Troy's Wish List

The features that would make the Landmark Admin not just an AppFolio replacement, but something no competitor has. The three at the top are Troy's stated priorities; the rest are moonshot ideas to put in front of Robert & Parth.

Troy's Top Six

These are the headline asks — the features Troy most wants the system to deliver.
1

Instant triple-net (NNN) reconciliations

AI reads every commercial lease — pro-rata share, caps, base years, exclusions, gross-ups — and recalculates CAM, tax, and insurance reconciliations in real time. No more annual spreadsheet scramble; recs are always current and auditable, and tenant true-up statements generate with one click.

2

An SEO-friendly marketing site for every property & owner

A public, search-optimized marketing site for each individual property — built to rank, drive leads, and fill vacancies. Owners with multiple properties get them all rolled up onto one site under their name, so their whole portfolio surfaces together. It doubles as a premium, high-touch owner product no competitor offers — and a retention moat.

3

An asset-management dashboard for every property

The system runs Troy's valuation model and a full cash-flow analysis on each property continuously — current value, equity, cap rate, cash-on-cash, DSCR, NOI trend — so every owner always sees what their asset is worth and how it's performing. Property management becomes asset management.

4

A voice & natural-language search bar — ask the system anything

One search bar at the top of the Admin where Troy can type or speak any question and get an instant answer from live data — "Which owners had negative cash flow this quarter?", "Show me every lease expiring in Q3 under market rent," "What's the value of the Henderson portfolio?" No report builder, no menus — just ask, by voice or text, and the system answers.

5

24-hour turnover & 24-hour deposit return

Move a tenant out, clean the unit, and move the next tenant in within 24 hours — orchestrated by the system. The move-out inspection auto-dispatches cleaning and any maintenance, the unit is re-listed and matched to a waiting applicant, and the next lease is ready to sign. In parallel, the deposit reconciliation runs the instant the inspection is logged, so the prior tenant's deposit is settled and returned within 24 hours — a standard no competitor comes close to.

6

Owner benchmarking — you vs. the portfolio, the market & the nation

On the owner / asset-management dashboard, every owner sees their rents and expenses side by side with three benchmarks: the Landmark portfolio, the greater local market (CoStar / Apartments.com comps), and national norms. Instantly shows where they stand — "your rents run 8% below comparable units" or "your maintenance spend is in the top quartile" — turning the dashboard into a coaching tool that surfaces upside and justifies Landmark's recommendations.

Asset Management — A New Revenue Product

Asset management is the upsell — and the Admin should be built to power it.

A dedicated Asset Management service line (business plan, April 2026; target launch July 1, 2026) that sits one layer above property management: strategy, capital allocation, returns, risk, and coordination with the owner's CPA, attorney, and advisor. It's billed as an additional fee on top of the property-management fee — roughly +1% of gross revenue — so the same owner relationship generates a second recurring revenue stream.

Year-1 target: $180K from 4–6 portfolio clients · Year-3 target: $750K at 40%+ margin. The Admin is the platform that makes delivering it at scale possible — productizing what a family office charges six figures for.

TierPortfolio sizeAM feeBundled PM+AMAnnual minimum
Essentials$5M–$15M · 50–125 units1.25%5.50% blended$24,000

Institutional$35M+ · 300+ units0.75%5.00% blended$90,000

Fee is % of gross collected revenue (not AUM), in addition to property management. Plus: acquisition advisory 0.50–1.00% of price · disposition via Muljat Commercial (10% discount after 24 mo under AM) · refinance oversight 0.25% of proceeds (cap $15K) · capital-project oversight 5% on projects over $100K.

What the Admin should power — the 9-part scope

★ The flagship asset-management feature — Hold / sell / 1031 advisor

When an owner's equity, IRR, or local market hits a threshold, the system proactively models a sale, refinance, or 1031 exchange and surfaces the recommendation — the quantitative backbone of the annual strategic plan, delivered continuously instead of once a year. This is what turns Landmark from the owner's manager into the owner's wealth advisor, and it's the clearest justification for the asset-management fee.

Moonshot Ideas — For Robert & Parth

Bigger swings worth considering. Most are uniquely possible because Landmark owns the platform and the AI layer — they'd be impossible to bolt onto AppFolio. Grouped by where they create value.

Owner-facing magic

Auto-BOV on every property, every month

Troy's valuation tool runs automatically across all 833 properties on a schedule, so every owner always has a current Broker Opinion of Value and equity position. PM data quietly becomes a disposition, refinance, and 1031 pipeline.

AI-narrated owner reports

The monthly statement explains itself in plain English — or a 60-second AI video: "Your NOI dipped 4% because two units turned; both are re-leased above asking, so next month rebounds." Owners actually understand their reports for the first time.

Owner concierge AI

Every owner can ask their own AI anything — "Why was my distribution lower this month?", "Should I renew the Henderson lease?" — answered instantly from their real data, in Landmark's voice.

Money & accounting magic

Predictive delinquency radar

AI scores every tenant weekly for missed-rent risk using payment history, work-order signals, and communication patterns — so PMs intervene days before a tenant falls behind, not after.

AI renewal & vacancy pricing

Per-unit optimal rent from live CoStar / Apartments.com comps plus Landmark's own rent roll. The system recommends the renewal rent, shows the vacancy-loss cost of holding out, and sends the offer in one click.

Cash-flow forecasting per owner

Forward-looking, not just historical: project each owner's next 12 months of cash flow, flag the months that go negative, and recommend reserve top-ups before they're needed.

Predictive capex & building-systems planner

From roof, HVAC, and water-heater age plus service history, forecast the 5-year capital plan per property and auto-fund reserves — so no owner is ever surprised by a $40K roof.

AI operations magic

Photo-to-work-order maintenance AI

A tenant snaps a photo of the leak; AI diagnoses the issue, estimates the cost, picks the right vendor, drafts the work order, and bills it back to the owner — all before a human looks at it.

Lilly, end to end

The AI receptionist goes outbound too — rent reminders, renewal calls, vendor scheduling, delinquency follow-up — handling the 5,000–10,000 monthly calls that bottleneck the front desk today.

Compliance autopilot

Auto-generates and serves notices (3-day, lease violation, entry), tracks Washington and local law changes, and keeps every property continuously compliant without a human watching the calendar.

Growth engine

Owner-acquisition flywheel

AI scans public records for absentee or underperforming owners in Landmark's markets, auto-generates a BOV and a tailored pitch, and feeds the business-development pipeline — the system grows the company while it runs it.

Auto-listing + virtual staging

AI writes the listing copy, virtually stages the photos, syndicates everywhere, and A/B-tests headlines and price — cutting days-on-market with zero marketing labor.

Investor deal room

Owners see new acquisition opportunities Landmark sources, with underwriting pre-run on Troy's model — opening the door to syndication and turning owners into repeat buyers.

Why these are realistic for Landmark specifically: Landmark already has the three ingredients most PM companies lack — a live AI layer (Lilly + 195 agents), an owned platform with full data access, and Troy's valuation & cash-flow models. The wish list is mostly about pointing those assets at owner value and growth, not net-new infrastructure.
