That means utilizing leverage, liquidity, and control.2. Start with the "Why?". If you have reasons and clarity they will reap rewards.3. When you're managing a property you need to be in constant contact with the management company. Weekly calls and "pulse" emails containing KPIs.4. Every property should have its own management budget.5. What are your core values? Use these when hiring staff, using vendors, and working with partners.6. You need to know the market. Know the expenses, taxes, and operating costs. 7. Speak with community bankers and property managers to learn about the market and gain knowledge on the market and costs.8. It's a "people business".
