Property Management Secrets: Reducing Delinquencies, Tenant Psychology & Turning Around Underperforming Properties with Craig Marquardo

Property Management Secrets: Reducing Delinquencies, Tenant Psychology & Turning Around Underperforming Properties with Craig Marquardo

Underperforming properties are where the biggest money is made—if you know how to fix them. That's where expert property management comes in.

In this episode, Brian speaks with Craig Marquardo, VP of Multifamily at VCS Property Management, who has over 20 years of experience cleaning up operations, boosting tenant retention, and maximizing NOI. Craig pulls back the curtain on how property managers really operate and what every owner needs to know to protect their investment.

You'll learn:

  • Tenant Psychology: How residents think about rent increases and what keeps them paying on time.

  • Reducing Delinquencies: Why 80% of late rent is due to management neglect—and how to fix it.

  • Spotting Red Flags: How to audit your management company and avoid hidden fees, sloppy files, and missing leases.

  • Owner Oversight: Why annual administrative reviews are just as important as physical inspections.

  • Development Mistakes: Why property managers should be involved before you break ground to avoid costly design flaws.

  • AI in Property Management: How Craig uses automation to improve tenant communication without losing the personal touch.

Craig emphasizes that property managers aren't just caretakers—they're investment managers. And the best results come when owners and managers treat the relationship as a true partnership.
