Consider expanding your service offerings to include mortgage services. Mortgage services are extremely profitable. Many states only require one or two courses to get licensed, and you may be able to use the loan officer course to get MCE credit for your real estate license.
You probably have a large pool of prospective investors with adjustable rate mortgages who need to refinance their mortgage. Why refer this business, when you can easily provide this service. You already have an established relationship with each owner. If you own your office, you may even consider subleasing space and partner with a mortgage broker. Our in house mortgage broker pays us rent and refers real estate and property management business to us. This drastically lowers the overhead cost for both companies.
In my last article, I discussed how 2008 will be a great opportunity to purchase rental property from motivated landlords with negative cash flow properties. As property managers, we can easily achieve instant equity by purchasing property below market and earning a commission at closing. We can increase our return on investment with monthly cash flow, appreciation, principle reduction, and tax savings by depreciating rental property. However, only licensed real estate professionals can use rental property to generate business income.
No other investment can potentially offer a greater return for a property manager than investing in rental property. Our company provides maintenance, sales, leasing, property management, and mortgage services. We leverage all of our services to generate as much revenue per client as possible. We offer a one stop shop for all our customers.
As a licensed real estate broker and loan officer, we generate thousands of dollars each year by assisting tenants living in rental properties I own to purchase homes. We assist tenants in repairing their credit, obtaining a mortgage, representing them as a buyer’s agent, and utilizing our in house maintenance company to help them fix up the property or make any necessary repairs. Not only are tenants happy to utilize our services, but they refer business to us as well.
In our market, there is a huge demand for home buyers who just sold their home and need a place to park while they build a new home. Yet few property managers offer lease terms less than six month, because short term leases are not profitable for the owner. I fill this market demand with properties I personally own and network with Realtors and builders and offer short term leases for their clients and customers. In return, I ask them to refer my company future property management business. We will refer the owner back to the Realtor if they decide to sell the property in the future. This makes the sales transaction go very smoothly, and Realtors are thankful for us providing this service. We have obtained many property management referrals because of this service offering. Even the short term tenants have referred property management business to us.
The more properties you purchase, the more you can leverage your company’s services to generate business income. You will save thousands of dollars in income taxes each year by depreciating each rental property. Owning rental property can lower your income tax liability to low single digit percentages. Some landlords with a large rental property portfolio pay no income taxes, because their depreciation expense exceeds their taxable income.
I encourage property managers to take advantage of near record low interest rates and purchase as many rental properties as possible. Leverage your rental properties to generate incremental business income.
In my next article, I will discuss how licensed real estate agents can leverage rental property to generate additional business and tax savings.

Make inquiries with local real estate agencies. Realtors occasionally act a prop. managers. Or they could put you onto people in the business.
Yes, I have used property managers in the past. If you want to do so, you will need to interview several candidates until you find one with whom you are comfortable. Ask other landlords who they use and their experiences with each.
Apartment managers take a load of hassle off of you personally. They handle all the whining, weekend calls, leasings, evictions, and anything else which goes with being a landlord. Expect to pay anywhere from 8-10 percent of collected rents as a fee, plus actual expenses.
I was pleased with the apartment managers I used, and continued with them until I owned sufficient units to develop my own management.
You have to declare the rent collected on your income tax.
I have several properties that are located out of state and have property managers, manage my properties for me. I will list both the Pros and Cons for having one.
Pros –
Handle issues that are typically associated with rentals (such as lockouts, appliance break downs, leases and rental rates). They can also check on your property when there is a severe storm. Most will take care of basic maintance items, change the furnace filters, smoke detector batteries. You have the peace of mind knowing that someone is there looking after your place, in your absence.
Cons-
You have to pay them – typically a percentage of the rental rate (15% or more, shop around – the rates can vary depending on the area your property is in. If you are in a tourist area there will be a lot of options).
Don't be afraid to ask questions when you meet with them, and make sure you have it in writing as to what they will do. Also, ask for refferals and make sure that they are licensed /certified in the state to be a property manager.
You will also want to look into getting an H06 insurance policy to protect yourself and your investment.
Good Luck!
Have you thought about going to a shopping center, finding who manages it, and interviewing them for your paper. Real Estate Brokers (Century 21 comes to mind) sometimes manage commercial property such as this, and they probably have a ton of useful info at your disposal. Good Luck…
No u need ur foot in the door. Apply for a leasing position or sign up with a temp agency for leasing. If u do decide to apply let them know u r new, its ok it really is not that hard to get trained for leasing, u must like people and have good communication skills. Once u have a job u will get to attend leasing seminars most properties do this at there expense a couple of times a yr. Also work hard listen and learn, u could become a assistant mgr within 1 yr with hard work, u also can take classes at a community college in the evening a couple of nights a week alot of properties will reimburse u when u pass the class, then u can take more, u can learn residential and commercial property mgmt. I want u to know property mgrs. have alot of stress u must be able to handle everything, residents, employees, contractors, bills, budgets, the owners or investors all falls on ur shoulders once u r manager. Good Luck HAPPY NEW YEAR
there is a "property management course" that is required
and it discusses liability
basically the owner of the building is responsible for repairs.
there is a contract drawn up with the owner of the property and the "property management company" the owner hires..which includes yard maintence , costs, repairs, updates, etc.
the tenant in the building if not getting help from the management company hired has usually a "tenant/rental board" (similar to small claims court) it is like an arbitration/ court setting and a mediation is started….
in the "mediation meeting" violations of the tenancy agreement can be discussed…
the "protocol" the owner wants followed on skipped tenants from leases is discussed with the management and owner and that is the protocol set…..if you skip and lose your deposit and have a mark put on your credit rating that was what the owner told the management company to do…for you to have that taken off as a tenant you have to go to the mediation meeting..
a property managers pay is signed by contract…so..can be free rent and cash..or a percentage of the gross rent..etc..and a contract is signed..
Yep, is this your first time renting? This is in no way uncommon.
