The HMO Podcast

Should you self-manage your HMO properties or should you hand this off to your local managing agent?

A lot of my mentees really get stuck at this point and it’s because they don’t quite know what’s involved in managing HMOs, which is understandable because there’s a lot involved in managing HMOs.

So in this episode, we’re going to discuss everything involved in managing HMOs to help you make an informed decision on whether you should self-manage or just use an agent.

I’m a big fan of partnering with people in business because I think the ability to leverage people’s skills, experience, and credibility in different areas fills the gaps that I don’t necessarily have. 

There are lots of things that I look for in a partnership but also lots of things that I actively try to avoid, and in this episode, I’m going to talk about the personality traits of people that I try to avoid in partnerships.
