Maximize Property Management Revenue Part 2: Churn, Lifetime Value, and Legislation

Your portfolio isn’t shrinking because you’re “doing it wrong.” It’s shrinking because owner churn averages 20–25 % a year—and most PMs underestimate the leak. In Part 2 of our mini-series, host Marie Tepman (Fourandhalf Marketing Agency) and fee-maxing coach Todd Ortscheid unpack: 1. Real-world churn rates for residential property managers—and why 10 % is the elite benchmark 2. urning Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) into a bigger marketing budget (without raising rents) 3. The “triple-win” resident-benefit model that lowers vacancy instead of driving it up 4. State-by-state regulatory headwinds (CA, OR, CO, NV, NY) and smart work-arounds If you want to increase profit per door and protect revenue from fee caps, this episode is for you. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Intro – Why churn matters more than you think 1:05 What’s a healthy churn rate?
