Process Webinar - Recording Now Available

Thank you to everyone who participated in the free process webinar I hosted last week, "Where to Start Automating in 2023". The recording is now available for free right here!

Thank you to LeadSimple for running the show and making it easy for me to do events like this. And special thanks to Wolfgang Croskey for co-hosting with me! Bonus points to anyone who can identify the intro music before we give it away (this was all Wolf's idea).

New Blog Post - Disentangling Operations (from Customer Service)

I just published an article describing a fundamentally new approach to customer service for property management companies. We plan to fully roll out this new model at our property management company in 2023.

Here's a preview:

More VC M&A Activity In Property Management

Recently I learned about a bunch of new activity among the venture-backed property management companies:

Darwin sold to Pagaya
Nestegg sold to Truehold
Knox Financial sold to Doorstead (I wrote about this last week).

I maintain a running list of all the VC-backed property management companies (not PM software firms - companies that are physically managing properties). This list has been updated. Do you know of any that I missed?

There are a bunch of additional PE-backed companies but public data is hard to come by and so for now, this list excludes them.

In case you think Uncle Sam is your friend...it’s important to remember the dark side of depreciation...recapture tax

Do you want to work with me? For years I dreamed of finding a way to share everything we learned about scaling a property management company from 0 to 700 units - and now I’m actually doing it. Learn more.
