Wall Street's Property Manager Boom

Tim from Field Complete shares a story about how Wall Street's response to the 2008 financial crisis transformed the property management industry.

"It all started back in '08 when all the foreclosed homes, or most of them, were bought out by Wall Street and rented. Pair that with the short-term rental Airbnb craze and millennials not being able to or wanting to own - heck, now even VCs are buying real estate portfolios through Adam Neumann. Over 35% of all homes are rented and it's growing.

All these homes need to be professionally maintained by property managers, and property managers use contractors and subcontractors to maintain them. Traditionally contractors would either focus on the residential sector with homeowners or commercial jobs. But with property managers entering the single-family rental scene, contractors are basically forced to either bootstrap their operation or use 7 different apps to run their business, or resort to pen and paper which is basically 80% of contractors today."
