269: How to Build (and Keep) a $200M Staff with Josh Cantwell
Growth isn't easy when you're building a company worth $200 million. It's hard to have a clear hierarchy of what everyone is doing and how they're doing it.
For example, our portfolio will soon have about 3,000 units. We have at least 25 in-house staff as property managers and leasing agents. We also have 25 out-of-house to handle repairs and maintenance, 80 people on our CapEx crews, and a small handful of individuals in our corporate office.
What makes this arrangement work? Even though I'm usually focused on investor relationships, underwriting acquisitions, and analysis, our so-called C-suite isn't driving Ferraris and eating lobster while everyone else is taking the bus to work and surviving off of hot dogs. That's not how it works.
In today's conversation, I want to talk about the difference between having your head in the clouds versus hanging out in the dirt. And more importantly, why having mutual respect between your employees, no matter what their role is in the company, is critical to your success.
