物业管理英语第一讲:
Property Management
Property management is the process of overseeing the operation and maintenance of real property to achieve the objectives of the property owner. Sometimes owners manage their own property, particularly small properties and particularly when they themselves occupy part of the space. But for larger properties or those whose owners live at a distance, management is usually performed by a paid property manager, either an individual buildings on long-term leases, where tenants maintain the building, pay the taxes and insurance,
and mail the owner a check each month. But most residential, office, retail, and many industrial properties offer services along with the space over time.
Property management has long been an underrated function in the real estate industry. The need for professional management did not become apparent until the depression of the 1930s, when numerous foreclosures revealed a pattern of management deficiencies. This oversight might seem strange, since running a large commercial or residential project in which hundreds or thousands of people reside or work is a highly challenging task, calling for training, good judgment, variety of technical skills. Traditionally, however, emphasis in the real estate industry has been on the so permanent elements of the investment-good location, construction, and reasonable long-term financing-than on the day-to-day operation of the property. It has sometimes seemed as if a property owner, having made a very large investment in the permanent structure, assumed that the property would run itself with a minimum amount of supervision.
This concept of property management has changed substantially in the past decade. In an era of rising costs, it has dawned on owners that good property management is the major controllable influence on residual cash flow (i. e., the number of dollars that end up in the owner’s pocket). It is true that both rent rates and operating expenses are largely shaped by market forces beyond the control of any one property owner (witness the very sharp rise in energy costs in the 1970s). But it is also true that comparable properties within the same geographic area often show significant variances in rental income and operating costs. Why?
Close inspection often shows that “above-average” operating expenses and lower than average rent levels result from inadequate property management.
The classic mistake of the stock and bond investor moving into real estate involves underestimating the importance of management. Some investors have the feeling that real estate manages itself.
There is a story about the importance of property management. A San Francisco real estate broker recently noticed a project that was on the market for $1 million. He knew how the property had been managed in the past and that the million dollar valuation was based on a capitalization of historic income figure. He borrowed money to buy the property, renegotiated certain leases, and established more efficient operating procedures. In six months he sold the property for $1.4 million based on the capitalized value of the new, higher net income. His contribution was management expertise.

物业管理英语第二讲:
Properties Requiring Management
The level of management a property needs increases with the level of services
and with the frequency that tenants turn over. Some examples of ddifferent
managerial responsibilities and problems follow, organized by type of space.
To the extent that property management involves tenant relations, residential
properties present the greatest challenge. The space leased by the residential
tenant is “home”, where the tenant and other family members spend a substantial
amount of their free time and the rent for which may represent the tenant’s
largest single financial obligation. Consequently, the residential tenant
expects a well-run property, with services and utilities available as promised
at rents kept as low as possible (among other reasons, because residential
rentals are not tax deductible as are business rentals). On the other side
of the coin, one or two bad tenants in a project can be a continuing source
of vexation to the property manager and to the other tenants.
The relatively short term of a residential lease means that the property
manager is under continual pressure to maintain a high renewal rate in
order to avoid vacated units that must be repainted, repaired, and re-leased
in as short a time as possible. A property that is theoretically fully
rented may, nevertheless, lose a substantial amount of rental income if
turnover is very high and more than a few weeks elapse before each new
tenant moves in.
Among the types of residential properties are
(1) apartments,
(2) condominiums
and cooperatives, and (3) single-family homes.
The personal relationship between manger and tenant can be crucial to maintaining
high occupancy. Turnover of tenants results in higher operating expenses
and lower rentals collected. Asking fair rents and responding to tenants’
needs (e. g., maintenance and repairs) are often the most important variables
in successful apartment management.
The least involved homes. The owner may have moved rental of single-family
homes. The owner may have moved away for business or other reasons with
the intention of returning at a later date to occupy the house or may be
holding the property as an investments. In either case, the owner retains
a local agent to collect rent, pay real estate taxes and debt service,
and handle any problems that may arise. This type of management is frequently
performed by real estate brokers, who charge a fee equal to a percentage
of each month’s rent.
Useful Expressions
turn over 转变,转换,转作它用
to the (such an ) extent that到……程度,如此……以至于
move in 搬入(住宅);使(某人)搬进
respond to 回应,反应
be similar to 与……相似
deal with 处理
argue for 赞成
hold down 压低,控制
Notes:
1. ……with the level of services and with the frequency that tenants turn
over.
此句中,两个with引导两个伴随状语意为“随着”。
例如:
The air pressure varies with the height, and the water pressure, with
the depth.气压随着高度变化,水压随着深度变化。
2. by type of space 依据空间种类
3. …where the tenant and other family members spend a substantial amount
of their free time and the rent or which may represent the tenant’s largest
single financial obligation.
此句中,关系副词where引导一个非限定性的定语从句,修饰home一词。
而且在该从句中还含有一个定语从句,由关系代词which充当介词for的宾语,其先行词是rent,
该词由定语从句for which may represent the tenant’s largest single financial obligation修饰。
4. a well-run property 经营得好的物业
5. … with services and utilities available…在此短语中available作后置定语,意为“可以得到的服务设施”。
6. as low as possible 尽可能低
7. …because residential rentals are not tax deductible as are business
rentals…
在此句中,as 承接前面的句子,意为“像……一样”,as引导的从句主谓倒装。

8. on the other side of the coin 就另一方面而言

10. high occupancy 指房屋的出租率高。

物业管理英语第三讲:
Office Building Management
The property manager of an office building must be familiar with more complex
lease provisions than those used for residential properties. For example,
the office building tenant is very much aware of paying a rent rate measured
by the square foot, and so the measurement of space becomes an important
consideration. One frequently used measure is rentable area or rentable
space. The manager must understand how to compute it. For example, are
the bathrooms and hallways an added “load factor”, with the tenant paying
for
