Property Management

[Devang Patel]

To be considered a property manager, what are the general qualifications?  Do you have to become licensed?  

If one were to decline hiring a property manager, are there any property management courses a landlord could take to self manage successfully?

I can't think of a single state that requires a license to manage your own properties, though.  The above is just if you manage properties for other people.  I don't know of any courses not designed for real estate agents, but Mr. Landlord is a great source, and I would check out the books on the BP reading list that are written for landlords.

Thank you for this post, the link you provided was very helpful.
