A no-fluff weekly publication for the property management industry.

I sat down with PM Trends Report co-author Jordan Muela to discuss our biggest takeaways and surprises, now that the report has been out for about a month.

We go down some fun rabbit-holes and discuss some brand new topics that were not covered in the report itself or the live release broadcast. Personally, I had some interesting ideas bubble up after absorbing the initial findings late last year.

You can catch this on my podcast feed as well, if you’re more of an audio person (I get it).

By the way, I’m looking for an individual who is comfortable with large study/data sets and can help us tease out some more insights from the Harris Poll raw data that we got back from the 750+ respondent survey. Please reply to this email if you could make an introduction.

Live Process-Building Workshop

I’m doing a live process-building workshop with industry consultant Madeline Vinson!

We’ll build a brand new lease-renewal process in realtime for a lucky volunteer who wants to get this process documented, built out in workflow software, and even automated.

I’m going to show viewers how quickly and easily it is to get up and running with powerful process software in your property management business. This does not need to be a huge undertaking that drags on for months. I will show how to get it up and running FAST. I will explain all my thinking and decision-making rational along the way.

Sound like fun? Register here for the live event + recording.
