Today’s episode is the first in a two-part series on property management companies. In part one we’ll be focusing on large properties that contain over 100 units. Joining us today to help unpack this expansive topic is Lani B. Porter, Executive Vice President and managing director at CALCAP Properties, a sizable property management company that runs its operations throughout the southwest.
