Examine their management agreement, check to see if there is an out clause if you are dissatisfied, make sure it spells out the responsibilities of the owner and the property manager7.

Your referrence to, "come with a book of business" equalling your 8 current doors, isn't really much.A one-man company needs at least 50-75 doors, in most markets, to scratch out a living as a PMC, preferrably 100+.We've got clients with 30+ doors and there's no way we would consider partnering with them and giving them a percentage of our company.So, you may want to re-examine your expectations a bit:)

My goal is to take the exam in the next couple months.
