We pull back the curtain on franchise property management and show how task-based systems, rotating files and vague “internal reviews” can turn simple admin errors into lost rent, rejected insurance claims and broken tenant relationships. The story starts with a single breach notice issued incorrectly, then unravels into weeks of arrears and money the owner never sees. Acros...

Inside Franchise Property Management: Explaining The Structure
Think the big real estate brand keeps your property safe? We unpack why that comforting promise often cracks the moment you look behind the logo. Sam sits down with Brittany who spent most of her real estate career inside franchise offices, to map how the franchise structure really works, why oversight is thinner than you think, and how that gap translates into missed inspections, delayed rent reviews, and reactive maintenance that chips away at returns. We start with the illusion of safety:...

Ready for a property bombshell that could save you $150,000?

For multi property investors, these losses can easily exceed $50,000; enough for a substantial home renovatio...
