In this episode of Uncontested Investing, we continue our “Building Out Your Team” series by diving into one of the most crucial roles for any investor: the property manager. We explore why property managers are the boots on the ground and the true extension of the investor, and how hiring the wrong one can derail your portfolio quickly. From maximizing cash flow and tenant retention to protecting your long-term property value, the right property manager can make or break your strategy.

“The property manager is an extension of you as an investor. They handle what you can’t, so you can focus on growth.”

“Transparency is non-negotiable. If they’re closed off in the first meeting, that’s a red flag.”

“Don’t just hand your property over and forget it. Set expectations, review reports, and stay engaged.”
