There is not much income in the real estate property manager. Most realtors do this to get customers. However, you can make really good money in condo complex property management. Your best bet would be to call a few of them and ask them what requirement they are looking for.
I hope this helps.

Hey S4D,
Starting your career as Property Manager is such a nice idea. As you mentioned that you have good sales & customer service experience you can look forward to become more familiar with property management. Property management includes many services like

- Tenant rent collection
- Property financial planning and budgeting
- Insurance review
- Property risk management
- Facilities management and many more.
Familiarity with those services can better enhance your self for this career.
Thanks and best luck for your career.

In this market, property management is becoming much more popular as a way to begin your real estate career. There are a few different formats – will you be working for an apartment complex as an employee, or as an independent PM for a variety of income property owners? An apartment complex will have its own rules and possibly a training program for you. An independent firm will not, and will expect you to know a bit more.
It’s a fine line – you have to have a good relationship with the tenants, but you also have to be firm enough to turn down those with bad credit or insufficient income, and there are some uncomfortable situations like evictions that have to be dealt with, too! The better you are at marketing to and selecting good tenants, the fewer lousy ones you will need to handle. Look up your state’s landlord/tenant laws and know them well. Join the local rental association as well – there are usually people there who have a wide variety of experience and can offer good suggestions.
There is a huge need for professional service-oriented property managers. I hope you become one!
