You need to be responsible, but firm.  

We’re looking to install a property management firm within the organization as a way to generate steady income and keep operations running.

Here in Colorado, you need to have a real estate license, and in order to get your license you need to go through what basically amounts to an apprenticeship for two years (associate), before you can have your own firm.
