Multifamily Streamlined with Leslie Mathis
Thank you for joining Multifamily Streamlined where we will discuss multifamily trends, operations, renovations, leasing, and basically all things multifamily. I am Leslie Mathis, founder of Streamline Multifamily Group. I have created a podcast as a resource to all my apartment friends and family. 22 years ago, I fell into the industry as a Housekeeper while looking for an apartment in Mooresville, NC. I’ve worked my way up from a very entry level position and now I am a Consultant and an Asset Manager. I share this because I’ve walked a mile in most of your shoes and hope you can learn from my missteps, bloopers, wins, and accomplishments. For 2023, my goal is to release 1 podcast per week sharing all things just mentioned, along with a great interview line-up where you can hear from peers, mentors, leaders, and vendors in the industry.

Multifamily Streamlined with Leslie Mathis
From Skeptic to Four Decades in Real Estate - President of Charter Properties Inc., John D. Porter
In this episode, we have a seasoned real estate professional who initially had no interest in the housing industry but agreed to give it a try. Four decades later, he’s still passionate about the ever-changing nature of the business. He shares his experiences from managing on-site, where he learned the importance of viewing real estate as a service industry focused on helping residents. Discover his insights on the importance of taking care of residents, the value of being involved in apartment associations, and the lifelong relationships he’s built along the way. Listen in as he reflects on the value of listening more and gaining insight as tools to chart the way forward.
John D. Porter has successfully developed and managed multi-family and self-storage investment properties for 40 years. Before joining our firm in 1999, he was responsible for development and all property management aspects of a Midwest firm that operated 5,000 apartment units and self-storage rentals.
For Charter, John leads the acquisition and development of residential communities and is a real estate broker in North and South Carolina. His expertise in planning, zoning, and infrastructure development adds valuable insight into projects.
In his free time, John is an avid gardener, golfer, and fisherman who likes to spend time with his wife and raised three awesome children (two boys of color). Helping his family and team reach their goals brings him deep joy. Many don’t know that John is a musician and has traveled to Cuba many times.
