First Advantage SafeRent Releases Third Quarter 2008 Multifamily Applicant Risk Index
First Advantage SafeRent Logo
Rockville, MD. (Vocus) October 28, 2008
First Advantage SafeRent, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of First Advantage Corporation (NASDAQ: FADV) and the nation’s leading and most innovative provider of screening and risk management services for the multifamily industry, today announced the release of third quarter 2008 multifamily applicant risk statistics.
The Multifamily Applicant Risk Index (MAR Index) is based on traffic credit quality scores from First Advantage SafeRent’s statistical screening model and is updated quarterly to provide property owners and managers with a benchmark with which to compare their portfolio’s performance. With this unique applicant risk index, property managers and owners are able to compare their applicant credit quality trends with that of the average MAR Index trends. This comparison indicates whether their portfolio is performing above, below or at market levels with respect to attracting and securing applicants with higher credit quality and an increased likelihood of fulfilling their lease.
The third quarter national MAR Index, including studios, one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units (BR), was 104. This is a 4 point increase from the first quarter 2008, which confirms a trend of seeing higher MAR Index values during the traditionally high applicant traffic volume periods of the second and third quarters. Compared to the third quarter 2007, the MAR Index is up 1 point from the 2007 value of 103. When comparing applicants for one- versus two-bedroom units, the MAR Index is slightly higher for one-bedroom units at 105 compared to 104 for two-bedroom units in the third quarter (see Graph 1).
Regionally, the Northeast continues to have the highest MAR Index with a value of 115 while the Midwest has the lowest MAR Index with a value of 100 this quarter (see Table 1).
From a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) perspective, the three MSAs with the leading decreases in the MAR Index were Raleigh–Durham–Chapel Hill, NC; Charlotte–Gastonia–Rock Hill, NC-SC; and West Palm Beach–Boca Raton, FL with decreases of 3, 3, and 4 points respectively. The three MSAs with the leading increases in the MAR Index were chicago–Gary–Kenosha, IL-IN-WI; Nashville, TN; and Orlando, FL with increases of 3 points each (see Table 2).
Understanding the Multifamily Applicant Risk Index (MAR Index)
The MAR Index is published quarterly by First Advantage SafeRent. It provides trends of national and regional traffic credit quality scores whereby a lower index value indicates an applicant pool with a higher risk of not fulfilling lease obligations. A MAR Index value of 100 indicates that market conditions are equal to the national mean for the index’s base period of 2004. A MAR Index value greater than 100 indicates market conditions with reduced average risk of default relative to the index’s base period mean. A value less than 100 indicates market conditions with increased average risk of default relative to the index’s base period mean. The MAR Index is derived from First Advantage SafeRent’s Statistical Screening Model-the multifamily industry’s only screening model that is both empirically derived and statistically validated. First Advantage SafeRent’s Statistical Screening Model was developed from historical resident lease performance data to specifically evaluate the potential risk of a resident’s future lease performance. The model generates scores for each applicant indicating the relative risk of the applicant not fulfilling lease obligations. A lower score indicates a more risky applicant.
To receive the MAR Index data for your Metropolitan Statistical Area or for questions, contact First Advantage SafeRent at marketing@FADVSafeRent.com. Data is also available at the property and sub-market level from our Property Performance Analytics tool. For more information, visit http://www.FADVSafeRent.com/PPA.

Apartment Search Tips Offered by RMK Management Corporation
RMK Management Blog Portal
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 10, 2010
The Chicago-based apartment management firm, RMK Management Corporation, has launched a multi-faceted social networking campaign to help people in their apartment search. RMK realizes in the ever-changing and often complicated real estate market, finding a rental apartment can be daunting and hopes its new service will be of help.
“When you compare the way people searched for apartments a couple of years ago to the way they search for apartments today, the changes are tremendous. Social networking has changed the game,” said Diana Pittro, executive vice president of RMK Management. “People have endless sources for information, which can be overwhelming. We saw a void in terms of a complete source for rental information for consumers in their apartment search, and we are filling it.”
The property management social networking campaign includes Facebook pages, online apartment videos hosted on an RMK Management-branded YouTube channel, Google™ business listings for each of the rental properties, and photos and apartment floor plans showcased in a Flickr photostream. Also included in the rental social media program are a series of geographically-targeted apartment blogs, including blogs for Chicago neighborhoods like Streeterville and Uptown, as well as Chicago suburbs like Downers Grove, Oakbrook Terrace, Palatine, Schaumburg, Aurora, Naperville, Oswego, Round Lake and Waukegan. There are also neighborhood apartment blogs for Edina and Minneapolis, Minnesota. An online portal to each of these Minneapolis and Chicago apartment blogs exists at http://www.rmkcommunities.com. All of these online communication tools provide information and a means of communication for potential renters and current RMK Management residents.
According to Pittro, the Minneapolis and Chicago apartment blogs supply renters with tips for their apartment search, moving tips, and insight regarding apartment hunting, apartment decorating, and apartment living, as well community-specific news for RMK Management’s renters. “By offering our insights on things like tips for apartment hunting and moving tips, we’ve become an apartment search resource for people and we’ve found that people are very receptive to the rental information we’re supplying,” she added.
YouTube and Flickr provide apartment videos, floor plans, and images of each of RMK Management’s rental communities. “This allows potential renters to get a sneak peek at each apartment complex before they come to tour in person,” she said.
“In our business, communication is key, and I think ultimately that is why social networking is working for us. People can find everything they need online. They can search for tips for finding an apartment and moving tips at their convenience,” Pittro said. “Plus, social networking creates a two-way street. We’re able to have a conversation with our renters and prospects, sharing ideas and answering questions through Facebook and our apartment blogs,” Pittro added. “But, our opportunities for face-to-face contact are still what matters most. Keeping that human touch is critical.”
