Zach Posey joins us to explain how he's acquired various house hacks and grown a significant net worth all while having a demanding W2 career! Zach starts off by detailing the acquisition of his first house hack and the hurdles that came almost immediately after closing. He talks about purchasing an oversized 4-unit building, seeing value-add potential, and executing a renovation strategy to create equity! Zach gives property management insights for house hackers which are centered around doing right by tenants and people in general. He explains the ins and outs of acquiring a property by assuming a VA loan. Throughout the episode, Zach demonstrates that growing a portfolio as a busy professional is doable and that the financial reward far outweighs the work that is required!

There's been a lot of noise over the last few days around proposed changes to capital gains tax, specifically the CGT discount that investors get when they sell a property they've held for more than 12 months. Headlines are flying, the WhatsApp groups are lighting up, and I've already had messages asking, should I sell now? Is property about to be smashed? Is this the end of investing as we know it? So today, let's slow this right down. In this episode, I want to cover five things: Firstly, what the CGT discount is now and what's actually been proposed. Number two, what needs to happen for these changes to actually become law. Three, how this could change investor behavior and strategy. Four, what this might do to the property market, prices, supply and rent. And finally, whether this really raises government revenue or just reshuffles the deck. By the end of this episode, you should be far clearer and hopefully a lot calmer.

What does it really take to grow a property management company from scratch and do it while building a life outside the business? In this episode, Marc Cunningham sits down with Carson Hamann of Bobcat Property Management to unpack her journey from buying her first rental at 18 years old to running a 275-door property management company in Northern Nevada. Carson shares how she grew mostly organically, what she learned from acquiring (and later shedding) doors early on, and how she built professionalism and confidence as a young operator in a traditionally male-dominated industry. The conversation dives into work ethic, mindset, hiring challenges, setting boundaries as a kind-hearted leader, and the systems that helped Carson manage growth without burning out. Carson also explains how she generates consistent owner leads, often averaging one per day, largely through agent referrals and Google reviews, without heavy ad spend. This episode is an honest look at sustainable growth, leadership development, and balancing ambition with family, motherhood, and life outside the office.

What happens when one of the largest centralized property managers in short-term rentals meets a deeply local, franchise-driven model? In this episode of The STR Data Lab, AirDNA's Chief Economist Jamie Lane sits down with Steve Schwab, CEO of Casago, to unpack one of the most consequential industry shifts of the past decade: the Vacasa–Casago merger.Steve shares an honest, behind-the-scenes look at how the integration is unfolding — from transitioning thousands of homes and teammates to rethinking how scale, culture, and accountability actually work in hospitality. The conversation goes beyond headlines to explore why local ownership, empowered teams, and owner-centric decision-making may be the antidote to the operational strain that has challenged large STR operators in recent years.Along the way, Jamie and Steve dive into franchise economics, technology complexity, churn as a health metric, and the often-underestimated skill that separates top-tier operators from the rest. Whether you're an independent host, a growing property manager, or an industry professional watching STR evolve in real time, this episode offers a rare perspective on where the business is headed — and what it takes to build something that lasts.This is one conversation that will change how you think about scale, leadership, and success in short-term rentals — you don't want to miss it.Key Takeaways You Can Apply TodayLocal ownership matters more than ever: Empowered, in-market operators create stronger relationships with homeowners, guests, and communities — and reduce churn.Scale isn't just about size: Breaking operations into locally accountable units can avoid the “dis-economies” that plague centralized models.Technology complexity is the silent killer: From PMS integrations to revenue management and accounting, STR operations are far deeper than they appear — especially in year one.Churn is a health check, not just a metric: Monitoring churn at both the market and portfolio level reveals operational and cultural issues early.The best operators know when to say no: Curating the right inventory, homeowners, and guests is often what separates top-performing property managers from underperformers.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

If you've ever worried about calling up a lawyer, where your rentals are located, only to not get help and get a big bill - well, you can reduce that chance by doing your homework in advance.  Tim Baldwin, Florida Real Estate Attorney, was a guest on My Life As a Landlord in Episode 183.  Today, he's back impacting the landlording world by interviewing me on his podcast called “Property Management Law Solutions”.  In this show, we discuss common pitfalls new landlords have, when to know if you should even be a landlord at all, and what to look for in hiring a property manager.  Join me and Tim on today's practical landlording show, and learn a nugget or two!

In this episode of the podcast, we're tackling a question many female real estate investors face: Should you invest in real estate if you have credit card debt? We share how tools like 0% APR cards can be used strategically for renovations—when you have the cash and discipline to pay them off—while explaining why it's nearly impossible to out-invest 20–30% credit card interest. We break down key red flags, including making only minimum payments, having no emergency reserves, and relying on rental cash flow to cover interest with no plan to eliminate principal.We walk through a few cases where investing while carrying debt might make sense, such as a conservative flip or a house hack that significantly reduces your housing costs, allowing you to attack debt faster. Lastly, we discuss using reserves, selling, or refinancing properties to pay off high-interest credit cards, and the mindset shift from avoidance to taking small, quick-win steps forward.  Resources:Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupFind out more about how to work with Grace's sister, Malia Gudenkauf, by visiting her websiteMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram

What Does It Mean to Think Like an Owner in Property Management?Retail real estate is not won in boardrooms. It is won in the field. Chris Ressa sits down with Tine Helton, Regional Property Manager at DLC, to talk about the work that actually keeps open-air retail centers running across Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. From tenant relationships to infrastructure issues, Tine walks through what it means to own the day-to-day when performance, responsiveness, and consistency are the difference between a good center and a great one.Tine's path into property management started on the leasing side, where she learned how a deal turns into a real, operating business.

Can a property management company add real estate sales or should a real estate sales company bolt on property management? In this episode, Marc Cunningham sits down with Justin Woodall to unpack how Justin successfully built a property management division out of an already thriving real estate sales business.

You'll hear candid insights on referral strategies between sales and PM, how to protect online reviews, how to communicate sales services to owner clients, and why recurring revenue from property management ultimately creates more long-term enterprise value than sales commissions alone.

In this episode, we tackle a big question for women building wealth through real estate: should you invest when you have credit card debt—and can credit cards ever be used strategically? Guest Malia Gudenkauf, also known as Little Miss Finance, breaks down when credit card debt is a hard no, when it might be acceptable, and why paying off 20–30% interest often beats chasing the next deal. We dig into the difference between using a 0% APR promo card versus revolving high-interest debt, plus the few situations where investing with debt can make sense, such as a conservative cosmetic flip or a house hack that slashes your housing costs so you can attack balances faster. We also flag major red flags, such as making only minimum payments, relying on rental cash flow to cover interest, and investing without reserves. Beyond the numbers, we talk about the stress of debt, the habit of “burying your head in the sand,” and how real estate should expand your life—not add panic.

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future concept—it's already reshaping how investors, entrepreneurs, and operators build wealth today. In this episode of The Abundance Mindset, Vinney Chopra and Gualter Amarelo break down how AI is being used right now to save time, scale decision-making, and eliminate inefficiencies in real estate and business.

Can technology truly replace the warmth of human connection in collections?Here's the truth: automation can't carry compassion. But you can blend both for better outcomes.Today's Multifamily Operations Tip of the Day unpacks a tension we're all feeling: How do you automate rent collections without turning cold and robotic?Automation is brilliant for reminders, logs, and consistency, but it still requires human empathy. This episode explores how leaders can use PropTech tools like Elise AI (no sponsorships here, just a good example) while still empowering teams to apply discretion where it counts. Collections are emotional. Context matters. And sometimes, only a human voice will do.Technology should support your people, not replace them. Not yet.

Real estate didn't just change our income—it transformed our time, relationships, and what we believe is possible for our lives. In this episode, we share honestly about the lifestyle shifts we've experienced since becoming real estate investors: non-traditional work weeks, flexible days built around things we love (like pickleball, personal training, and slow Fridays), and the ability to travel or go home for weeks at a time without asking for PTO.We talk about how our social circles have completely changed as we've surrounded ourselves with ambitious women who talk about equity, mindset, and expansion. Amelia opens up about leaving a 9-year relationship, how having her own portfolio gave her the option to walk away, and why you can still invest even if your partner isn't on board.We also break down how real estate has made us financially stronger through debt paydown, equity, tax benefits, and the confidence that we can go out and make more money because we have the skills. If you're a woman who wants more freedom, alignment, and audacity in your life, this conversation will feel like a glimpse of what's possible for you, too.  Resources:Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram

In this episode of the Real Estate Investor Growth Network Podcast, host Jen Josey welcomes back her "work husband" and REIGN Coach, Bud Evans. Bud shares his journey from a career in the military and public service to building a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio and leading a veteran-focused property management company. The conversation is packed with actionable strategies, real-world stories, and a healthy dose of humor as Bud and Jen dive into the systems and mindsets that drive success in real estate investing.   Bud details his rigorous tenant screening process, including his unique 100-point scoring system and the integration of AI tools to streamline and safeguard property management. He emphasizes the importance of consistency, documentation, and systems—not just for legal protection, but for scaling a successful rental business. Bud also shares tips for landlords on lease clauses, maintenance responsibilities, and how to create standard operating procedures using innovative tools.   The episode wraps up with Bud's "BADASS" insights, covering his favorite books, advice, systems, and what success means to him. He offers encouragement to take action, invest in education, and serve others—values that have shaped his own journey. Listeners are invited to connect with Bud for coaching, strategy sessions, or just to soak up more of his hard-earned wisdom.   00:00 Introduction to REIGN and Host Jen Josey 00:53 Badassery Bestowment: Finding Distressed Properties on Zillow 03:22 Guest Introduction: Meet Bud Evans 06:49 Bud Evans' Journey from Military to Real Estate 11:35 Tenant Screening: Importance and Strategies 15:35 The 100-Point Tenant Screening System 21:51 Incorporating AI in Tenant Screening 22:40 Privacy and Data Redaction in Tenant Management 23:29 AI in Financial Verification 24:30 Scoring and Approval Criteria for Tenants 25:09 AI Success Stories in Tenant Screening 27:00 Impact of AI on Vacancy Rates 27:36 Property Management and Self-Management Tips 29:11 Creating Effective Leases 34:47 Speaking Engagements and YouTube Channel 37:51 Personal Goals and Success Strategies 5 Key Takeaways Distressed Property Hunting: Use Zillow's keyword search (e.g., "fixer," "as is," "needs work"), filter by days on market, monitor price drops, scrutinize listing photos, and check public records to find hidden investment opportunities. Tenant Screening Systems: Implement a 100-point scoring system covering income stability, credit, criminal background, rental history, and file completeness. Consistency and documentation are essential to avoid legal pitfalls. Integrating AI: Utilize AI tools (like ChatGPT) for analyzing tenant applications, redacting sensitive info, and verifying income-to-expense ratios. AI can catch details humans might miss and streamline decision-making. Lease & Maintenance Tips: Customize leases to your market, include clauses for property showings before move-out, set a $250 repair threshold, and require proper documentation for pets. Use tools like Scribe to document your processes.

Jason Hull explains why bad property managers destroy returns—and why smart investors start with the manager, not the property.In this episode of RealDealChat, Jason Hull, founder of DoorGrow and host of The DoorGrow Show, breaks down one of the most overlooked truths in real estate investing: property management—not the property—is the key to true passive income.We unpack why so many investors struggle with micromanagement, misaligned incentives, and emotional decision-making—and how most property managers end up trapped in what Jason calls the “cycle of suck.” Jason explains how elite investors flip the script by finding a great property manager first, paying them well, and letting them protect the asset.This conversation also dives into off-market deal flow through property managers, why DIY management stalls growth, how bad properties create bad tenants, and what technology and AI will (and won't) replace in property management.If you want real passive income—not a second job—this episode is required listening.
