Student housing turn management, without the chaos.
Plan budgets, coordinate vendors, track every unit, and protect chargebacks in one system built specifically for student turn, from pre-turn planning through post-turn reconciliation.
Illustrative customer outcomes shown above are based on specific operator experiences and may vary by portfolio, process, and adoption.
Drive revenue. Control costs.
Turn Manager isn't just software. It's a P&L lever, moving both sides of the equation, every turn season.
Put the revenue and cost levers into your own portfolio numbers.
See Turn Manager in ActionMore money in your pocket.
Turn Manager is more than a turnboard. Student housing turn is where operators make, or lose, real money on every unit. In turn season, you can't afford to make a mistake.
Every mistake hits the P&L.
- Vendor overcharges you can't push back on, because there's no documentation to prove otherwise
- Resident chargebacks disputed and written off when damage claims fall apart under scrutiny
- Overpaying vendors because there's no benchmark or in-house comparison
- Ancillary revenue lost: the fees you could have collected if damage were defensible
- Wrong move-out date → do the same turn twice, pay for it twice
- More properties = more headcount, not more margin
Revenue captured. Costs controlled.
- Vendor overcharges caught: $1MM in year-one recovery documented at one 7,500-unit operator
- Chargebacks stick: signed audit trail defends every dispute, resident and vendor
- Vendor pricing analysis flags 10–25% savings across vendors and internal resourcing (operator benchmark)
- Ancillary revenue defensible on every documented unit: fees you can actually collect
- Real-time transparency catches move-out conflicts before you pay for the do-over
- Historical data compounds YoY: grow the portfolio, keep the payroll flat

A year-round process. Not a summer event.
Quarterly inspections feed the budget. Pre-turn sequencing protects revenue. Post-turn data compounds into next season. Student turn never really ends, and neither does Turn Manager.
Plan with precision.
Sequence turn to protect leasing revenue. Compare every vendor quote before you commit. Use quarterly inspection data to plan ahead. Schedule the entire season from one board before keys change hands.
- Sequence pre-turn work to save revenue: units back on market faster, vendors deployed in the right order
- Ensure you're not overpaying: vendor pricing analysis flags overquotes and shows when in-house is cheaper
- Use quarterly inspection insights to plan your turn budget
- Prefilled vendor workflows and centralized contracts (no setup-fatigue at the start of season)
- Turn Board scheduling that aligns services, vendors, and deadlines
The season never really starts, because it never really ends.
Q1 inspections feed the turn budget. Spring sequencing locks vendors and pricing. Summer executes. Fall reconciles and the data carries into next year.

Built for the realities of student turn.
Conventional multifamily software wasn't designed for bed-level planning across hundreds of units in a 14-day window. Turn Manager was designed for exactly that, by people who've lived it.
Compare vendors and internal resourcing.
Compare vendor quotes against each other and against internal labor costs, service by service and unit by unit, before the work is assigned.
One operator reported 10–25% savingsCustomer-specific result. Actual savings vary.Real-time transparency manages risk.
One operator accidentally removed a resident's belongings because they had the wrong move-out date in their tracker. Then re-turned the unit, replaced the carpet twice, and explained it to the resident. Turn Manager surfaces these conflicts before the wrong action gets taken.
Avoid the costly do-overChargebacks that actually stick.
Signed scopes of work, QC sign-offs, and a documented chain of custody push chargebacks directly to the PMS via MIMO. No more disputed charges. No more writeoffs.
$1MM/yr recovered at 7,500 unitsCustomer-specific result. Actual recovery varies.Historical data, source of truth, one system.
Excel and whiteboards don't survive growth. Turn Manager stores historical data season over season. You're not starting from scratch every August. Process is mapped, knowledge stays put, and adding properties stops meaning adding people.

See Turn Manager in ActionThe biggest benefit comes year-round.
Turn Manager pays back on its own. Paired with Perform247 year-round, the value compounds: dynamic forms customize themselves per property, and quarterly inspection data lets you plan turn before turn season starts.
Each turn, customized to your property. Automatically.
No more rebuilding checklists for every property. No more "how do we turn at this building?" tribal knowledge. The process is mapped, the forms know what to ask, and adding a new property doesn't mean adding a new playbook.
- Property-specific specs handled automatically: no manual templating
- Easy to staff up because the process is documented in the platform, not in someone's head
- One change propagates everywhere; institutional knowledge actually compounds
Plan ahead. Don't react.
The hole in the door you documented in your Q2 inspection becomes a planned line item in your turn budget, not a Day 1 surprise. Use inspection data to separate the units that need extra TLC from the ones that are pristine.
- Get ahead of known damage (doors, carpets, fixtures): budget the work before season starts
- Set minimum order quantities on units with documented damage
- Identify pristine units vs. heavy-rehab units: scope and price each appropriately
