Interest rates, mortgages, and refinancing are the backbone of smart investing and successful property management.
Understanding these financial components can significantly impact your approach to property management and investment and can distinguish you as a property manager in a competitive market - and in this episode we go over exactly that!
I chat with Aaron Christie - David founder of Atlia Wealth and a respected mortgage broker and educator. Aaron is highly qualified and has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the Finance Industry. He shares with us how understanding finance and investing can elevate property management and emphasises the importance of knowledge in interest rates and refinancing for building trust and strong relationships with clients. We dive into strategies to help property managers elevate their role, assist investors with refinancing, and maximise portfolio growth.
We explore:
Why property managers are often the missing link in an investor’s success strategyHow asking the right questions, like “What’s your investment strategy?” can position you as a trusted advisorWhy refinancing isn’t just about interest rate and how it’s about unlocking equity and opening doors to new investment opportunitiesHow property managers can proactively support refinancing by reviewing rents and providing rental appraisal lettersHow interest rates directly impact borrowing capacity and how property managers can add value by ensuring rents reflect current market conditionsWhat you need to know about rental shading and its effect on investors’ financial positionsTips for finding the right mortgage broker and developing a strong referral relationshipWhy it’s essential to collaborate with brokers who understand the investor mindset and growth strategies“ As you look across the country, there's some absolute weapons of brokers, probably in your neck of the woods. And so you'd be able to find them out, speak to the real estate agents. They'll know who the best is in the local area”

In the fast-paced world of property management, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by daily challenges. Whether it's dealing with difficult tenants, navigating market fluctuations, or managing an unexpected maintenance crisis, the hurdles can seem endless.
Here’s a crucial truth: success often lies not in controlling every situation, but in how we react to those situations. As property managers and business owners, taking ownership of our choices becomes a vital practice. It’s about letting go of the burdens we can’t change and focusing on what’s within our control. This shift is essential not only for the success of your business but also for your overall well-being.
In this episode, I chat with Amanda Wiapo, the Director and Property Manager at Homely Property Management in New Zealand. She shares her extensive experience in managing properties across Marlborough, Auckland, and the Manawatu region. Amanda discusses the power of choice and reaction in day-to-day property management, emphasising the importance of mindset, decision-making, and accepting what cannot be controlled.
Amanda’s journey, including her personal challenges, has shaped her into an exceptional property manager. She provides strategies for navigating the complexities of the profession:
“As long as you are controlling the communication, and setting those expectations with everyone, and being honest to every party, you have done your job. So you should be able to walk out at the end of the day, and go, ‘I've done everything I can, and putting that aside now, it's not going to affect the rest of my day, it's not going to affect my sleep. I've done my job.’”
— Amanda Wiapo
We explore:Current market trends, including rent reductions and shifts in tenant behaviourAffordability challenges and market dynamics compared between New Zealand and AustraliaHandling awkward conversations with tenants and strategies for setting expectations with rental pricing and communicating price reductions effectivelyThe importance of consistent updates and maintaining transparency with property ownersWhy being proactive and honest in communication builds trust and prevents issuesHow to avoid carrying unnecessary emotional burdens from work challenges and the importance of taking a moment to process before reacting in difficult situationsUsing legislation as a guide for resolving conflicts between owners and tenantsApproaching high-conflict situations with empathy, a plan, and face-to-face communicationWhy every challenge in property management has a solution, and how to stay solution-focusedConnect with Amanda Wiapo

AI is no longer just a buzzword in property management—it's here, and it's transforming how the industry operates.
From automating routine tasks to setting new standards for accuracy, AI is an essential tool for property managers looking to boost efficiency, reduce errors, and improve client service.
Whether you’re part of a large agency or running a small portfolio, embracing AI can help you stay competitive and grow your business.
In this episode we chat with Kelly Dickens from Inspection Express and who is a leader in PropTech and she shares with us how AI isn’t here to replace the human element in property management but to enhance it.
From streamlining property inspections to automating condition reports, AI is making property managers' jobs easier, faster, and more efficient. With technology advancing so quickly, now is the perfect time to explore how AI can benefit your business.
“AI is dramatically reducing the time it takes on those non-dollar productive tasks, which frees us up as property managers to spend time on those dollar productive tasks, whether it’s growing the business or building that rapport with your clients.” - Kelly Dickens
We explore:
- How AI technology is transforming tasks like condition reports, reducing the time it
takes to complete a full report
- How AI is Reducing Non-Revenue Tasks with AI being able to handle time-consuming
tasks, property managers can now focus on dollar-productive activities
- How the AI tool in Inspection Xpress ensures consistent and accurate condition reports,
minimizing human error and providing a standard output across all properties
- How to see AI as a productivity tool and keeping an open mind so you can stay
competitive in the industry and also freeing up time
- Kelly’s predictions about the future of AI in property management, including the
possibility of drones and other technologies changing how inspections and other tasks
are conducted

In the world of Property Management, not setting boundaries from the start can lead to and create problems from tenant expectations and property owners demanding more than what’s reasonable.
A lack of boundaries can create stress, inefficiency and can lead to burnout and without the ability to say no and set firm boundaries from the get-go property managers often find themselves overwhelmed, constantly putting out fires and struggling to maintain work life balance.
This then becomes an issue that affects not only their professional life but their personal life as well. Learning how to say no and set strong boundaries is essential in the property management industry and can either make or break your success.
In this episode we unpack this further and I chat with Christine who has her own agency and has managed rent rolls from 100 properties through to over 1000 properties. Property Management is where Christine's passion lives and she strives to ensure her landlord clients are in control of their investment journey. Strong communication and setting boundaries with landlords and tenants is the key to Christine's success, and respecting all interests of parties involved ensures a smooth tenancy process.
“ if you don't feel that the landlord's got a rapport with you, or he's not doing the things you're asking to do for the betterment of the property or the tenancy, don't take on the management. And don't be afraid to say no. Good quality rent rolls are chosen by picky property managers. So be picky. If that's what you need to do, be picky” - Christine Rengger
We explore:
- Christine’s transition from receptionist to business owner in the real estate industry
- Challenges Christine has faced with staff, managing a large rent roll with minimal help and how she overcame the challenges to still be here as a real estate business owner
- The importance of clearly communicating and setting key boundaries with property owners and clients
- How to manage tenant behaviour and property owner expectations effectively
- Clarifying the misconceptions about property managers roles in tenant disputes
- How to onboard new clients with detailed agreements and setting clear expectations
- Balancing work and personal life as a working parent by setting firm boundaries
