Trust But Verify; Property Manager Pitfalls

In this eye-opening episode of Nailed It: The Construction and Real Estate Finances Podcast, hosts Jeremy Bottlinger and Ian Grove dive into the wild world of property managers who might be fleecing you—or just clueless. They share horror stories of fraud, like a manager swiping $36,000 by fudging owner statements, and stress the mantra “trust but verify.” From dodgy trust accounting to inflated lawn service invoices, they urge listeners to scrutinize statements, demand receipts, and lean on savvy CPAs to spot red flags. Don’t let your beer money vanish—verify those numbers or cry over spilt brew!
