Your 95% occupancy report might be lying to you.

On paper, a property can look perfectly healthy: full units, collected rent, standard fees. But when you look closer, you might find an asset that is slowly bleeding out.

On this episode, Pablo Gonzalez sits down with Paul McKay, a "property management data detective" who has analyzed over 500 portfolios to find the truth behind the numbers.

Paul shares how “good-looking” reports can hide the real story: where money slips out, why small behaviors (like how maintenance gets handled) predict bigger failures, and what to fix now if you don’t want a surprise valuation gut-punch later.

You’ll learn:
💡 Why high physical occupancy often hides low economic performance.
🛠️ The invisible incentives that reward chaos
📉 Why it takes 12–24 months to fix a refinance problem
🤖 Why high physical occupancy often hides low economic performance.

🎧 Listen now if you want to stop getting blindsided by “green dashboards” and start running your properties like the profit engine they’re supposed to be.
