EP 195 - Scaling a Real Estate Business That Thrives Without You w/ Mark Horton II
Show Notes

The entrepreneur’s dream is to build a self-sustaining business, one where you can step away, even leave for weeks or months at a time, and still see it thrive. Mark Horton II achieved just this in his property management business, Pineland Property Management, thanks to military-grade discipline and efficient systems.

In this episode, he talks about the strategic decision to cross-train employees and cap his property management company.
