Ep 13 | Creating An Investor Minded Property Management Team Culture - Jim Shonts' Approach

What if your property management team thought like investors? What if they weren’t just managing homes, but actively building their own portfolios?

In this episode of Property Management Frame Breakers, host Pablo Gonzalez sits down with Jim Shonts, a top-performing franchise owner at PMI, to explore how he’s cultivated a team of investment-minded professionals—people who understand their clients because they are the client.

They discuss:
✅ Why hiring real estate investors—or future investors—gives your business an unfair advantage.
✅ How Jim encourages his employees to start their own investment journeys.
✅ The impact of building an investor-first culture within your company.
✅ Why the most successful property managers think beyond rent collection and maintenance.

If you’re a property manager looking to level up your team, your business, and your own investment game, this is the episode for you.
