Episode Synopsis

What if growing your rent roll wasn’t about more doors but about smarter numbers?Many property management business owners get caught in the growth trap chasing more properties without realising that profit per property is the true measure of success. If you’re serious about building a sustainable, sellable, and profitable rent roll, understanding and improving your AAMI (Average Annual Management Income) is non negotiable - AAMI is one of the most important metrics every business owner should be tracking.If you’ve ever focused more on “how many properties” you manage instead of how profitable each one is, this episode is going to be a game changer!We chat with  Aaron Emery who is a property management strategist and business consultant with nearly two decades of hands-on experience in the real estate industry. He works closely with agencies to improve operational efficiency, profitability, and team performance delivering tailored solutions through operational audits, rent roll due diligence, and growth focused business planning. Aaron specialises in uncovering new revenue opportunities, cutting unnecessary costs, and supporting agency owners through expansion, diversification, and performance improvement. Aaron breaks down AAMI in simple terms what it means, how it impacts the value of your business, and the practical ways to improve it, especially if you’re thinking about selling your rent roll. From setting smarter fees to tightening up your systems and charging for the services you’re already providing, this conversation is packed with real world examples you can start implementing.“  Always go in as high as you possibly can in your marketplace with your management fees. It stands to reason. If you have a combination of low management fees and lower rents, well then your double a MI is not going to be very high. So the two main focus areas should be a decent management fee. I always like to aim for around that 7%. But of course that's going to determine where you are in Australia and what your average might be for the area. But just aim to always get the absolute highest management fee that you can get” -Aaron EmeryWe explore:What AAMI (Average Annual Management Income) actually is and why it matters for your businessHow to calculate AAMI in your own business The difference between management revenue and auxiliary fees and how both affect rent roll valueSmart strategies to increase AAMI without adding more doorsCommon income leaks in rent rolls and how to fix themWhy auditing your rent roll regularly can dramatically increase profit and prevent lossAaron’s top auxiliary fees to add (and what agencies are currently charging across Australia)What buyers look for when assessing your rent roll and how to prepare in advanceHow Aaron’s free AAMI calculator can help you track your income potential right nowKylie’s Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership:...
