Multifamily Streamlined with Leslie Mathis
Thank you for joining Multifamily Streamlined where we will discuss multifamily trends, operations, renovations, leasing, and basically all things multifamily. I am Leslie Mathis, founder of Streamline Multifamily Group. I have created a podcast as a resource to all my apartment friends and family. 22 years ago, I fell into the industry as a Housekeeper while looking for an apartment in Mooresville, NC. I’ve worked my way up from a very entry level position and now I am a Consultant and an Asset Manager. I share this because I’ve walked a mile in most of your shoes and hope you can learn from my missteps, bloopers, wins, and accomplishments. For 2023, my goal is to release 1 podcast per week sharing all things just mentioned, along with a great interview line-up where you can hear from peers, mentors, leaders, and vendors in the industry.
