A lot of bad things can come with calling yourself a property manager. In my state until recently, you had to have a real estate broker's license to even consider doing that without getting into trouble.

you don't just do it, you must check with the proper departments to make sure you're not doing something against prevailing law.

something that a couple of Market Educators have done is gone from Arbitrage to co-hosting model. That may and may not get you out of the stickiness I said above.

personally, I would not have a person with one unit as my property manager. That is nowhere near enough experience or depth to take over a multi hundred-thousand-dollar building

Thank you So much for your input! @Ken Latchers In my State in order to be a property manager you only need a RE license (which I currently have). I understand it's not something "you just do" that's why i'm asking for help on starting small gotta start somewhere!



Thank you so much for the feedback!  @Paul Sandhu
