Property Management Question
Has anyone here managed their own property? If so how did you collect rents?
I own my own Home Building company and sub contractimg company and just bought some land to build rental units on. It's my first time and am even considerinf starting up. Property Management company to service my rentals. What are the requirements to start a property management company in Texas?

I have tenants who pay via Zelle, Venmo, CashApp, checks and cash... It depends on the tenant and their sophistication level. The cash tenants don't even have the ability to text a photo to me, so there you have it. I have college students who use the apps mentioned. As to property mgt co in TX, not sure. Many states require you to be a licensed realtor in order to be a property manger (unless it's your own property).
