career change in property management

[Corey Pinch]

Hello all, I am looking at a career change from a truck driver to a property manager. I have always enjoyed real estate and currently manage my own rental. I am looking at joining a team that looks after many properties and was wondering if anyone would have some quiiiiiick tips for me. Thanks in advance.

Hopefully the change is smooth! I too made the transition from the corporate world to property management.  I was fortunate to have my own franchisee business.  First, in my state of North Carolina, having a real estate broker license is required.  You may to look into the legal requirements for Nova Scotia.  Secondly, I would find a firm that has good systems and processes set up.  If you are going to manage multiple properties, having automated systems to handle tenant applications, tenant maintenance, marketing, billing, etc. will be crucial.  Good luck!
