Before you start planning for 2027, take a good look at where your business is now.

By September, you should have enough information to know what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs your attention before the end of the year.

Take a health check across these key areas:

Business Plan: Are you where you planned to be?
Goals: What have you achieved, and what is still outstanding?
Team: Do you have the right people, capacity and leadership?
Systems: Are they supporting efficiency or creating more work?
Processes: Are they being followed, and are they still effective?
Profitability: Do you know which areas of your business are actually profitable?
Client Retention: Are you giving your clients reasons to stay?
Growth: Is your growth sustainable and profitable?

A business health check isn’t about finding everything that’s wrong. It’s about identifying what needs attention while you still have time to act.

Don’t wait until January to decide what needs to change.
Which area needs the most attention in your business before year-end?

Are you planning to grow your rent roll in 2027?
Have you considered the capacity your business has to manage the growth you envisage?
This is particularly important if you’re planning an acquisition. If you don’t have the capacity to manage the growth, it can be detrimental for your team.

Additional properties, especially bulk numbers at any one time means:
More inspections.
More maintenance.
More conversations and sometimes they are more difficult conversations.
More compliance.
More emails.
More decisions.
More responsibility.

So, when you're planning your 2027 growth strategy, ask:
What will this growth mean for my team?
Will we need more people?
Will we need more training and what kind of training?
Do we need to update our systems?
Do we need different and/or more software?
Do we have adequate leadership in place to support the team?

Growth shouldn't mean your best people simply have to work harder to keep up. That is something that can make the best people leave.

Growth should create a stronger business, not an exhausted team. Your team won’t want growth at their expense. Take them on the journey so they want to grow with you.

What did you tolerate in your business this year that you don’t want to tolerate next year?

Sometimes the biggest opportunities for improvement aren’t new ideas.

They’re the things you already know aren’t working.
The inefficient process everyone works around.
The service you know you’re undercharging for.
The software you’re paying for but barely using.
The task that takes hours because “that’s how we’ve always done it.”
The problem that keeps getting pushed to next month.

Before you start setting new goals for 2027, identify what you don’t want to carry with you.

Ask yourself:
What is costing us unnecessary time or money?
What causes frustration again and again?
What have we outgrown?
What needs to change before we enter another year?

You don’t have to fix everything today.
But you do need to stop accepting things simply because they’ve become normal.

What are you leaving behind in 2026?

In this episode of The PM Pour, host Kylie Lange sits down with industry authority Ashleigh Goodchild, a veteran WA business owner with over 1,200 properties under management, founder of the PM Collective, and creator of Coffee & Conversations.

Ash shares her journey of starting a real estate business at age 23, her forward-thinking approach to industry changes (like upcoming energy rating regulations), and why she prefers "random leadership" over rigid staff meetings. She also opens up about handling team resignations through portfolio absorption and creating brand-new agency roles to handle high-stress tenant escalations.

In this episode:

✅ Starting and scaling a business early with long-term family flexibility in mind
✅ The danger of "collecting minutes" vs. outsourcing specialized business tasks
✅ Why Ash shuns standard monthly one-on-ones for "random leadership" and spontaneous perks
✅ Creating specialized agency roles (like a Compliance & Escalation Officer) to protect PM mental health
✅ How Coffee & Conversations fosters authentic, local peer-to-peer learning

Being busy all year doesn’t necessarily mean your business moved forward. So, what have you actually achieved in 2026?

I’m not talking about how many problems you solved, how many hours your team worked or even how many properties you added to the rent roll. I’m talking about what actually improved the business.

Did your profitability improve? Did you review your fees? Did you remove inefficient processes? Did your customer service reviews change? Did you reduce risk, improve retention and the well being of your team?

These are the questions worth asking because growth isn’t just about adding more properties. A stronger property management business should become more efficient, more profitable and more valuable as it grows. However, in order to tick all of these boxes we have to consider the people. The people within the business, the people the business serve and the people who touch the business.

And if you can’t clearly identify what improved this year, that tells you something too.

There are still a few months left in 2026, so the question now is: what needs to change to make sure your business finishes the year stronger than it started?

More properties. More clients. More emails. More activity.
On paper, it can look like growth.

But more work doesn’t automatically mean a stronger business.

The real questions are:
Did your profitability improve?
Did your systems become more efficient?
Did your team become more productive?
Did you create more capacity, or simply fill every available hour?
Did the extra activity actually improve your bottom line?

Being busy can feel like progress, but the numbers often tell a different story.

As you review 2026, don’t just look at how much you did.
Look at whether the business actually became better.

Because sustainable growth isn’t about doing more for the sake of it. It’s about building a business that performs better as it grows.

If your 2026 Business Plan hasn’t been looked at since the beginning of the year, now is the time to pull it back out.

A business plan isn’t something you create in January and review in December. It should tell you whether the decisions you’re making throughout the year are actually moving the business forward.

Look at what you committed to achieving in 2026. What have you completed? What is still in progress? What hasn’t been touched? More importantly, what impact have those goals had on the business?

Has profitability improved? Have you addressed fees and undercharging? Have you created better efficiencies within the department? Has your rent roll grown sustainably? Have you reduced risk, improved retention or strengthened the value of the business?

2 months left in the year. That’s enough time to make meaningful changes, but only if you know where the gaps are and decide which priorities actually matter.

Some goals may no longer be relevant, and that’s fine. What matters is making that decision intentionally rather than carrying an unfinished list into another year without questioning why it wasn’t achieved.

September isn’t too early to start planning for 2027. Waiting until December may be too late.

If you want support reviewing your property management business, identifying the gaps and putting a clear plan in place for stronger performance and growth, get in touch.
