Remove -1 Value from RentCafe Data Feed
Overview
This document tells us how to adjust your floor plan settings in the RentCafe Site Manager so that they don’t publish -1 values for your rent prices.
In most cases, the -1 value is coming through because there are no units set to a floor plan, or the configuration is set to use only Available Units.
Fix #1
One way to fix this is to:
- Visit your RentCafe Site Manager
- Click into Content & Settings > Floor Plans in the left-hand navigation panel
- Click into Apartments tab in the right-hand panel ( see screenshot below )
- Set the Displaying Apartments That Are dropdown value to a value that actually outputs units in the table
Fix #2
The second way to fix is to:
- Visit your RentCafe Site Manager
- Click into Content & Settings > Settings in the left-hand navigation panel
- In the right-hand panel, expand the Pricing Settings accordion option
- For the For Fully Occupied Floor Plans Display value, you can set the value to be
- Call for Details (yields -1 if no units )
- Actual Rent Range (recommended – returns rent range even if no available units are found)
- Revenue Management Floor Plan Pricing (uncommon)
After you have attempted each of these fixes and you still are getting -1 values for your floor plans, please contact Yardi/RentCafe directly to discuss with them what might be the issue
