KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You have to look at everything from the investor’s mindset. That means utilizing leverage, liquidity and control.
- Start with the “Why?”. If you have reasons and clarity they will reap rewards.
- When you’re managing a property you need to be in constant contact with the management company. Weekly calls and “pulse” emails containing KPIs.
- Every property should have its own management budget.
- What are your core values? Use these when hiring staff, using vendors and working with partners.
- You need to know the market. Know the expenses, taxes and operating costs.Â
- Speak with community bankers and property managers to learn about the market and gain knowledge on the market and costs.
- It’s a “people business”. Tenants leave due to bad customer service and bad landlords… not rent increases.
- Turn into that fear and head into it, despite having it.
- Challenge your limiting beliefs.
