Just Leased: How Strategy (Not Luck) Tripled Inspection Attendance
Tenant selection is one of the most critical steps in managing an investment property — and one of the most commonly rushed.
Too often, we see landlords suffer through late rent, property damage, or constant complaints, all because of one simple mistake: choosing the wrong tenant.
Why Choosing the Right Property Manager Matters More Than You Think
When it comes to managing your residential investment property, the quality of your property manager can mean the difference between steady growth and ongoing frustration.
Yet, many property owners don’t realise that the average career span for a new property manager is only 9 months. High turnover is often caused by overwhelming workloads, with property-to-manager ratios sometimes exceeding 150:1. In these cases, managers aren’t truly managing your property — they’re merely monitoring it, leading to rushed inspections, delayed maintenance, and poor communication with tenants.
