Andy McQuade
Helping You Create Value
Since 2019, I’ve helped investors, owners and operators add over $6.7 million dollars per year in recurring Net Operating Income and helped create over $111 million dollars in asset value for their portfolios.
All without deferring maintenance or reducing labor headcount.
No one knows what the future holds, but wouldn’t an extra five, six or seven figures in NOI be nice to have?
A few of my clients
In addition to working with my real estate clients, I’ve had the opportunity to offer my insight and opinions on various aspects of the real estate and building materials industries to a diverse array of clients that work and invest in the space.
About Me
I’m Andy,
and I help people do better.
Early in 2019. I left my W-2 job and career in building materials sales leadership to help people improve the performance of their real estate operations.
Little did I know that I would be starting a business just prior to the largest social and economic disruption in modern times.
I quickly found myself pivoting my business model and working with owners and executives in related industries to help them adapt to the new normal while preparing for the future.
Change is hard, but it's a necessary part of growth.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again while expecting a different outcome.

About The TCO Method ®
After over 25 years working with dozens of commercial multifamily operators, I saw patterns of common problems shared across the industry from coast to coast.
Many of the problems I saw are avoidable, but for some reason, they keep happening. The reason? A lack of understanding the fundamental cause of the problem at the decision-making level, either in the field or in the c-suite…sometimes both.
The rule of “5 Whys” comes into play in every single instance. Simply fixing an issue when it occurs instead of avoiding it altogether in a business where every dollar in NOI creates $16-$20 in asset value should make this a priority for every single operator to get a handle on.
The TCO Method® brings the answers to the “Why” into focus and changes decision making from “lowest cost today” to “Lowest Total Cost of Ownership”.
That laminate flooring may be a dollar cheaper per square foot, but having to repair and replace that floor every time there’s a leak, a spill, or a tenant with wet, snow-covered boots adds thousands of dollars in expenses you didn’t need.
There are countless examples of this running rampant in the industry, and it’s generally chalked up to “the cost of doing business”. I’m not a fan of stacking cash, soaking it with gasoline and tossing a lit match on it…but that’s essentially what’s happening.
The TCO Method® helps your team end “the cost of doing business” excuse and puts significant dollars to the bottom line, improving Net Operating Income and freeing up cashflow.
Nothing in The TCO Method® is a secret, or an exclusive solution that only the most elite operators have access to.
I created my framework off of the examples and solutions to these issues that my customers, clients, and friends in the industry use every single day – but no single operator had them all.
Why?
They didn’t have access to the inner workings of dozens of operators in the same business that allowed me to see the patterns and the various solutions to the problem that their competitors and peers were using.
Sometimes, the simplest and most obvious answer to the problem is to avoid the problem altogether….but you can’t avoid what you don’t know is actually avoidable.
The TCO Method® creates that clarity and transparency .
