Making rent flexible: How Sage Ventures streamlined operations with Flex

Sage Ventures, overseeing more than 4,000 units across Maryland, tackled this challenge by implementing flexible payments. After noticing a spike in delinquency rates and receiving numerous resident requests for more payment options, Sage trialed flexible payments in two communities. The success was immediate, with rapid adoption across their portfolio, including Class A assets.

Flex reduces the burden on our operations team. Our assistant managers are now saving about 5 hours each month — time that was previously spent in persistent follow-ups with residents for rent collection. Adopting Flex has been instrumental in optimizing our business and resident experiences.
