This episode of the Boise REIN Show, hosted by Matt Osojnicki, dives into the transformative journey of Heather Eshelby Goade, a former school teacher who pivoted to real estate and property management alongside her husband, Corby. They share valuable insights on the importance of saying no, focusing on strengths, and the concept of 'delegate to elevate'. Heather recounts her accidental foray into real estate, evolving from initially selling her house to managing multiple properties and building a successful property management business. The discussion covers crucial lessons learned, the significance of screening tenants, maintaining professional distance, leveraging property management software for growth, establishing tenant relationships, and the strategic use of time management. Heather's story exemplifies how refusing to settle for less, embracing change, and strategically delegating tasks can lead to substantial growth and success in the real estate sector. 00:00 Introduction 01:17 Heather Eshelby Goade's Unconventional Path into Real Estate 02:22 From Teaching to Property Management: A Personal Journey 09:22 Learning from Mistakes: Tenant Screening and Property Management Insights 16:48 Scaling Up: The Transition from Managing a Few Properties to Many 22:05 The Journey from Self-Management to Professional Property Management 27:04 Choosing the Right Property Manager: Questions to Ask 30:26 Embracing Community and Future Trends in Property Management 33:53 Time Management and Work-Life Balance for Property Managers 40:23 Closing Thoughts: The Power of Saying No Get in Touch with Heather: Email heather@boiseturnkey.com, Call the BoiseTurnkey Office at (208)-900-9600, or visit www.BoiseTurnKey.com If you're looking to invest in the Boise market or seek long-term property management solutions, don't hesitate to contact Boise Turnkey, brokered by eXp Realty.
