Onerent is challenging the status quo that's been all-too-long accepted for property management. By investing in tech, developing streamlined systems, and caring about the tenant's experience his team has expanded to 72 cities managing over $1 billion in real estate. Chuck is the co-founder of Onerent. He's super bright and offers a lot of insight into the rental industry in this episode.
Are you stuck? The best way to get unstuck and grow your business is to talk to clients and customers. Today, I am talking to Chuck Hattemer, co-founder and CMO of Onerent, about systems and processes used to scale to 2,000 doors. While in college, Chuck had a horrible housing experience as a renter. An aspect that drew Chuck into real estate was that he could impact some of the most sensitive parts of people’s lives as renters. You'll Learn... [03:06] Chuck describes his company’s first platform, which was student housing with a few extra bells and whistles. [03:26] Onerent took that as a model to investors to raise seed capital. [04:14] Onerent pivoted to a full-service property management. Eventually, it scaled to managing 2,000 doors. [04:54] Having come from the renter’s perspective and a lack of experience, Chuck is still naive about some things. But that naivate lets him think out of the box for solutions. [05:20] Onerent identified problems people were facing, how to make the experience consistent, and how value translates to the investor. [07:33] The current trend is putting money into other things instead of buying a property. So, people, especially millennials, are renting. [07:50] Chuck expects a big move eventually by first-time investors that is fueled by technology. [08:25] Onerent hired staff new to the industry and with a different perspective to drive the company’s culture and mission regarding how to interact with renters and owners. [09:48] At Onerent, it is ok to fail and apply what you learned in the next initiative. It’s a sign that you are making progress toward being successful. [10:49] Create a culture where staff feels safe and comfortable to express problems. Support your team, and they will support you as an entrepreneur. [12:33] At Onerent, each part of the rental process is managed by its own team. This helps handle tasks and keeps tenants informed. This collaboration drives motivation, happiness, competition,and success. [14:59] Onerent follows a workflow business model where staff members specialize in one area. [15:55] Make changes. Onerent would not be where it is today and able to scale its business without having pivoted from software to full-service property management. [17:00] Onerent figured out how to grow its business - talk to customers and clients to identify its next move. [17:48] Companies often try to sell what they can sell instead of what their customers actually need. [18:15] Don’t change everything at the same time. Make iterative changes over time. [19:27] To grow your business, determine the scale. What’s the purpose of your property management business? What is your key output metric? What is the closest tie to revenue and customer satisfaction? [21:20] What are the inputs that go into that output? Consider the customer lifecycle. Determine where you will have the greatest impact to improve efficiency and operations. [22:40] Unlock growth by having a sales team and defined sales process. Develop credibility by aligning and partnering with large real estate brokerages. [24:15] Onerent’s key performance indicator is its time to lease. Chuck has to deal with various constraints, including listing exposure; qualified applications; and signed leases. [25:24] Utilize on-demand scheduling for showings. Onerent then dispatches a mobile manager who shows a property. [25:45] People usually have to pay application and documentation fees. However, Onerent offers a free application process. [27:10] How do you start a property at the right price? Educate property owners that if they list the property too high initially, their listing stays on the market too long. [28:35] In property management, how can you look at things with fresh eyes? Get out of your office and talk to customers. Make sure to have an open mind about all problems. [29:30] Think about your own problems as a property owner. The best way to start a new business is to solve your own problems. [30:30] Entrepreneurs love to solve problems. If you could solve a problem, what would it look like? Unpack a problem into small components. Don’t try to solve it all at once. Tweetables If you could solve a problem, what would it look like? Be open to feedback. Companies sell what they can instead of what their customers actually need. Create a culture where the staff feels safe to express when they are stuck.

Today, I am talking with Chuck Hattemer, the co-founder and CMO of OneRent, a property management startup that has raised $8,000,000 in funding to deliver a simple and efficient rental experience that everyone can trust, from landlords to renters. They launched just 3 years ago and already have over 1,200 homes under management and have served more than 10,000 renters across 56 cities. In our chat, Chuck holds nothing back as he shares the exact tactics, strategies, funnels, and even scripts, that he and his team have used to rapidly grow their business as well as how they plan to scale.
If you’ve ever told yourself that you’re two young, too broke, too whatever to become a real estate entrepreneur, stop listening to yourself. None of your excuses pass muster. Truth is you don’t need to be any special age and you don’t need any special powers to do real estate investing. You just need to get out there and start telling people what you’re doing. Find problems to solve! Then solve them through real estate transactions… and good ideas. That’s what you’ll learn in this episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast. Today’s guest isn’t even 25 yet. His name is Charles Hayden Hattemer and he became a real estate entrepreneur in his early 20s while still in college. That’s when he and a few friends were looking for a rental, coming up empty-handed. Landlords didn’t want to rent to students; rentals that existed were really hard to find. There had to be a better way. That’s when the first idea about OneRent.co sprang to life. What started out as a technological answer to solve problems in student housing grew to become a full-service property management company and more. Now OneRent serves both renters and owners across markets across the country! Hattemer and his partners created a way for renters and landlords to interact seamlessly on a single platform, providing what can only be called concierge-level customer service. Hattemer says he and his partners never had a written business plan. Rather they got out there and talked about what they were doing. They got feedback, they adjusted their approach and they learned to serve a really big need that just keeps expanding. When asked if his path was short, easy or free of failures, Hattemer can only chuckle. Um, no, is the short answer. Hattemer and his friends went through a lot of “crazy stuff” to get going on their idea. It took different failure events and even sleeping on pool tables at times to get to their goals. But they stuck to it and after just a handful of years, they have created something unique in the world of real estate that utilizes technology to allow renters, landlords and others involved in the rental process to work together on everything from viewings to signing agreements and beyond. Landlords get 24/7 insight into how their rentals are doing; renters can schedule different parts of the process according to their schedules. According to Hattemer, his company builds technology into the process where it makes sense while retaining the necessary one-on-one human interactions needed to get deals done. One unique feature is that they use mobile managers. When a renter wants to see a property, the mobile manager is notified and dispatched to the property to meet and greet the potential renter, and show them around at a pre-designated time chosen by the potential renter. That’s pretty cool. So are the automated rent-collection and maintenance management tools OneRent offers!Charles and his team are working on automated concierge services and look forward to expanding what they can do, merging technology into the rental process.
