In this episode of the Gold Coast Podcast, host Eric Winegard sits with Harlan Miller, Owner of HG Property Management, a veteran property manager and real estate broker who’s been in the industry since 1998, with experience owning and managing real estate across Minneapolis, Phoenix, and West Palm Beach.
Harlan specializes in property management for real estate investors, with a niche focus on condos in Palm Beach County. They break down what “professional management” actually looks like: protecting the owner, delivering five-star maintenance for tenants, and running a tight operation grounded in Florida Statute 83, lease enforcement, and fair housing best practices.
They also dive into:
Why most real estate is still owned by “mom-and-pop” investors
The mindset shift that happens when people buy their first home
The “puzzle vs chess” analogy for doing business the right way
Why Harlan is bullish on West Palm Beach (development, leadership, and growth)
Long-term rentals vs short-term rentals (including Eric’s Airbnb horror stories)
Tenant screening, eviction process, and how to reduce risk as an investor
If you’re a real estate investor—or thinking about buying your first rental—this one is packed with practical insights.
