Every good business owner knows that the work doesn’t stop once you hire a property manager. Effectively managing your manager is key and making sure that everything goes as planned can save you a ton of money, time, and headaches.

In this minisode, Liz and Andresa discuss best practices in dealing with property managers. 

Liz emphasizes the importance of having clear, constant, and open conversations with your management company. This will help to ensure that you're both on the same page and understand each other's expectations. She also shares considerations when it comes to KPIs, rent collection, and how you can work together with your manager in adding more value to your property. 

Whether you’re on the lookout to hire a property manager or currently employing one, this minisode is for you!

• “You have to gauge the size of the building and where the asset is in getting turned around. Obviously, the more turnaround it is, the more conversation.  The more maintenance mode, less conversations, right? You're just maintaining what you have.” (5:25-5:28)
