In part two of this episode, host Lee Rosenfeld sits down with Jasmine Quirk, Head of Property Management at Matt Black Property, who brings over 12 years of real estate experience to the table. Together, they dive deep into the world of property management, uncovering what landlords often get wrong, what tenants really want, and the strategies that separate successful property investors from the rest.

This episode tackles some of the biggest challenges in property management, starting with the common mistakes investors make when relying too heavily on sales agents for rental appraisals. Jasmine explains why the very first inspection is the most important one of a tenancy and how it sets the tone for the entire rental relationship. The discussion also explores how landlords can build stronger, more trusting connections with their tenants—an approach that not only protects rental income but also preserves the long-term value of the property.

Lee and Jasmine cover the dangers of unrealistic rental estimates and how investors can safeguard their purchases, the hidden costs of property ownership and why every landlord needs a rainy-day fund, as well as the critical role that timely, high-quality repairs play in shaping tenant satisfaction and long-term returns. Jasmine closes off with how the frequency and quality of inspections can make or break the condition and therefore, the value of a property.

Whether you’re a seasoned investor, a first-time landlord, or simply curious about the rental market, this conversation shines a light on the strategies and pitfalls that define successful property management.
