• Avoid These Costly Mistakes When Growing Your Property Management Business - with Mike Goldstein

    The real estate industry often celebrates size—door count, revenue, market share—but what if success looked different? What if it meant building a boutique management company that prioritizes quality over quantity and allows you to design the life you actually want?

    Mike Goldstein, founder of HubKey Real Estate in downtown Philadelphia, joins us to share his refreshingly contrarian approach to property management. Having grown up in his grandmother's motel business before purchasing his first investment property in 2008, Mike brings a unique perspective as someone who entered property management after being both an investor and real estate agent.

    Managing 110 doors focused exclusively on A, B, and C neighborhoods within a two-mile radius of Philadelphia's city center, Mike candidly discusses the painful lessons learned from what he calls "over-software-ication"—attempting to solve fundamental business problems with technology before establishing clear policies and procedures. "I essentially built a roof before I had a foundation," he reveals, detailing the challenging but necessary process of stripping away complicated solutions to properly document the critical thinking required in property management.

    Perhaps most compelling is Mike's ultimate vision: becoming "irrelevant" in his own company within five years. While many chase door count as the primary measure of success, he poses a different question: "Would you rather manage 1,000 doors working 80 hours a week or 100 doors working 10 hours?" This philosophy has shaped everything from his hiring decisions to his innovative approach to realtor referrals, which generate 90% of his business.

    Whether you're just starting in property management or looking to refocus an established business, this conversation offers practical insights on building systems that scale, creating processes that allow for critical thinking, and designing a company that serves your life rather than consuming it. The path to freedom isn't always about getting bigger—sometimes it's about getting better.

  • How to Stand Out in a Crowded Market and Attract Clients – Sean Moudry
    2025/03/24

    Send us a text

    Imagine taking the chaos of running a property management or real estate business and transforming it into a laser-focused operation that practically prints money. That's exactly what Sean Moudry, bestselling author and one of the top real estate coaches in the industry, unpacks in this riveting conversation.

    Sean's journey from selling 72 homes in his first year at age 21 to building multiple successful businesses offers a masterclass in strategic specialization. "When it comes to marketing and attention, it's like a laser," Sean explains. "If I'm shining my light with a wide beam, I might light a room up, but if I narrow that beam super tight, I can burn a hole through something." This principle of niche marketing becomes the cornerstone of sustainable success in any real estate venture.

    What makes this episode particularly valuable is Sean's unflinching honesty about both his triumphs and failures. After achieving mega-agent status for over 15 years and becoming a top 10 team leader at Keller Williams nationwide, Sean left to start his own brokerage with an innovative coaching model. While the venture ultimately didn't scale as planned, the lessons he learned about systemization versus personality-driven business are pure gold for anyone building a company.

    You'll discover practical strategies like the "Financial Freedom in Five Years" program that property managers can implement immediately to connect with realtors and investors, creating steady streams of business while establishing themselves as the obvious experts in their field. Sean also shares his current approach to social media marketing, focusing on views rather than engagement metrics, which removes ego from the equation and forces continuous improvement.

    Ready to transform your property management business from a scattered operation trying to please everyone into a focused powerhouse that dominates its niche? Listen now, and then join us in implementing these strategies to build the business you've always wanted.

    Cody Reeder shares his journey from real estate investor with four duplexes to managing over 900 properties while building a separate maintenance company and maintaining his passion for ultra-running. He reveals how initially trying to survive on management fees alone wasn't sustainable until he discovered additional revenue streams that made the business truly profitable.

    • Started in ad sales before transitioning to real estate investing in the early 2000s

    • Grew personal investment portfolio to over 200 units including two 45-plexes
    • Transitioned to third-party management out of necessity when tenants left his commercial building
    • Now manages approximately 700 third-party units with a team of 13, including 5 remote employees
    • Created a separate maintenance company called Service Depot that generates significant revenue
    • Grew business primarily through education rather than traditional marketing
    • Became a CE instructor teaching real estate agents about investor mindset
    • Employs multiple family members while maintaining clear performance expectations
    • Draws parallels between property management challenges and ultra-running endurance

    If you're going to be successful in property management, you need to look beyond just management fees and find additional revenue streams while positioning yourself as an expert in your field.
