You do not need a license (like a brokers license) to manage your own properties.However, check your town to make sure you don't need a business license.In Tacoma, WA, as an example, even if you have a property manager, the owners themselves also need to have a Tacoma business license.If you hire a property manager, they will need a brokers license to manage other people's properties.Good luck!
