilant,
while others remain silent.
The Questions to Consider:
• How will gossip and speculation affect the resident
experience if nothing is explained?
• Will providing information about an incident that
might have gone unnoticed create unnecessary
panic?
• Are my tenants or my staff at risk?
• What safety measures can I provide if I don’t call the
police?
According to an article published in Multifam-
ily Executive on October 19, 2009, studies have shown
that sexual assault, and assault and battery are the two
crimes most likely to result in premises liability lawsuits
against multifamily property owners and managers.
The best way to prevent these lawsuits from
happening is to know how to utilize your property’s
safety features and create a set protocol for your
management for when and how to react when an unsafe
situation comes to their attention.
Security Cameras
You may already have them installed, but how
often is your staff actually checking them? New blue
tooth technology allows residents and management
the capability to see what the camera sees in real time
via their computers or mobile phones. Is it time for an
upgrade?
Being able to personally see security footage can
make your tenants feel safer and be more deterred from
committing crimes against the property or other residents
because they are aware that their own actions might be
seen by others.
Controlled Access
Making your entries and exits to gates, am-
menities and other common areas restricted to electronic
key card access can allow you to know exactly who was in
these parts of your property at any time. The microchip
in the key card logs the name of the card holder and the
exact date and time he or she used the card at each point
of access.
Noise Complaints
Noise complaints are very common in apart-
ment communities where tenants live in close proximity.
They can be about inconsequential things like the jock
who plays his stereo too loud, the girl who gets drunk
and noisy at odd hours, but sometimes the noise can be
related to serious concerns like rape or domestic violence.
Often tenants will voice these complaints to
management because if they address the situation directly,
it could create an angry or retaliatory situation with
someone that they are contractually obligated to live next
to for the remainder of their leases.
It is important to have your management team
document all noise complaints with specific detail, such as
if the noise was music versus someone yelling or fight-
ing. Many incidents of rape and domestic violence go
unreported because the victim is fearful of retaliation, and
having the police investigate incidents in which noise com-
plaints involved fighting can save the lives of victims who
haven’t found their own voices.
Having the police visit your property can be a red
flag that something unsafe has happened, but if your man-
agement provides appropriate communication with your
residents, it can show your commitment to ensure a safe
environment and mitigate some premises liability issues.
The key is to control the way the information is presented,
which means not staying silent, which allows for gossip.
Alarms and Monitoring Services
Installing alarms with monitoring for burglary/
fire/medical emergency services in each unit of your prop-
erty can raise your property value, decrease your insurance
rates, and make your residents feel safer.
Multi-building property on an open site? Con-
sider installing an emergency call box in the parking lot
and other dangerous areas so that residents and staff can
call for help even if they are caught without their cell
phones. ☐

reported crimes over a period of time. More information is available at fbi.gov.

91. How to Get the Best Price and
Value Out of Your Multifamily
Renovation Bid
BY BETSY ELAINE TYURIN
Business Development Coordinator
World Builders Inc.
Expressions like “caveat emptor” and “you get
what you pay for,” have only become more poignant with
the fluctuations in economic stability our country has
been facing since the latter part of 2009. As companies
downsize, mechanize and restructure, it becomes harder
and harder to tell the difference between the professional
organization that is running slimmer and smarter versus
the so-called “general contractor” that is merely a little
guy with no overhead running his company out of the
back of his truck.
However, one thing that has not changed in the
last decade, is the fact that choosing the wrong general
contractor to work with can be disasterous. Sometimes
the guy who gives you the lowest bid in order to get the
job only does so because he plans to cut corners or blind
side you with change orders once the job is already in
progress and he can hold your property hostage in order
to exact payment. And the last thing anyone wants are
surprises.
Here are some tips to help you sort through the
chaos and find the right person or business, as well as get
the best price for your renovation project:
Develop a Solid Scope of Work for Your
Contractor to Bid.
Different people have different visions for the
best way to handle a project, and therefore, different
contractors will have different ideas about the approach
they would take to working on your property. Therefore,
if you don’t give the contractors bidding your contract
a clear baseline standard of information you want them
to provide, you cannot be sure that you are comparing
apples to apples.
By setting certain fixed variables such as paint
technique or gutter size, you can get a better view into
how the bids you are viewing compare.
Don’t Be Afraid to Share.
A lot of business people feel that showing your
cards up front can be a poor negotiation tactic because if
you say what you are willing to pay for, you will get just that
and nothing more. However, one point to consider, is that
if you don’t give your contractor a ballpark figure to aim
for, you could be disqualifying a higher bid from someone
that might have tried to meet your budget requirements
had they known what to shoot for.
You may also be able to negotiate a better deal
by letting your contractor know different work items and
trades you want to address over time as budget allows, and
your contractor can help you plan the mose effective way
to meet your overall objectives. The best contractors can
even help you meet with your banker to explain why and
how the investment will pay off. The price may very de-
pending on whether you intend to contract one item at a
time, or can make a commitment to a full scale project.
Help Get it Right the First Time.
A lot of the unpleasant surprises that happen in
any construction project come from inaccurate
measurements or oversight of the full amount of materials
and labor a certain work item requires. If you can provide
your contractor with site plans or blue prints that include
such information as square footage and number of units,
your estimator can compare these against his own
measurements to decrease the margin of error.
Think Outside the Project.
Chances are, if you are a property manager
or developer collecting bids for a single project, it might
not be the only project or bid your company is working on.
By looking at the bigger picture there are lots of ways you
can save.
Perhaps you want to bid a job for exterior paint,
and your company’s maintenance team has a great pur-
chasing relationship with a major paint supplier like Sher-
win Williams because they routinely purchase paint for
interior make-readys across fifteen properties. Consider
using this supplier relationship to determine if you may
get a better price on your exterior paint job by having your
company order the exterior paint through this channel and
asking your contractor to simply price out the labor for
applying the materials you provide.
Harness the Power of Relationships.
In any business arrangement, people are
motivated in large part by their perception of the ability of
the business relationship to grow and be profitable to both
parties. Even if you can’t confidently tell your contractor
about the next up and coming project you have to work
on, you can network your contractor into your circle of
colleagues in the business.
Helping each other build relationships in the
industry leads to better production because your contrac-
tor aspires to live up to your recommendation, and better
prices because they know that your relationship is solid
and they have reason to be loyal because future work will
come down the road.
Keep the Communication Flowing.
One of the biggest things that separates the men
from the boys in the construction industry is customer
service. A good contractor will be able to respond and
adapt to your changing needs in a timely manner.
This doesn’t mean that they can read minds. If
you perceive something in a project isn’t meeting your ex-
pectations, contact the construction manager immediately.
Often, the impulse is to just deal with the on-site
superintendent on a project, but this person doesn’t always
have the means or incentive to pass the information higher
up, so calling the main office can help ensure your prob-
lems are heard by someone who has their eyes on the big
picture and can better solve your problems.☐

101. Before they were movies...
They were comic books.
The motion pictures featured in the movie posters shown above all belong to feature films produced between the summer of
2005 to the present, based on popular comic books and graphic novels featured in the Platinum Studios library of comic books..
As a development intern, Betsy assisted with the packaging and sale of these and other comic book titles to major motion
picture studios by reviewing and organizing materials from Platinum’s massive library into catalogues for use in the production of
log lines and one-sheets that were presented in pitch meetings with potential producers, writers and directors.
Betsy was responsible for reading and digesting individual installments or entire comic book series into single sentence con-
cepts that would become captivating to the creative minds that would later bring the feature length vision to life. This experience
of keeping the concept minimal in order to maximize the creative possibilities for the buyer to be inspired to take the sale and run
with it continues to be a valuable asset in any genre or industry that requires marketing and sales today.
Betsy also assisted Platinum Studios with the development of original characters and plot details for a comic book project
called “Blood Letters” that never went to print.

Championship.
Reality TV may not be scripted, but assembling
some of the world’s biggest corporate brands
into a single season doesn’t happen by accident.
As a preproduction intern on Season 3, Betsy
researched potential challenges for the show’s
contestants to determine if the tasks could
realistically be produced with cameras rolling ,
and sought information to assess viable brands
to engage as sponsors.
Tasks had to accomodate for a wide range of
possible outcomes, showcase the brand sponsor,
and include visually compelling stages of
completion to set the pace for the episode re-
gardless of how the contestant interactions
might play out.
