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

Long-Form Written PM Content

I’ve been really excited to see some new long-form written content (what we used to call “blogging”) from around the property management industry lately. I’m defining “long-form” as anything more than a couple paragraphs on a subject which the author has first-hand knowledge of.

The startup world has always had a culture of writing and there’s no reason we can’t do the same in property management. It makes no sense for all of us to reinvent the wheel each time we come up against a challenge in our business. Let’s write down what we’re up to, what works, what doesn’t work, and move forward together faster, as a group!

I’ve been writing articles on my blog for many years now, even before starting this newsletter. Here’s some more writing that has caught my eye recently:

Deadline to Submit Your PM Acquisition/Sale Details

I’ve received around 25 submissions from property management company owners willing to share the details of their purchase or sale of a PM book of business (or entire company).

There’s enough data now to draw some pretty clear conclusions about the current valuations we’re seeing in the market for property management companies.

If you haven’t yet submitted your recent deal (last 2-3 years), I’ve set a deadline of March 25th. Anyone who gets their data in by then will receive a copy of the initial report for free.

I started putting together my initial findings and there are already some really surprising results. I’m really excited to finish this and make it available to the industry. I’m planning to release updates every 3 to 6 months, depending on deal submission volume. All submissions are confidential and “for my eyes only.” The report will only have aggregated data. -Peter
