I wanted to get inside the head of a property manager and find out his perspective on real estate investing. During this interview, we bounced around talking about different things. We started off talking about him in this great venture that he has started. He built a company called Great Jones, which they planned to take nationwide as a property management company with some very unique services that come from the corporate world actually from Wall Street because he used to be with Waypoint Homes which is part of Starwood. You might know the hotel chain Starwood and they used to be with FirstKey.

He comes from a background of publicly-traded companies and companies that are backed by tens of millions of dollars. These companies were literally buying thousands and thousands of properties. In fact, he was part of that whole acquisition, which is still going on but he decided to branch off and start creating a nationwide property management company. It's small but this guy has got the smarts and his team got the smarts to make this a very big deal. You think about property management, I talk about this often and they're not just your property manager. They're your asset managers. They have to take care of your property, fill vacancies, maintain the property, take care of the tenants who are your customers and deal with the law and liability. They need to be understanding of the environment speaking of the law and liability.
