Send us a text Hello apartment friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast. Well we hit on some heavy topics a few weeks ago and I guess this week will be no different. Because I’ve been coasting lately on a wing and a prayer or perhaps better described as sliding in sideways there’s no road map for the podcast and I just find inspiration from my everyday life. Don’t worry that will change because Streamline now has a business support manager. More to come on that b...
Send us a text Hello apartment friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined Podcast. Last week was a whirlwind. In an effort to be home with my family for more of the week I crammed 3 or 4 days of travel into 2 days and basically utilized the full 48 hours. At no point was I bragging but it honestly just came up in conversation. I flew to Atlanta and my driver which sounds fancy took me to Cherokee North Carolina to speak at a leadership event. We then drove back to Atlanta....
Send us a text Hello Apartment friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with Multifamily Streamlined podcast. Well a few weeks we talked about being heard and not hiding behind something but it’s time to pivot slightly and get back to some of our apartment basics. It’s not secret that I still think 2023 is going to be a tough one operationally. I always say we are coming off an 18 month high of rent growth but the experts remind me it’s truly been a heck of a 10 years for our industry. But when we unpac...
Send us a text Hello apartments friends it’s me Leslie Mathis. So excited to be back here with Melanie Whitlock for her 90 day check in on the road from RPM to Asset Manager. Buck-up this one is a roller coaster ride I take us on with lots of twists and turns.
Send us a text Hello apartment friends it's me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined Podcast. At the last minute I have decided to share the Daily Alignment from 68 Ventures that came out today. Take a listen at what they have to say along with Steve Keating on Human Speed Bumps. It's a great reminder of authentic leadership and the role we play in the bumps in the road for our team. I believe this also sets the stage for next week when we dive into the concession battle. As leaders ...
Send us a text Hello Apartment Friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined Podcast. Well I missed last week because I was traveling on a Monday and basically wasn’t prepared for life and now today I’m pretty sure I am not firing on all cylinders. Crazy I tested positive for Covid last Thursday - still positive but feel basically fine… but it robbed me of attending my Rise Up Girls event, now it cancelled my Charlotte trip where I had a photoshoot for my website scheduled an...
Send us a text Hello Apartment Friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast. As the new year kicks off and we focus on our goals, dreams, and words for the year we are also really focused on getting back to the basics. At both Streamline and Woodfield we feel certain that this year will be all about being good operators and honing our skills especially the basics. As you will probably figure out, I am behind getting this episode done and really had a different plan f...
Send us a text Hello apartment friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast. I hope you all had the merriest Christmas and the Happiest New Year. Cheers to 2023 and all that it may hold for each of us. While I am not naive enough to think we all ended 2022 with a bang and are ready to kick off the new year I am here to encourage you to hit the reset button especially if it’s been a tough one and prepare for the new one. There is something encouraging about a new day,...
Send us a text Hello apartment friends, it’s me LESLIE MATHIS with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast. As 2022 comes to an end it only seems appropriate to take a moment to reflect on the year and prepare for the new year ahead. It’s funny I half wrote last weeks podcast and never finished it due to poor planning, travel, and prep for the holidays. Okay fine the last part is not exactly true. If you know me I don’t prep a lot of the holiday. I gave that up more than 20 years ago because I ha...
Send us a text Hello Apartments friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined Podcast. I put some pretty big words out in the universe last week at the closing of the podcast that I will follow up with a great one. Even as I said it I was a little worried that I might not be able to deliver but I put that thought out of my mind. See I recently just listened to the High Five Habits by Mel Robins and it really goes into the science of how powerful your brain is. In transparency...
Send us a text Hello apartment friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with Multifamily Streamlined podcast. I am so excited to be back with Melanie Whitlock to do a 30 day check-in after transitioning from RPM to asset manager. We unpack the highs, lows, good, bad, and sneak in a few struggles and highlights.

Send us a text Hello apartments friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast. Wow do I have a surprise for you all today. I am so excited to share my interview with Kristina Watts. Her gift is confidence and teaching that to others. She’s an amazingly gifted person and my mentor.
Send us a text Hello apartments friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast. I had an amazing interview ready to share with you all but for a few reasons that will be postponed until next week. During the pivot process, I’ve had on my mind this week a few thoughts I want to share. I’m calling this the Thanksgiving Buffet because you are going to get a little of this and a little of that today… And a whole lot about what I am THANKFUL for. Don’t believe me - just che...
Send us a text Hello apartment friends! It’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast. Months ago I wrote a little snip it for a podcast idea. It literally just said - Be you - unapologetically YOU - as I thought about it I also later added - not a free pass to be a butt hole though. Perhaps it said the other word but I’m consciously trying to clean up my language. But I digress… Anyways I sat on the idea but I as I am working on a few other items this theme kept coming up. L...
Send us a text Hello friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast. Oh my gosh I hope I am getting my mojo back… I’m beyond thrilled to share our very first interview with Melanie Whitlock. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her the last 6.5 years and now she has come on board as the South Carolina and Asheville asset manager for Woodfield and will be working with me at Streamline Multifamily Group as well. We are going to tracking her journey from RPM to asset man...
Send us a text Hello friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast. Still on the struggle bus over here and sliding in sideways but I am determined to get this podcast out. I guess if I am being transparent it’s definitely not my best work lately but I know if I keep showing up it will get better so don’t give up on me. I swear I will find a groove again. I’m certain the interviews will help too. I was determined to corner my dad this week but some how time got away f...
Send us a text Hello friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast. Once again sliding in sideways on a Tuesday pretty empty handed. Not sure what is going on but I’m going to get my mojo back soon. In the meantime Nathan Cox owner of 68 Ventures puts out a daily thought and last week one of them really got my attention. If you aren’t signed up for their daily nugget you need to NOW. While I hate just reading to you some times you have to suck it up and work with what...
Send us a text Hello friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast. Y’all I was doing so good and haven’t missed a Tuesday in so long. Honestly since I recommitted to making the podcast a priority. Now I’m not saying i haven’t coming in sliding sideways late on a Tuesday evening but I made it. Pretty or not - it was posted. Ugh the week just got a little sideways and I have to be honest I was really struggling with what I was going to share this week especially up aga...

Send us a text Hello apartment friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast. So if you following me on social you know I’ve been talking a lot of about budgets. Most of you are knee deep and probably stressed about the due dates and expectations of the budget meetings. I am hosting a class October 4th to discuss how to get your budgets across the finish line with minimal stress and questions but thought perhaps we should discuss briefly today. I promise what I ...
