Episode: Interview with John Scribante of RPM Viking

This week, we sit down with John Scribante, owner of Real Property Management Viking, one of the most respected property-management firms in the Twin Cities. John started RPM Viking after a career in scaling operationally intense businesses, and he brings that same systems-driven mindset to managing hundreds of doors across Minneapolis and St. Paul. In this conversation, he breaks down what separates great operators from struggling ones, where investors get tripped up, and what truly matters when you’re building a portfolio in today’s market.

What stands out most about John is his calm, analytical approach to chaos. He’s dealt with every imaginable tenant, repair nightmare, and legal curveball — yet he approaches each situation with data, structure, and a kind of “nothing surprises me anymore” confidence that only comes from decades of reps. This episode gives investors a rare look into how a top-tier property manager thinks, and how aligning incentives can save you thousands in mistakes and stress.
