Homeowner Contracts & Retention Risk – Property Managers Focus Point In Valuation

August 13, 2026 by Michael Shea PA

Homeowner churn tells a buyer something about the stability of future revenue.

If you consistently lose 20% of your homeowners every year, a buyer has to replace that revenue just to stand still.

That’s expensive.

If your retention rate is excellent, your buyer has a much more predictable revenue stream.

And predictability is valuable.

Quality of Earnings & Financial Normalization

August 13, 2026 by Michael Shea PA

One of the biggest mistakes I see business owners make when preparing to sell is assuming their tax return tells the entire story.

It doesn’t.

That’s especially true with vacation rental management companies.

The financial statements need to be normalized so a buyer can understand what the business actually earns.

5 Costly Mistakes Instagram “Business Acquisition Gurus” Are Teaching Buyers (And What Real Brokers Know)

August 11, 2026 by Michael Shea PA

They sell courses promising to teach everyday people how to buy a business using “other people’s money,” leveraging sophisticated deal structures to acquire wealth overnight. The problem? The playbooks these influencers are selling are built for middle-market private equity deals, not Main Street businesses.
