Hi David Oh-You asked about a profit sharing bonus for property managers to give them an ownership mindset and incentivize them to align with your goals for quality property management.I love this idea.While I do not have a formal profit sharing plan, I always like to recognize the property management company with gift cards to the operators and the people within the property management company I have regular contact with that help keep the property running well and keeping costs down.Related to this, a handwritten thank you card to the same people periodically goes a long way.I also like to do the same for the tenants that have been paying rent on time.To your success!
