Managing your Investment Property Doesnt Need To Be Hard
So, you own an investment property and are on your way to financial success. You know that finding good tenants and maintaining a great tenant relationship is essential. Let’s be honest, your investment property is likely worth ten times or more than your yearly rental returns. But you can’t just leave it empty while still paying the mortgage.
You have communication skills, know how to work with others, and can handle simple spreadsheets and numbers. But everyone keeps saying, “You need to use a property manager. They’re the experts; you can’t be a successful investor without one.”
Sure, great property managers are invaluable. However, no one will care more about your investment property and its success than you, the investor. Are you like me—someone who HATES not being in the loop? If you manage your own investment property, you’ll resolve any communication issues between you and your property manager. Never worry about being kept in the dark again.
You’ve considered managing your own property but don’t know where to start. You don’t want to miss anything, make mistakes, or end up with thousands of dollars in property damage. How do property managers prevent this? What’s their secret that you haven’t yet discovered?
The reality is, managing a property isn’t rocket science. It takes a little time investment, systems, and processes. If you can own an investment property and follow simple step-by-step instructions, there’s nothing stopping 99% of property investors from managing their own investment property.

How Landlords Just Like You leverage Inspections and Maintenance to Avoid Costly Repairs and Increase Capital Value
- Retain tenants – manage your maintenance. As investors we are all aware of the costs when a property does not receive ongoing general maintenance, and repairs are not acted upon straight away. BUT What about the costly loss of good tenants frustrated from their property manager’s inactivity, Neglected tenants vote with their feet and this costs you money.
- Happy ‘A grade’ tenants pay more! Happy tenants are more likely to renew each year, helping to avoid costly vacancies, advertising and letting costs, and tenants who receive good service are more likely to accept regular reasonable rent rises if they believe they have been well-treated. They are also more likely to look after your home as if it were their own.
- The #1 Reason: According to industry surveys, the number ONE reason given by
dissatisfied, departing tenants for not renewing their lease is ignored
or incomplete requests for maintenance. How would you feel if you
had to wait days for a drain to be unclogged, or the air conditioner to be
repaired?

Regan Leatch
Hi, I'm Regan Leatch, and my journey in the real estate industry has been both rewarding and transformative. After a successful career as a Property Manager, Operations Manager, and Principal of Coral Sea Property Services, I have developed a deep understanding of property management and investment stratergies.
Throughout my career, I've navigated the challenges of significant events like the 2019 Townsville floods and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, adapting to evolving market conditions and operational hurdles. These experiences, combined with my role as a keynote speaker at industry conferences across Australia and New Zealand, have equipped me with unique insights into effective property management.
Now, my passion lies in empowering landlords to manage their properties with confidence and ease. At Self Manager Academy, I leverage my extensive experience and success to teach landlords how to take control of their property management, offering them the tools and skills needed to effectively oversee their investments.
At Self Manager Academy, our mission is to provide landlords with the tools and skills to effectively and easily manage their own properties. After 7+ years working in real estate I have come to understand that some property owners would simply prefer to manage their own propeties, whether for financial, communication or personal reasons. Whereas this has previously been stigmatised, the reality is many owners are more than capable of doing this. The Self Manager Academys is about helping these landlords have a positive and profitable self management ecxperience by providing guidence, training, systems and tools that help them self manage their property.
Having built a multi-property portfolio, I understand the challenges investors face. I've shared my insights as a keynote speaker at conferences across Australia and New Zealand, and now I'm dedicated to helping you achieve your investment property goals.
Join me at Self Manager Academy, and let's work together to make managing your investment property simple and financially rewarding.
