Red, Yellow, Green: Building a Property Health Score, Fast

A visual framework for portfolio optimization, built for today’s multifamily asset teams.

By The Rentana Team

In multifamily real estate, you can’t optimize what you can’t see. Yet most owners and asset managers still lack a real time, portfolio wide view of performance risk. Issues get flagged too late. Leasing teams chase the wrong problems. And decisions lag because the data isn’t aligned with daily action.

That’s why Rentana built the Property Health Score: a dynamic, color coded system for multifamily revenue intelligence that gives every stakeholder an instant read on what’s working, what needs watching, and what needs fixing. In today’s market, visibility isn't nice to have. It’s the only way to prioritize limited time, talent, and capital.

Real Time Visibility Drives Real Time Decisions

Red, yellow, green: it's a universal language for risk. But when it’s backed by property intelligence, it becomes a powerful operating system for your teams.

With Rentana’s Property Health Score, decisions that used to take hours of analysis and meetings now happen in seconds. If a property slips into red due to a surge in lease expirations, the system surfaces it instantly. No spreadsheets. No gut checks. Just clarity.

And that clarity drives speed: Villa Serena Communities now saves over 9 hours per week on manual data gathering and reporting for pricing review. Time they now spend executing, not analyzing.

“Rentana truly helps optimize our operations without added complexity. The user-friendly interface makes tracking our pricing trends and public market data effortless, allowing for quick, data driven decisions that enable us to reach our business goals.”

- Jason Strauss, Director of Operations at Villa Serena Communities

Where to Focus: Red, Yellow, Green

When everything is urgent, nothing gets done. Rentana’s health score framework transforms property management noise into a clear triage board:

‍

• Red: Immediate attention. Rising vacancy, missed pricing targets, renewal fall off.‍
• Yellow: Emerging issues. Slowing leads, increased concessions, low pricing confidence.
• Green: Stable performers. Monitor, but don’t over manage.

‍
This approach empowers you to focus leasing efforts, marketing spend, and leadership attention exactly where they’ll drive the greatest impact. No more one-size-fits-all strategies, just targeted, data-informed action.

And because performance scoring updates in real time, you’re not just reacting to issues after the fact…you’re anticipating them before they cost you.

What Powers a Property Health Score?

At Rentana, our scoring system is tailored to your multifamily revenue management strategy. Here’s what most high performing operators include:

‍

• Occupancy Trends: Where are we outperforming or underdelivering?
• Renewal Velocity: Are tenants staying, and why not?
• Lead Funnel Health: Are prospects converting efficiently?
• Specials and Concessions: Are discounts masking performance gaps?
  
  

Proactive > Reactive

Taking initiative isn’t just smart, it saves money. Each day a unit remains unoccupied chips away at your profitability. For instance, in a 250 unit property with rents at $2,000, just one month of vacancies can drain up to $500,000 in projected annual NOI. When scaled across multiple assets, these losses quickly snowball.

Industry norms already factor in 5–6% for vacancy and credit losses, highlighting how even short delays in leasing or rent adjustments can significantly affect financial performance. Common issues like lagging renewal outreach or slow listing turnaround are major contributors.

Proactive practices such as early renewals and pre-leasing can break this cycle. That’s exactly what Rentana empowers teams to do. Instead of constantly reacting, Rentana gives you timely insights that help you address issues at the source, before they escalate into costly problems.

From Property Intelligence to Strategic Action

A good health score doesn’t just display problems, it helps you treat them. Whether it’s a dip in occupancy or a spike in lease expirations, Rentana connects the dots across your property management data to provide clear next steps.

‍

"The first time our customers use the Rentana dashboard, there’s this moment of clarity, they can instantly see what matters most. It’s not just data, it’s direction. That level of visibility reshapes how teams operate day to day."

- Trisha Brundrett, Head of Customer Success, Rentana
