From Burnout to Boise: How Changing Markets Revived One PM’s Business

It’s not always the tenant who has to move. Join us for a journey that proves how fresh turf can pay big dividends for property managers.

Ever felt unhappy where you are? Feel like you’ve picked the wrong market for the scale you want to achieve? Unable to shake that curiosity you have about another market you keep hearing about?

Then it may be time for a change. But relocating your property management company isn’t as simple as a residential move. Business brokers are expensive. Timelines are tight. A lot of moving parts are involved. And sometimes, you’ve just got to take matters into your own hands, like how PM Chapin Hemphill did.

Chapin has been in property management since 2001 and the president of Keyrenter Boise Property Management since 2022. He built his first office in Silicon Valley but, finding California totally unsustainable for his sanity, sold up in 2021 and ran for the Boise hills.

Strategic PM sat down with Chapin to learn more about his business relocation, how the right partnerships power growth, and what he’d tell other PMs looking to stake their claim in a new market.
