Oct. 21, 2026 Every property manager comes home from a conference with a notebook full of ideas and good intentions, but most of those ideas never go anywhere. In this episode, host Pete Neubig sits down with Robert Dell’Osso, Co-Founder and CEO of Master Key Property Management, to break down a simple framework for getting real value out of conferences instead of walking away overwhelmed. They talk through identifying your top operational bottlenecks before you ever arrive, how to prioritize sessions and vendor conversations around those specific problems, why hallway and bar conversations often beat the breakout sessions, and how to bring ideas back to your team without triggering burnout or pushback. The conversation also digs into why door count still matters when PMs compare notes, and how timing your rollout around the conference calendar can turn a stack of notes into a built-out business over a few years.

Oct. 14, 2026 This episode of the NARPM® Radio podcast breaks down the sequence one property management business owner, Cameron Trope, Broker/Owner of Emerson Property Management, followed to step away from day-to-day operations without sacrificing service quality: build the systems first, then leave the field. The conversation traces how early process checklists that tried to cover every possible scenario actually became unusable, why bringing in outside implementation help made the difference, and how shifting tasks to lower-cost remote team members only worked once the underlying process was solid. It also covers the policy decisions that quietly maintain consistency at scale, why low churn tracks directly to clear expectations across the team, and why growth that breaks an old system is usually a healthy sign rather than a warning. Owners and investors will come away with a concrete picture of what actually has to be in place before you can run a business from anywhere.

Oct. 7, 2026 Two brothers took their property management company from zero doors to over 1,200 units in just six years and, along the way, built one of the most durable in-house maintenance operations in the industry. In this episode, Pete talks with the Shannon Property Management co-founders about how they split their maintenance team into three distinct roles: ticket technicians, 1099 make-ready crews, and independent estimators, and why keeping the estimator out of the make-ready team (with no "skin in the game") protects both pricing integrity and owner trust. They also get into utilization tracking, what it actually costs to bring maintenance in-house (insurance, trucks, inventory), the real financial risk of quitting two jobs to start from scratch, and what's driving their next move: spinning off a standalone AC repair company.

Sept. 30, 2026 When Northpoint Asset Management lost 1,500 doors overnight in a major institutional consolidation, CEO Dan French had to rebuild fast. In this episode, Dan joins host Pete Neubig to unpack what really happened when a large capital partner consolidated its portfolio onto a single property manager, the SFR churn rates operators rarely admit to publicly, and how a deliberate client-pruning strategy turned a painful loss into a leaner, more resilient business. Dan shares the leadership mindset that carried his team through the disruption, the "owner concierge desk" system Northpoint built to catch problematic clients early, and how the crisis accelerated a pivot into small multifamily and build-to-rent management, plus a referral opportunity for SFR managers who don't serve that market themselves.

Sept. 23, 2026 In this episode, host Pete Neubig sits down with Chapin Hemphill, a two-time property management entrepreneur who left a corporate leadership role, built a 132-door firm from the ground up using remote staff and automation, and successfully exited it, only to start over again in a new state. The conversation covers what it actually takes to build a property management company that's valuable enough to sell, the books and frameworks that shaped that thinking, and how AI is now changing the way operators train remote team members, build internal tools, and hand off tasks that used to require specialized hires. It's a candid look at entrepreneurship, resilience through personal setbacks, and what "building to sell" really means, even when selling isn't the goal.

Sept. 16, 2026 Eviction law is moving fast, and the property managers who don't keep pace are paying for it. In this episode of NARPM Radio, host Pete Neubig talks with the eviction attorneys of Loebsack & Brownlee - Chris Loebsack, Hans Dara and Jared Schmidt - about the current state of evictions across the Southeast. The conversation covers how to vet applicants against increasingly sophisticated fraud, the case for pursuing lease-violation evictions rather than waiting on non-payment, and the data behind one simple habit (filing consistently) that helped one client cut their writ rate from 27% to under 5%. Whether you're managing a handful of doors or a multi-state portfolio, it's a practical look at reducing risk and protecting your properties.

Sept. 9, 2026 Jeff and Jerry Hornberger scaled the Hornberger Group to nearly 700 units in three years, making almost every mistake along the way. In this episode of NARPM Radio, they break down the real cost of growing too fast, the decision to let go of a longtime client to protect their team, and how they finally got past their fear of raising fees, rolling out a new PMA that grew revenue by over 40% while losing just two clients. This is a candid, numbers-driven look at what it actually takes to scale a property management business.

Sept. 2, 2026  Kyle Frederickson, co-founder of Keyrenter Boise, shares how his property management company added 36 new doors in a single month without spending a dollar on paid leads. He breaks down how he built a referral network from scratch after moving to a new city with zero connections, why "less is more" beats casting a wide net with brokerages, and the simple habit (actually answering the phone) that keeps referral relationships compounding for years. The conversation also gets into the review-generation tactics that turned a painful one-star review into content, and how he and his business partner — one the visionary, one the integrator — navigate disagreements without letting them fester.

Aug. 26, 2026 A year ago, Rob Kazen was burnt out, buried in day-to-day operations, and unknowingly holding his own company back. In this episode, the Broker/CEO of First Choice Property Management joins host Pete Neubig to share how promoting the right person into the right seat, paired with a shift from portfolio-based to pod structure, new AI tools, and real accountability metrics, transformed both his business and his role within it. It's a candid look at what it actually takes to move from working in your business to leading it.

Aug. 19, 2026 Most property management businesses start in what Ben Serven calls the "tribal knowledge" stage, where nothing is documented, and decisions live in people's heads. Pete sits down with Ben, founder and CEO of BlackSheep Global, to break down the four levels of process culture every PM business moves through on the way to sustainable growth, and why belief and documentation alone aren't enough without real accountability. They also cover the door-count threshold where "figuring it out as you go" stops working, and why departmental structures tend to scale more cleanly than portfolio models.

Aug. 12, 2026 Every hour you spend on your business has a price tag. Are you working $10-an-hour jobs when you should be working $1,000-an-hour ones? In this episode, host Pete Neubig talks with Tony Cline, founder of Onyx Property Management Coaching, about his popular framework for identifying which tasks to delegate and which deserve your full attention. Tony also shares how lessons from ultra-marathon training — community, coaching, and metrics-driven commitment — apply directly to scaling a property management business.

Aug. 5, 2026 Property management has long struggled with a basic problem: no two companies calculate their numbers the same way. In this episode, host Pete Neubig sits down with Brad Johnson, CEO of ProfitCoach, and Wolfgang Croskey, owner of Croskey Real Estate and co-founder of Crane, to unpack how the NARPM® Corporate and Trust Accounting Standards are solving that problem for good. Brad and Wolfgang walk through the origin of the corporate accounting standards back in 2018; why granular, standardized financial data matters for benchmarking and valuations; and how the newer NARPM® Trust Chart of Accounts is bringing that same clarity to trust accounting — right down to the property level.

July 29, 2026 HUD is signaling potential changes to how Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) are recognized, and property managers need to be prepared. In this episode, host Pete Neubig sits down with PetScreening Founder and CEO John R. Bradford III to break down what HUD's proposed changes could mean for ESAs and assistance animals, how federal and state rules interact, and what property managers should be doing today while the new guidance takes shape.

July 22, 2026 Professional listing media does more than make a property look good; it can help you lease faster, reduce vacancy days, and strengthen your company's brand. In this episode of NARPM Radio, host Pete Neubig sits down with Kori Covrigaru, CEO of PlanOmatic, to discuss the data behind professional photography, 3D tours, floor plans, AI virtual staging, and the technology that's helping property managers streamline the leasing process while creating a better experience for both renters and owners.

July 15, 2026 In this episode of NARPM Radio, host Pete Neubig sits down with Jordan Coleman, Loan Officer at Live Oak Bank, to explore how financing can help property management companies grow.

Jordan also shares what lenders look for, common acquisition mistakes, and practical advice for property managers preparing for their next stage of growth.
