    004: The Year Of The Fire Horse

    This episode is a little different. Instead of talking strictly about contracts, lending, or valuation, I’m talking about mindset. Specifically, I’m talking about the Chinese Lunar New Year and what the Year of the Fire Horse represents for you as a leader. In our industry, we are incredibly operations-focused. Benchmarks. SOPs. SaaS tools. Systems. And don’t get me wrong — I love a great SOP. Operations can make or break your business. But what happens when your operations are solid? What happens when you’ve built the foundation, the team, and the structure — and now you feel called to grow? This episode is about that moment. The Year of the Fire Horse only comes every 60 years. It represents power, speed, momentum, and focused energy. And if you are an operationally strong leader, this may be the year you stop thinking like an operator and start thinking like an acquirer. In This Episode✔️ What the Year of the Fire Horse represents and why it matters in business✔️ How last year’s “shedding” (Year of the Wood Snake) creates space for growth✔️ Why operations are essential — but not the end goal✔️ The difference between growing door-by-door and growing through acquisition✔️ How one conversation changed the trajectory of my business✔️ Why you must give yourself permission to think bigger✔️ The power of shifting from operator mindset to acquirer mindset✔️ Why people — not just processes — are what truly grow your business Connect With StaceyWebsite: https://www.staceysalyer.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/the.stacey.salyer/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stacey.salyer/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacey-salyer-39254012

    003: Lending on Acquisitions - Jordan Coleman

    In this episode, I’m joined by Jordan Coleman from Live Oak Bank, one of the few lenders in the country who truly understands property management acquisitions. Jordan and I dig into what actually matters when it comes to financing the purchase of a property management company — and what most buyers and sellers don’t realize until it’s too late. We talk candidly about how lenders evaluate property management businesses, the biggest red flags Jordan sees on the lending side, and how to set yourself up to be a strong buyer long before a deal is on the table. Whether you’re thinking about buying your first portfolio or preparing your business for an eventual exit, this conversation will give you clarity around the money side of acquisitions. This episode is for property management owners who want to grow through acquisition but feel unsure about financing, risk, or how lenders really think. In This Episode✔️ When to bring a lender into the acquisition conversation (hint: earlier than you think)✔️ What lenders look for when financing property management acquisitions✔️ Why cash flow matters more than purchase price or multiples✔️ The biggest red flags lenders see, including owner concentration and geography✔️ How seller financing and bank financing can work together in one deal✔️ What buyers and sellers often misunderstand about tax returns and financials✔️ Why every acquisition is different and why “average multiples” can be misleading✔️ How working capital and refinancing can support long-term growth More About JordanJordan Coleman is a commercial lending specialist with Live Oak Bank, where she focuses on financing growth for property management companies. With deep expertise in acquisition lending, refinancing seller notes, and working capital strategy, Jordan partners with buyers and owners to help them scale sustainably through smart capital decisions. She works closely with property management leaders across the country to evaluate cash flow, assess acquisition risk, and structure financing that supports long-term profitability, making her a trusted resource for owners looking to grow through acquisition or prepare their businesses for a successful exit.

    002: What Buyers and Sellers Get Wrong in PM Acquisitions with Patrick Hurley

    Acquisitions don’t fall apart because of price. They fall apart because of what happens after the LOI. In this episode, I sit down with Patrick Hurley to break down acquisitions from a broker’s point of view — what actually determines whether a deal closes, stalls, or quietly dies in the messy middle. Patrick is a property-management-only business broker and a current PM company owner, which means this conversation stays grounded in real transactions, not theory. We talk candidly about what brokers really look for, how sellers unknowingly sabotage their own exits, why buyer readiness matters more than enthusiasm, and where deals tend to unravel before anyone realizes what’s happening. This is a practical conversation about exposure vs off-market deals, valuation reality, deal structure, retention clauses, financing readiness, and the operational details that quietly carry the most risk. In This Episode Patrick and I talk about: What brokers actually do in PM acquisitions and why representation changes outcomes Why “What’s my company worth?” is the wrong first question for sellers What makes a PM business sellable long before it ever goes to market Why serious buyers must be pre-qualified and how brokers assess readiness The real differences between off-market and brokered deals Common deal-breakers like clawbacks, employee retention clauses, and contract assignability Asset sales vs stock purchases and how risk shifts for buyers and sellers How buyers increase revenue per door without relying on fee increases A critical insurance protection operators should implement now, not later Key Takeaways There is no “standard” PM acquisition — every deal has moving parts. Clean financials and operational clarity create leverage, not just higher multiples. Sellers can’t expect to get paid for future improvements they never implemented. Buyers who come in combative or unprepared usually create bad deals and bad integrations. The strongest operators plan for transition early, even if they are not selling soon. More About PatrickWith more than two decades in real estate and property management, Patrick brings an operator-first perspective shaped by building, acquiring, and operating property management companies, along with real estate brokerages and a property & casualty insurance agency. That firsthand experience positions him to work specifically with property management-focused mergers and acquisitions, helping owners think clearly about growth, succession, and successful exits. He’s known for a straightforward approach, industry specific experience and a strong emphasis on professionalism, execution, and long-term value creation PM Broker Group: www.PMBrokerGroup.com VIP Buyer Sign Up: https://pmbrokergroup.com/vip-buyer-signup Connect With StaceyWebsite: https://www.staceysalyer.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/the.stacey.salyer/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stacey.salyer/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacey-salyer-39254012
