Have you ever wondered if you could successfully run a property management company from 2,000 miles away? Liz Cleyman has done exactly that, and she's just getting started.

Former NARPM President Liz Cleyman takes us on her remarkable journey from marketing professional to multi-state property management entrepreneur. Starting as a licensed real estate broker in Florida in 2012, Liz eventually relocated to Colorado while continuing to build her industry knowledge and connections. What makes her story truly fascinating is how she launched Blue Sail Property Management in Florida in 2021—operating it remotely from Colorado—and is now expanding with a new office in Denver.

Throughout our conversation, Liz shares wisdom from her extensive leadership experience within NARPM, revealing that most successful property managers operate with portfolios of just 100-150 doors. She distinguishes between courage and bravery in business decisions: "Bravery is charging into battle and not being afraid. Courage is feeling the fear and doing what must be done anyway."

For property managers looking to grow their businesses, Liz offers practical strategies that have proven successful across markets. She emphasizes the importance of building referral networks with realtors and neighboring property management companies, staying visible in your community through organizations like BNI and Chamber of Commerce, and positioning yourself as an expert on local legislation. Her insights on maintenance reserves, habitability laws, and building trust with owners provide actionable takeaways for property managers at any experience level.

Whether you're managing properties in one neighborhood or contemplating expansion across state lines, Liz's approach to relationship-building and risk management offers a blueprint for sustainable growth in the property management industry. Listen now to learn how courage, expertise, and strong networks can help you build a thriving property management business anywhere.
