Financial Interest Disclosure

I talk about a lot of companies in this industry - on the podcast, in the newsletter, on social media, and inside Crane. Some of them I’m just a happy customer of or genuinely interested in, some of them pay me for ads, some I’m a shareholder in, and some I have affiliate deals with.

You deserve to know which is which.

This page lists my financial relationships with companies in the property management industry. I'll make every effort to update it whenever something changes. If I mention a company anywhere in my content and they're on this list, it may be tied to my financial connections, even if I don't call it out in that specific post or episode. (It may also just be that I like what they're doing, or they came out with something interesting. Either way, at least you know where I stand.)
