Stacey sitting on concrete bench - Property Management Acquisition Strategist

If you're reading this, you've already started.

You've thought about buying a company more than once. You've talked yourself out of it more than once. You're back here looking for the version of this that actually feels like yours.

I'm Stacey Salyer. I'm an Acquisition Strategist, and I built this for the operators who are quietly ready for the next chapter and tired of being told to grind harder to get there.

I teach you how to build wealth by acquiring property management companies.

Not through cold emails. Not through high-stakes private equity deals.
But through a clear, relationship-first strategy—grounded in real experience on every side of a transaction.

I’ve built, acquired, and sold my own company.

I've led national M&A teams, sourced more than 1000+ door Property Management deals through relationship-first outreach, and sat in boardrooms where trust, not spreadsheets, was the difference between a yes and a walk. That's the methodology I now install for the operators inside Slayer's Built to Acquire™.

This isn’t just theory. It's a lived expertise.

If you’ve built something from scratch and know there’s a smarter way to grow…
You’re in the right room.

I'm an Acquisition Strategist

I teach leaders how to build wealth by acquiring property management companies.

Not through cold emails. Not through high-stakes private equity deals.
But through a clear, relationship-first strategy—grounded in real experience on every side of a transaction.

I’ve built, acquired, and sold my own company.
I’ve led national M&A teams, closed 1000+ door deals on cold calls, and stepped into boardrooms where trust—not spreadsheets—was the difference-maker.

This isn’t just theory. It's a lived expertise.

If you’ve built something from scratch and know there’s a smarter way to grow…
You’re in the right room.

For the Owner Who’s Ready to Grow Differently

Acquisition isn’t just a strategy. It’s a shift in how you lead.

 

I started my property management company from my living room—

As a single mom rebuilding after a domestic violence divorce, navigating Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and working without a safety net.

No investors.
No financial runway.
Just a deep belief that if I bet on myself, I could build something of value.


 

Four years later, I bought a 350+ door competitor.

The deal was set to close April 1, 2020 — right as the world paused.
We pushed to June to make sure it would hold.
It did.

I closed that acquisition after a cold call, using seller financing and virtually no cash down.
I negotiated it directly—after a cold call..


 

In 2022, I exited in a 7-figure sale.

I stayed on with the national company that acquired my business — and was promoted to Director of Acquisitions.

That meant:

  • Leading a nationwide team
  • Evaluating deals across the U.S.
  • And building the playbooks that shaped how acquisitions happened at scale

 

Sixteen months later, I was promoted again — to Director of Operations.

This role spanned two regions and multiple states.
It required operational command, trust, and precision — in an industry that rarely hands over that level of scope.


 

In 2024, I stepped away — ready to serve leaders directly.

At every level, I saw this industry differently.

The most successful deals weren’t about perfect P&Ls or massive teams.
They were about clarity, creativity, and emotional intelligence in high-trust situations.


 

That’s what I teach inside Slayer's Built to Acquire™.

Because when you know how to structure the right deal —
and when to walk away —
acquisition becomes the most powerful growth tool in your business.

Most people teaching this work in Property Management have done one thing.

They've bought a business, sold one, or helped someone else do it. I've done all four, and I've done it in Property Management specifically.

  • I built it. From my living room, as a single mom.
  • I bought it. A 350+ door competitor, with seller financing, mid-COVID. The deal that taught me everything.
  • I sold it. Seven figures to PURE Property Management, 2022.
  • I evaluated it at scale. 100+ Property Management companies as Director of Acquisitions at PURE.

Operators run companies. Acquirers define markets. Most operators in this industry are quietly burned out from running their company by themselves and quietly hungry to build something that compounds beyond door-by-door growth. They're not missing the will.

They're missing the second engine and the path to install it.

That's what I built Slayer's Built to Acquire™ to do, and that's what I install for every operator who works with me.

My kids are the reason I started this business—and the reason I protect my time, energy, and ownership so fiercely now.

I believe in building a business that works for your life.
Not one that runs you into the ground.

Today, I live in the Pacific Northwest and work closely with leaders across the U.S.
I teach what I’ve lived.
And I help people like you stop grinding for growth—and start acquiring it.

This isn’t just about learning how to buy a company.
It’s about shifting how you lead—and what you believe is possible when you stop operating and start owning.

Where you'll find me offline...

These days, you’ll find me hiking new trails, walking the beach, or chasing sunshine with my husband, our dogs, and whatever audiobook I’m into that week.

My grown kids are my greatest grounding — and travel is how I reset.
