TurboTenant and real estate investor Scott McGillivray are teaming up to bring practical education to small property owners.
For independent landlords, managing a rental property often means balancing investment strategy, maintenance decisions, and day-to-day operations without the support systems larger companies rely on. A new partnership between TurboTenant and Scott McGillivray is designed to address that challenge by providing smaller landlords with practical education focused on smarter rental ownership.
The collaboration brings together TurboTenant’s property management platform and McGillivray’s experience in real estate investing and renovation strategy. Known for his work as host and executive producer of the HGTV series Income Property, McGillivray has spent more than two decades helping homeowners and investors make informed property decisions.
A Broader Approach to Property Management
The partnership reflects a growing demand among independent landlords for support that extends beyond software tools alone. While platforms that simplify rent collection and listings remain important, many smaller property owners are also looking for guidance on how to improve properties strategically and manage investments more effectively over time.
According to TurboTenant, the collaboration will focus on educational content tailored to independent landlords. Topics will include renovation planning, investment decisions, operational improvements, and ways to approach property upgrades with long-term value in mind.
That distinction matters for landlords operating without dedicated teams or outside consultants. For many, decisions about flooring, kitchens, curb appeal, or maintenance schedules directly affect tenant retention, operating costs, and future returns.
Seamus Nally, CEO of TurboTenant, said the company sees education as an important part of helping landlords operate more confidently.
“Independent landlords are the backbone of the rental market, and they deserve access to the same level of expertise as large-scale investors,” Nally states. “Scott has built incredible trust by helping people make smart real estate decisions, and together, we’re bringing that knowledge directly to landlords in a way that’s practical, approachable, and actionable.”
Why McGillivray Fits the Role
McGillivray’s appeal has long centered on making real estate concepts accessible to everyday property owners rather than industry insiders. Across more than 400 television episodes and a portfolio of properties throughout North America, he has focused on helping audiences understand which improvements are worth prioritizing and how renovation choices affect overall property value.
That experience aligns closely with the needs of independent landlords, many of whom are managing one or several rental properties while also handling full-time jobs or other responsibilities.
McGillivray said successful rental ownership depends on more than simply acquiring property.
“Real estate has always been one of the most powerful tools for building long-term wealth, but success as a landlord takes more than just owning property: it takes the right strategy, smart upgrades, and the right support,” he notes. “TurboTenant is giving independent landlords access to tools that make managing rentals simpler and more professional.”
Launching Through Podcast Education
The partnership officially launches with McGillivray appearing on TurboTenant’s Be a Better Landlord podcast, where he discusses today’s rental market and shares advice on renovation and investment decisions that can influence long-term property performance.
For independent landlords, the collaboration signals a broader trend within the rental industry. Property management platforms are increasingly positioning themselves not only as operational tools, but also as educational resources designed to help smaller owners make more informed decisions in a competitive housing market.
