Ep 44 | Turning The PM Skillset Into A Fund Building Machine w/ Nicholas Cook

What happens when a seasoned property manager decides the best way to serve clients (and his team) is to become an investor?

In this episode of Property Management Frame Breakers, Pablo Gonzalez, Chief Evangelist of Vendoroo, sits down with an operator who’s making the bold leap from third-party property management to long-term syndication and ownership.

The goal? Solve client churn, create equity opportunities for employees, and build forever cash-flowing assets.

You’ll learn:

🏚️ Why short-term deals create long-term pain and how a “forever hold” strategy changes everything
🧭 How reorienting your team’s mission unlocks buy-in, trust, and transformational culture
🤝 What it takes to offer employees equity in real estate and the legal moves to make it happen
🐢 Why slow, strategic investing is the real secret to building compounding wealth

🎧 Listen now to discover how property management can be more than a job. It can be the foundation of generational wealth.
