What's actually happening in the housing market right now and how should property managers respond?

In this episode, Marc Cunningham sits down with housing market expert Ivy Zelman of Zelman & Associates to unpack the macro housing trends shaping the future of property management. Ivy shares why today's market is more segmented than ever, how overbuilding in Sunbelt markets is impacting rents and occupancy, and why affordability (not inventory) is the real issue facing housing today.

Marc and Ivy also dive into the growing disconnect between renewal rents and market rents, why occupancy matters more than price in the current environment, and what property managers should be telling owner clients right now.

This conversation is packed with insights on build-to-rent communities, investor behavior, reluctant landlords, concessions, demographics, and what property managers should expect over the next several years in both the rental and for-sale housing markets.

If you want to better understand the "why" behind today's market conditions and how to communicate those realities to owners this episode is essential listening.

What are the things you already know about your property management business but keep ignoring?

In this episode, Marc Cunningham and Dave Borden of Rentvine break down six hard truths every property manager faces, from declining rental demand to rising owner expectations. The difference isn't awareness; it's action.

This conversation challenges the "it is what it is" mindset and reframes common industry problems into opportunities for growth. From handling slower rental markets and protecting revenue when rents drop, to navigating demanding clients and setting business boundaries, Marc and Dave walk through practical strategies you can implement immediately.

They also dive into one of the most important skills in property management; how to make problems go away and why that mindset can transform your relationships with tenants, owners, and your team.

If you've been feeling stuck, reactive, or overwhelmed, this episode will push you to rethink how you approach the challenges you already know exist.

What does it take to grow a property management company to 600 doors and what happens when you hit the wall?

In this episode, Marc Cunningham sits down with David Normand of Vendoroo to break down his journey from scaling a property management company from under 100 doors to 600 in just a few years. David shares the simple four-word tagline that fueled that growth "Dave is your guy" and why trust, not technology, is still the foundation of winning owner clients.

But growth came with a cost.

At 600 doors, David hit the same problem most operators face: how do you scale yourself? That challenge led him down a path into workflow design, systems thinking, and ultimately AI-powered maintenance solutions.

This conversation dives into how AI is transforming property management maintenance from 24/7 work order handling to automated triage, vendor coordination, and improved owner communication. It also explores the real operational pain points property managers face and how technology can solve them without replacing the human element.

If you're trying to grow your portfolio, reduce maintenance headaches, or understand how AI fits into your business, this episode delivers both strategy and real-world application.
