In this brief video, Mendell Gosnell, CPM, addresses property owners who have not hired a professional asset manager. He asserts that in the absence of an external manager, the owner themselves becomes the asset manager, meaning all strategic decisions and responsibilities fall on them. Gosnell emphasizes that owners must develop a long‑term strategy and clearly define what success looks like for their real‑estate portfolio, as only the owner fully understands their goals and can align actions accordingly.
