ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of Unfiltered, Dylan Scroggins talks with Matt Nicklin, Founder and Managing Broker at One Source Real Estate, about growing a property management company to around 200 doors through a combination of organic growth, acquisitions, and strong operations.
Matt shares how he went from a background in technology to property management, why acquiring smaller operators can be an effective growth strategy, and what he looks for when taking over another company's book of business. He also discusses the importance of building the right team, putting people in the right seats, and knowing when an operator needs to stop doing everything themselves.
They also discuss the changing property management market, the decline of traditional "intentional investors," the rise of accidental landlords, and why operators need to adapt their ideal customer profile as market conditions change.
