1. Hire a real BDM, not a part-time one
A dedicated BDM with a clear territory and target outperforms 'everyone prospects on Tuesday' by an order of magnitude. Hire one, brief them well, give them tools.
2. Retention is growth
Losing 80 doors a year while writing 100 is treadmill work. Invest in PM workload, owner communication and retention systems before you push acquisition harder.
3. Structure for scale
Pod model, dedicated leasing, in-house trust accounting — the right structure varies by size, but every step up requires a structural change before you bolt on more doors.
4. Acquisition vs organic
Rent-roll acquisitions can fast-track growth but carry real attrition risk. Most failed acquisitions come from underestimating the PM workload spike in months 1–6.
