What does it take to grow a property management company to 600 doors and what happens when you hit the wall?

In this episode, Marc Cunningham sits down with David Normand of Vendoroo to break down his journey from scaling a property management company from under 100 doors to 600 in just a few years. David shares the simple four-word tagline that fueled that growth "Dave is your guy" and why trust, not technology, is still the foundation of winning owner clients.

But growth came with a cost.

At 600 doors, David hit the same problem most operators face: how do you scale yourself? That challenge led him down a path into workflow design, systems thinking, and ultimately AI-powered maintenance solutions.

This conversation dives into how AI is transforming property management maintenance from 24/7 work order handling to automated triage, vendor coordination, and improved owner communication. It also explores the real operational pain points property managers face and how technology can solve them without replacing the human element.

If you're trying to grow your portfolio, reduce maintenance headaches, or understand how AI fits into your business, this episode delivers both strategy and real-world application.

How do you market to new clients without spending hours creating content or getting stuck on camera?

In this episode, Marc Cunningham sits down with Brent Holmes of Clockwork Media to explore how AI-generated video is changing the way property managers attract and convert new owner clients.

Marc has long emphasized the importance of educational video in building trust and generating leads, but execution has always been the biggest hurdle. Brent explains how AI avatar technology removes that barrier completely, allowing property managers to create professional, high-quality videos without filming, editing, or production headaches.

From creating a digital version of yourself to using a custom avatar, this approach makes it easier than ever to produce consistent marketing content. They also discuss how video can be used beyond marketing supporting owner education, tenant communication, and internal training.

If you've struggled to create video content or have avoided it altogether, this episode shows how to finally execute and use video as a true growth tool for your business.

What are the biggest opportunities in property management right now and are you missing them?

In this episode, Marc Cunningham sits down with Peter Lohmann, owner of RL Property Management (750 doors) and founder of the Crane community for property management business owners. Peter shares lessons from the opportunities he wished he had pursued earlier from buying more rental homes after the 2008 housing crash to going all-in on social media platforms early.

But this conversation isn't about regrets, it's about recognizing the next opportunities before they pass you by.

Marc and Peter discuss how business owners should think about their real job as CEO, why stepping away from the day-to-day operations is essential for long-term growth, and how Peter's "Crane Break" concept encourages property managers to fully disconnect from their business to unlock new ideas and leadership growth.

They also explore emerging opportunities around AI, knowledge sharing, and industry collaboration along with Peter's vision behind Crane, a private community designed to help experienced property managers grow faster and build time freedom.

If you're stuck in the daily grind of property management, this episode is a powerful reminder to lift your head up, look for opportunities, and press the advantage when you find them.
