AAOA’s First Hybrid Rental Housing Conference Features “Squatter Hunter” Flash Shelton and LiftMaster’s Smart Access Control Solutions to Help Apartment Owners Keep their Rentals Secure
Nationwide & Long Beach, CA – October 16, 2024 – The American Apartment Owners Association (AAOA) is proud to host its first-ever hybrid Rental Housing Conference on October 16, bringing together thousands of attendees through both in-person and livestream options.
This one-day event is specifically tailored for DIY landlords, real estate investors, realtors/brokers, and property managers seeking the latest insights and tools to manage their properties more effectively and is FREE for AAOA paid members.
Squatter Hunter to Provide Squatter Removal & Prevention Tips
One of the conference’s most anticipated sessions features Flash Shelton, also known as the “Squatter Hunter.” Flash, a national expert on legally removing squatters and protecting properties, will be sharing his expert tips on preventing squatting and keeping rental properties secure. Soon launching his own TV show, Flash will also offer attendees the opportunity to be cast in his series, providing landlords with direct access to his expertise.
Innovative Security Solutions from LiftMaster
This year’s Diamond Sponsor, LiftMaster (powered by myQ), will demonstrate their advanced myQ Community platform, which plays a crucial role in protecting rental properties—especially from the threats Flash Shelton addresses.
With myQ Community, landlords can eliminate physical keys, specifically track who is entering each door, and manage access points from a single dashboard. Their smart video intercom helps landlords grant access remotely and monitor all visitors from anywhere, giving them unmatched visibility over their properties.
Landlords that use smart access control can see an increase in ROI. LiftMaster estimates up to a $600 annual rent increase per unit thanks to increased security. Plus, 80% of the cost of a video intercom is tax deductible the year it purchased.
“We’re thrilled to partner with LiftMaster to bring this smart technology to landlords and property managers, especially for smaller owners who have never had this level of access control and security available,” said Alexandra Alvarado, Director of Education at AAOA.
As part of their sponsorship, LiftMaster is hosting a giveaway for a free CAPXS smart video intercom device (pictured) with a 3-month subscription to the myQ Community platform.
