What would shift if you finally stopped playing small and owned your worth, especially when it comes to money?In property management, it's easy to slip into hustle mode. To feel like you have to compete on price, chase clients who don't value you, and hold back from raising your fees or starting your dream business because it doesn't feel realistic.But what if the problem isn't the industry but your mindset?In this episode, I chat with Denise Duffield-Thomas, who is a best-selling author and money mindset mentor for the new wave of online entrepreneurs who want to make money and change the world. She helps entrepreneurs like you charge premium prices, release the fear of money, and create first-class lives. We talk about the unconscious blocks that hold women back from charging what they're worth, why so many property managers undercharge even when they deliver incredible value, and how to shift your energy so you can attract aligned clients and the life you actually want.Denise doesn't just talk theory; she shares personal stories, mindset shifts, and simple, actionable tools that you can use to move through fear and self-doubt. ” The first big block that a lot of people have to start to unravel is this idea that you have to work really hard to make money, and I think that is really true about the property industry and anyone who works. Property management can be a hustling culture, right? There's this idea that you have to hustle and work harder than the next person to succeed and sure, that might be true in some parts of the industry. But we each have our own personal relationship with work and money, and that mindset isn't always serving us.“ - Denise Duffield-Thomas We explore:The 3 most common money blocks that show up in business and how to identify yoursWhy do we tie our worth to how hard we work, and how to break free from that patternWhat stops property managers from charging more, and how to shift itHow to stop discounting your fees and start standing in your valueThe mindset shift that helped Denise manifest her dream homeWhy decluttering is one of the most powerful manifesting toolsHow to get the right energy to attract new clients, opportunities, and incomeSimple rituals) to calm your nervous system and reset your mindsetHow to surround yourself with possibility and stop playing smallKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/ Sensor Global:

What if the reason your business isn't growing has nothing to do with your systems or your skills and everything to do with how you see yourself?In property management, we're experts at holding it all together. Juggling the inspections, the emails, the team questions, the urgent calls. We're flat out keeping the wheels turning. But somewhere along the way, we start to shrink. We default to ‘doing mode' and forget how to lead with purpose, confidence, and presence.We tell ourselves we need more time, better templates, or the right hire for team, but what if the real work starts with stepping up and being seen?Leadership isn't about being louder. It's about being truer. And sometimes the scariest thing isn't failing, it's showing up as who we really are.

Struggling to turn followers into clients? Your shortcut to smarter marketing. Learn how to blend organic content and paid ads into one powerful strategy that builds trust and gets results.We dive into why organic content, like social media posts, behind-the-scenes videos, and client testimonials, is your secret weapon for building credibility and long-term relationships. It's all about showing up consistently, offering value, and letting people get to know the real you and what your business stands for. Of course, organic alone won't always bring in the leads you want, especially when you're trying to scale. That's where paid ads come into play. This episode walks you through using Facebook lead ads the smart way, so you're not just throwing money at boosted posts and hoping for the best.You'll also learn how to make these two strategies work together instead of in silos. For example, using organic content to build familiarity and trust, then using paid ads to retarget those warm leads with a compelling offer, like a free consultation or property assessment. This creates what's known as funnel synergy, where people are nurtured by your content and guided naturally toward taking the next step.If you've ever felt like your marketing is hit-or-miss, or you're stuck trying to post on social media and learn ads on your own, this episode will give you clarity. You'll get a practical, step-by-step look at how to show up online in a way that's sustainable, strategic, and effective. “Visibility, trust, and persistence are the keys to growing your business, and when you show up everywhere, your clients will start to notice, I promise you that”- Kylie WalkerWe explore:Comparison of organic content and paid advertising in property managementImportance of a holistic marketing approachRole of organic content in building trust and authorityBenefits of paid ads for immediate visibility and lead generationSynergy between organic content and paid ads in marketing strategiesActionable tips for implementing effective marketing strategiesImportance of consistency in posting organic contentUse of retargeting ads to engage potential clientsStrategies for testing and refining marketing effortsServices offered for managing social media marketing and lead generationConnect with Done For You ServicesDone For You Services - https://dfys.com.au/Find out about our Done For You Social Media Management - https://dfys.mykajabi.com/done-for-you-smFind out about our Done for You Lead Generation - https://dfys.mykajabi.com/done-for-you-lead-generationConnect with Done For You Services: https://www.instagram.com/doneforyouservices_/Kylie's ResourcesProperty Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchoolDigital Marketing School: https:
Growth - It's the one word on every property management business owner's lips right now but also the one thing that feels harder than ever to achieve. Whether it's privacy laws, limited building activity, or just the competition out there, growing a rent roll today is tough.Growth isn't just about more properties; it's about smart decisions, financial strategy, and knowing when and how to invest in your business. Buying a rent roll can be an incredible growth strategy but only if your current business is strong and your systems are ready to scale. If you don't have a plan to keep and replace the properties you lose, growing your rent roll can end up costing you more than it makes.Don't wait until you need to grow. Get your business in order now! Whether that's cleaning up your books, revisiting your team structure, or building better relationships.

From cash flow strategies to retention tips and acquisition readiness, this is a masterclass in building a sustainable and scalable rent roll.“ You have to remember that 10% of your managements are getting lost every year. Through sales, through mismanagement, through people moving back in, it's around that 10% mark. And if you don't have a plan to replenish that, the bigger you get, the more you need to replenish. So at a thousand managements, you need to find 100 managements every year” - Steven MarinucciWe explore:Why so many property management businesses are struggling to grow right nowWhy you keep losing managements each year and what you need to do to replace themThe biggest mistake people make when buying a rent roll and how to avoid itWhy organic growth is critical before you ever consider an acquisitionWhy property management only businesses struggle to scale and what to do insteadHow location, profitability, and proximity impact your rent roll's valueWhat banks really look at when approving finance for a rent roll purchase How to clean up your P&L and financials to prepare for a future opportunity The biggest red flags that slow down or block financing altogetherHow to run a leaner business by rethinking staffing, software, and outsourcingReal tips for making money with a 300 property rent roll without overspendingWhy you need to get your finances sorted before the perfect rent roll comes up for saleKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses:

What if growing your rent roll wasn't about more doors but about smarter numbers?Many property management business owners get caught in the growth trap chasing more properties without realising that profit per property is the true measure of success. If you're serious about building a sustainable, sellable, and profitable rent roll, understanding and improving your AAMI (Average Annual Management Income) is non negotiable - AAMI is one of the most important metrics every business owner should be tracking.If you've ever focused more on “how many properties” you manage instead of how profitable each one is, this episode is going to be a game changer!We chat with Aaron Emery who is a property management strategist and business consultant with nearly two decades of hands-on experience in the real estate industry. He works closely with agencies to improve operational efficiency, profitability, and team performance delivering tailored solutions through operational audits, rent roll due diligence, and growth focused business planning. Aaron specialises in uncovering new revenue opportunities, cutting unnecessary costs, and supporting agency owners through expansion, diversification, and performance improvement. Aaron breaks down AAMI in simple terms what it means, how it impacts the value of your business, and the practical ways to improve it, especially if you're thinking about selling your rent roll. From setting smarter fees to tightening up your systems and charging for the services you're already providing, this conversation is packed with real world examples you can start implementing.“ Always go in as high as you possibly can in your marketplace with your management fees. It stands to reason. If you have a combination of low management fees and lower rents, well then your double a MI is not going to be very high. So the two main focus areas should be a decent management fee. I always like to aim for around that 7%. But of course that's going to determine where you are in Australia and what your average might be for the area. But just aim to always get the absolute highest management fee that you can get” -Aaron EmeryWe explore:What AAMI (Average Annual Management Income) actually is and why it matters for your businessHow to calculate AAMI in your own business The difference between management revenue and auxiliary fees and how both affect rent roll valueSmart strategies to increase AAMI without adding more doorsCommon income leaks in rent rolls and how to fix themWhy auditing your rent roll regularly can dramatically increase profit and prevent lossAaron's top auxiliary fees to add (and what agencies are currently charging across Australia)What buyers look for when assessing your rent roll and how to prepare in advanceHow Aaron's free AAMI calculator can help you track your income potential right nowKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership:...
Discover how to turn Facebook ads into a powerful engine for brand visibility, lead generation, and long-term business growth. Whether you've dabbled in ads before or written them off as a waste of money, this episode offers a fresh perspective backed by real-world results from a million-dollar real estate brand.The discussion kicks off by tackling the common frustration many property professionals face—spending money on Facebook ads with little to show for it. The truth? It's not the platform that's failing; it's the strategy. Learn how Facebook ads, when done right, can be used to build brand recognition, grow your database, and attract high-quality leads.With a focus on Facebook's powerful targeting tools, the episode explores how to reach the right audience based on age, location, interests, and life events. This allows your message to be delivered to people who are already likely to need your services, helping your brand stay top of mind until they're ready to take action. Listeners are also warned about common pitfalls like boosting posts without a strategy or expecting instant results. Effective campaigns require thoughtful planning: clear objectives, defined audiences, engaging creative, and a reliable follow-up system. Just like building trust in person, digital trust takes time. Measuring success is also covered, with key metrics outlined such as reach, impressions, video views, click-through rates, cost per result, and engagement. But the biggest takeaway? Prioritise brand visibility. The more people who know your brand, the more opportunities you'll create in the long run.“This isn't just about shouting out into the void; it's about putting your message and your brand in front of exactly the right people at exactly the right time.”- Kylie WalkerWe explore:Effective use of Facebook ads in property management and real estateCommon misconceptions about Facebook advertisingPersonal experiences and strategies for successful ad campaignsImportance of brand awareness in marketingTargeting capabilities of Facebook and Instagram for reaching specific demographicsCommon mistakes made by agents and business owners in Facebook advertisingImportance of structured ad campaigns with clear objectivesUnderstanding the time needed to build trust and convert leadsKey metrics to track for measuring the success of Facebook adsViewing Facebook ads as a brand-building tool rather than just a lead generation toolConnect with Done For You ServicesDone For You Services - https://dfys.com.au/Find out about our Done For You Social Media Management - https://dfys.mykajabi.com/done-for-you-smFind out about our Done for You Lead Generation - https://dfys.mykajabi.com/done-for-you-lead-generationConnect with Done For You Services: https://www.instagram.com/doneforyouservices_/Kylie's ResourcesProperty Management Growth School:...
What happens when you spend years building a business, only to realise you're not set up to sell it, or worse, you've been losing income without even knowing?Many real estate business owners don't think about selling until they're ready to walk away and by then, it's often too late to fix what's broken.

Email marketing is one of the most overlooked tools in the real estate industry, but it's also one of the most powerful. Unlike social media, where you're at the mercy of algorithms, email gives you direct access to your audience and the chance to build genuine, long-term relationships.Whether you're nurturing cold leads, showcasing your expertise, or keeping clients in the loop, email lets you stay front of mind in a personal and consistent way.

Behind every successful business owner is a story you don't always see, the tough seasons, the unexpected turns, the quiet moments where they feel like giving up but decide to keep going anyway.It's making big decisions when you're not sure how things will turn out.

Yet when you realise that no one is exempt from going through challenging times and difficult times, it shifts something. And again, we were lucky enough to experience that.

There's pressure to show up, post consistently, and know what's trending… all while running a busy portfolio or managing a team.

Have you ever felt like you are juggling a million tasks?I've been there too! Often we are running on caffeine and chaos with things still falling apart or falling behind and you feel like you just can't keep up.Here's what I learnt from this - working harder doesn't always lead to better results and working smarter is where the real magic happens. We are now in a new era at the moment where AI is no longer a futuristic concept and the beauty of this is that AI is one of the most powerful tools to HELP make that shift from working harder to working smarter.The businesses that are embracing it are getting ahead. Whether you're struggling with admin overwhelm, losing time to repetitive tasks, or just trying to figure out how to grow sustainably, AI can help. AI is changing how we work but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. It's about freeing yourself and your team up to do more of what actually moves the needle. And in this episode we deep dive into AI so you can start seeing how you can implement AI into your business.I chat with Sam Mclean who is the founder of Elite Agent and helps businesses win more listings and get more efficient with AI. Sam shares practical tools you can start using today, explains why AI isn't as scary as it sounds, and shows us how it can free up your time to do the stuff that really matters.“ The Agents that can use AI well will win the new era. And that means using AI well to do the things that AI can do so it can free you up to do the things that AI can't do. And so what I see is the ‘AI can't do's' is the building relationships and having real empathy with your clients. If AI can free you up to do more of that, then I think that's how you win” --Sam McleanWe explore:Sam's journey from corporate tech to property and how AI became a part of her worldThe must have AI tools that real estate professionals should be using right now (including large language models like ChatGPT and Claude)How AI agents and automations are doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes from email creation to content creationThe power of tools for personalising your communication and building stronger relationships with landlords, vendors, and tenantsWhat “Search Everywhere Optimization” means and why it matters more than SEOHow AI is helping real estate businesses reduce arrears, improve efficiency, and helping to create growthKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/ Sensor Global: https://sensorinsure.com/ and...

If you're a property manager, BDM, or business owner, you're always looking for ways to grow your rent roll and bring in new business. Partnering with buyer's agents is one of the most overlooked yet powerful relationships you can have in business and could connect you with multiple investor clients, filling your pipeline with potential opportunities. Your next big client might not come from cold outreach, it could come from a strategic partnership. Instead of waiting for landlords to come to you, build relationships with the professionals who are bringing investors into the market right now.

With a passion for demystifying the property market, Emily is committed to guiding buyers through the most significant purchase of their lives.

This philosophy is at the heart of Emily's approach, ensuring each property purchased feels like the perfect fit.“In property managers that I've spoken to, the ones that are leveraging the buyer's agent relationship the best are those who really make great relationships with their clients, who are investors who want to build a portfolio and recommend them to a buyer's advocate to help grow that portfolio. And in return that buyer's advocate. Giving the business back to that property manager to look after the properties that they purchased.” -Emily WallaceWe explore:- How property managers can form referral relationships with buyer agents- Why property managers should be leveraging these partnerships to grow their rent rolls- What buyer's agents look for in a property manager before making a referral- The best ways to approach a buyer's agent and pitch your property management services- How technology and systems play a role in building trust and securing more business- Why communication and transparency are the key factors in winning over investors- How the buyer's advocacy industry is evolving and what it means for property managersKylie's ResourcesProperty Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/ HD&U Sales Bundle:
