Key Takeaways:

“There’s gotta be scale involved. I think somewhere is probably around the 300 to 500 unit door count. It starts to make sense because without getting that type of traction you gotta get an X enough experience under your belt on the management side. And the whole foundation of this is the management company. Your management experience has to be second to none for your owners and for your tenants. Get that right first. Once you have the confidence level that you can now start branching out into other opportunities then you can do so.” – Tony LeBlanc

“And the biggest beauty about this, the whole thing, why it’s easy for us to spin off these companies is because we have the infrastructure. You can only get that infrastructure once you’re a certain size. We have a full-time CA on staff. I’ve got all my maintenance guys, my cleaning staff, my property managers, my resident managers. I have a team. I can reuse them for the different things that I want to be.” – Tony LeBlanc
