Hi Myles,

I found myself managing about 20 rentals through my brokerage at one point. They were referrals and the business started to grow simply because I had a competent team that was responsive and looked out for the owners' best interests. I think there's a pretty low bar for competency in the management business because it's not glamorous and can be a grind. If you can come in and operate effectively I think you'll find success rather quickly due to that.

BTW - for a property management platform I would highly recommend Buildium. They're coincidentally based in Boston, too.

Good luck!

I am not a PM, but I do self manage about 50 units. My first question for you would be what your experience is? I could be wrong or out of line, but I feel like this is a field where you really need some good expertise/experience to know how to address the variety of crazy situations that will come up. Maybe you already have it, but I didn’t see it mentioned. If you don’t, maybe work with or for an existing company first for awhile?
