How much a property manager make
Hello BP community,
Moving to Houston area and I am curious on how much a property manager make in the that area? talking about someone working for a company.
I feel it is the best way to learn how manage properties for future investment while making some money.

an unlicensed assistant may make around $35K if they are a good worker. Licensed PM $45K-55K and up. Cudos for wanting to learn about property management but unless you are just unemployed and needing a job why in the hell would you waste months or years learning about PM when those same months or years can spent actually investing?
Quit worrying about being the perfect PM and get out and buy property. You hire others to do what you cannot do or is not productive to do. I personally love to do rehabs. The actual physical swinging hammers, installing cabinets, etc. but I stopped doing that years ago because it's not profitable. I'm far more valuable as a deal maker finding, putting together and negotiating deals. Even though I love the other stuff I can hire that out far cheaper. Property Management is no different. You could do management for 20 years and still be learning. Hire experts in their field and let them do their job. You do only those jobs that absolutely must be done by you. I'll now climb down from my soap box...
