BK Management History

info • January 23, 2020
 We found it fitting that our first post would be based on the history of how BK Management was founded. 

The idea of BK started in 2001 when a few friends got together and decided they wanted to try their hand at investing in student housing. Buying an entire apartment complex was a huge stretch for a new business just starting out, so they decided to purchase a few single family homes instead to get a feel for the industry. Over the next few years, more houses were purchased and they realized hiring staff was a necessity. Our first maintenance worker was brought on (and is still with us today) followed soon by an office manager. With everything up and running, they were able to start managing rentals for family and friends alongside their own. Their portfolio of properties was rapidly increasing for both campus and non-campus locations. 

As time went on, more employees were hired, departments were formed and we continued to take on new properties from various owners. We now have a few hundred units on Purdue’s campus and extend to surrounding towns as far as Crawfordsville, Brook, Hoopeston, IL and many more.

Our offices have went through some changes as well. We first started off with one office in West Lafayette and now have a staffed location in Crawfordsville as well as a separate office for our maintenance and accounting. The original West Lafayette location is going to be remodeled within the coming months to better accommodate our growing staff as well as our tenants. 

The growth of BK Management will not be stunted anytime soon. We are continuing to take on new properties whether they be our own or other owners that we will manage. We are frequently expanding into new communities and continuously hiring staff to support the changes. 

Year by year it is incredibly rewarding to see the progress that is being made and forming our company into what it is now. As a team, we work very hard to ensure our tenants and owners have the best experience possible with their rentals. Everyone’s support is greatly appreciated during this time and we are excited to come up with new ways to better serve you in the future!

How To Prepare Your House For Showings
By info May 11, 2021
Getting ready to move? We totally understand that showing your unit to prospective tenants can be an inconvenience. We want to provide you with some ways that can help speed up the process so hopefully we do not have to show it as many times! When signing a lease with us, you agree to giving us a notice if you plan to renew or not. In the case that you decide you aren’t staying, your unit gets listed on our website immediately for future renters to see and showings will commence. If we are showing a unit that is well taken care of and inviting, prospects are more willing to rent that because it feels like home. On the contrary, if we are taking them into a messy unit with less than happy tenants meeting us at the door, this usually turns them away immediately which means we will have to show it more often to get it leased. Below is a list of things you can do to help us get your unit rented: All clutter is picked up Garbage is taken out Floors are swept, mopped, vacuumed, etc. Dishes are done and put away Bathrooms are in sanitary condition Bedrooms are picked up Laundry piles are put away All outside areas are cleaned up and yard is taken care of We enjoy our tenants and hope that you stay with us, however we do understand that circumstances do change and we would like to make the transition as smooth and possible!
