I didn’t set out to build a property management company. In fact, if we’re being honest, I’m not sure why anyone would. It’s an industry where the work is constant and the appreciation is rare. Owners expect more, residents expect more, and most days, you find...
My friend sent me a video message this week that absolutely broke my heart. She’s a fellow business owner who runs a property management company in another state. We met at a conference last year and instantly clicked. It was almost eerie how similar we were—same...
