Welcome back to the show and another edition of our Asset Management Fridays! Here to talk about her management process, systems and style is Maureen Miles from 4M Capital. As a returning guest, Maureen has so much to offer, with success in many avenues of real estate having branched out from a simple investment team to a multi-faceted company taking care of almost all areas of the business. For Maureen, this was a necessity after the frustrations of working with contractors who did not deliver — so she decided to handle it all! During our chat, she gives some great tips, including making sure that you are the signer on all your accounts to avoid being locked out of your money! We talk about the operations manual that is available to new employees at 4M and Maureen tells us about the software stack they use and how they are hoping to upgrade areas of it. We get into some future aspirations and our wonderful guest explains why she loves challenging deals that need some work! For all this and a bunch more from us here at the show, tune in!
