Having a Strong Property Management Platform with Cory Friedman from Kompas

What if tenant problems weren't solved with calls—but with clear expectations from day one?

In this episode, I sit down again with Cory Friedman to explore the art of tenant management and how landlords can avoid most conflicts before they even start. Cory shares why detailed lease annexes and building rules are essential, how setting expectations upfront creates healthier relationships, and why responsiveness is the number one tool to de-escalate unreasonable requests.

We dive into the systems behind managing over 2,000 units, from work orders to accounting, and how Kompas Property Management software was built to turn daily headaches into streamlined workflows. Cory also opens up about his entrepreneurial journey—what he's learned from failure, why he built Kompas as an operator first, and how mindset makes the difference when scaling both a company and a portfolio.

Tune in to learn why tenant management is really about trust, structure, and accountability—and how the right systems can help you grow with confidence.
