Most real estate investors spend months finding the right deal and 20 minutes picking the wrong manager. That mistake costs you cash flow, tenants, and sometimes the asset itself.

In this episode, Tyler Casey — CEO of ProX Property Management and operator of 2,000+ units — walks through the exact 21-question framework he'd use to interview any property manager before handing over the keys. These aren't softball questions. They're the ones that expose bad operators, hidden fees, and the kind of management style that quietly bleeds your investment dry.

If you're self-managing and considering making a change, evaluating your current manager, or about to close on a new deal — this episode is required listening before you sign anything.

What you'll learn:

• The fee structures most managers don't volunteer until it's too late
• How to stress-test a manager's tenant screening standards
• The maintenance markup conversation that separates honest operators from the rest
• What a manager's answer about vacancy tells you about their entire operation

Don't let the wrong hire ruin the right deal.
