67: From Broke to Bootstrapping Renters Warehouse with Brenton Hayden Nov 21, 2018

Show notes

Today, I'm talking with Brenton Hayden, the founder of Renters Warehouse and a true OG in the property management industry.

Before there were rollup plays like HomeRiver, before VCs were dropping tens of millions to back companies like mine, before anyone in high finance could even be bothered to think about little old property management, Brenton Hayden was dreaming and scheming about how to build an empire in this sleepy little industry.

I've known Brenton for awhile now. Brenton originally came on my radar screen, actually by hearing some competitor in his market kind of complain about him and his success and his swagger, and the fact that he was young and had a growing company.

And, "How did he deserve that?"

Which was interesting. It was a mental note for me.

Then I met the guy. I got to know him, got to learn more about what he was doing, and it's been fun to watch his success.

So, you know who Renters Warehouse is if you're listening to this right now, it requires no explanation.

The company's blown up since Brenton departed. Brenton took an early retirement at the age of 27, but he's taken some time out of his busy non-schedule to jump on this podcast.
