Starting a Property management, needing a license (FL)
I understand there is a requirement to be licensed real estate agent to be able to manage other properties in FL.
Is it enough for the property management company to have hired a part time or 1099 a licensed agent only for this purpose?
Is there a requirement that the management company owner must be licensed OR must you be or employ full time a real estate agent on your team?
Thanks

My question was , technically, how do go about starting a property management without me needing become a real estate agent,
Do i have to a hire a full time agent? is it enough to contract a realtor on a one time fee?
thanks

I understood your question. I was trying to say that you would need a broker to be the principal of your management company. You could be a financial partner but unless you are a licensed broker you would not be able to be an operational partner. Again you should consult with a real estate attorney.
