Bringing on a new owner can create major headaches if expectations aren’t clear from the start. In this episode, host Pete Neubig talks with Karen Jordan, Director of Growth at HBR Rentals, about how her team uses a paid Property Condition Report during the onboarding process to set standards, educate owners, and prevent costly surprises later. Karen explains how this simple step helps screen for the right clients, ensures properties meet rent-ready standards, and creates smoother onboarding for both owners and residents. The result? Faster leasing, fewer early maintenance issues and a much calmer experience for the operations team.
