What happens when you fire your property management company? Angel Williams learned the hard way: don't poke the bear on their way out the door. In this episode, Carson sits down with fellow Baylor Bear Angel Williams — longtime investor, coach, and co-founder of The Academy Presents — for an unfiltered look at what diversified real estate investing actually looks like behind the scenes.
Angel and her husband Jason have built a portfolio spanning single-family rentals, multifamily syndications, mobile home park development, and oil & gas — and she's candid about the wins and the losers on both sides.
In this episode: switching property management companies and what can go wrong (and why you shouldn't burn the bridge until you have your records); self-managing vs. third-party PMCs, and why lenders often require an arms-length manager; and why “we're scaling fast” is a red flag in any operator or PMC.
They also dig into developing a resident-owned mobile home community in Waco's best school district as an affordable-homeownership investment thesis; Class A concessions crushing B/C multifamily, LIHTC (low-income housing tax credits), and where the multifamily market goes from here; and oil & gas investing — mineral rights vs. syndications, why producing fields still miss, and the real operating costs nobody talks about.
Angel also makes the case for why going wide across asset classes beats going deep right now, why she'll never sell her single-family portfolio, and the marketing mindset shift she took from Dan Kennedy's No B.S. Marketing to the Affluent.
