Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Encouraging members to recommend resources taps into the collective expertise of your rental property community. When people share articles, tools, or guides that have helped them, it builds trust and a sense of belonging. This approach not only solves individual problems faster but also fosters a culture of generosity and shared learning.
Members are more likely to engage with content that directly benefits them or their peers. By prompting everyone to share and explain their favorite resources, you drive meaningful conversations and empower members to help each other. Over time, this strengthens community bonds and positions your platform as the go-to place for practical rental property insights.

To get the most out of these templates, post them regularly and at varied times to reach different members. Personalize your prompts with current topics or trending challenges in rental property management. Always encourage members to add a brief explanation of why their resource is helpful and, if possible, share a direct link. Consider pinning popular threads or collecting the best resources in a shared document for easy future reference.
These Recommend a Resource templates work across all platforms. For social groups, use images or polls to highlight top community picks. In forums, create a sticky thread for ongoing recommendations. For chat apps, use threads or channels dedicated to resource sharing. Always encourage clear explanations and easy-to-access links, no matter the format.
These templates are designed to prompt residents to share firsthand experiences with local service providers, such as plumbers or electricians who have successfully handled repairs in their units. To increase participation, tailor the template to ask for details like response time, pricing transparency, and resolution quality—key issues in rental property management. This helps other residents make informed choices while building trust within your community.
When using these templates to gather pet-related resource recommendations, include a reminder about the property's pet policies (e.g., breed restrictions, leash requirements). Encourage residents to mention if their recommended resource is respectful of property rules or offers services tailored to apartment dwellers, ensuring all suggestions comply with your community standards.
Absolutely! Customize the template to ask specifically if the recommended moving company has experience with your property's unique logistics, such as elevator scheduling, parking restrictions, and insurance requirements. This helps new tenants avoid common move-in hassles and ensures compliance with your building’s regulations.
Use the templates to request the date of last service and ask residents to note if the contact information is current. Periodically rotate or refresh recommend-a-resource posts, and consider pinning the most up-to-date threads. This practice ensures that only relevant, reliable contacts circulate—even in communities with frequent tenant turnover.
While community engagement is important, it’s wise to establish clear guidelines about self-promotion or recommendations that directly compete with property-sponsored vendors (e.g., in-house maintenance). Use the template to remind residents of these policies and encourage honest, unbiased reviews without disparagement, balancing transparency with your operational interests.
Customize the template to ask if the resource is knowledgeable about your property's amenity policies (e.g., rules for using shared spaces, disposal of cleaning waste). Encourage residents to highlight vendors who have experience working within your building’s guidelines, which minimizes risks of policy violations and ensures smooth service for all residents.
