EP 5 – What Property Managers Do Podcast ft. Andrew Dean
In this episode, host Joel Beach sits down with multifamily investor Andrew Dean, who scaled from house-hacking duplexes to owning ~400 units—including 300+ managed in-house across Missouri. Andrew shares the playbook behind his growth: BRRRR and “velocity of money,” choosing between third-party vs. self-management (and how reporting, pre-leasing, and waitlists protect occupancy), and a simple system for slashing maintenance costs with lower approval thresholds and multiple bids. He also breaks down today’s market—rising cap rates, more sellers than buyers, and where pricing may head over the next 12–18 months.
