What Is Property Management?

Property Management is the means by which you turn investment real estate into money. Property management is not just leasing a property to a tenant and walking away or just collecting a rent check every month. Property Management is the daily maintenance of the tenant-landlord relationship.

The landlord-tenant relationship is very important to ensuring a successful tenancy. It includes effective communication, property maintenance, periodic inspections, repairs and improvements. Rental property requires diligent care.

Property Management Software (for partial list see List of property management software) continues to grow in popularity and importance. As it decreases in price, smaller companies and amateur property managers are able to function using some of the same best practices and efficiency as larger companies. Online Asset Management Software (OPMS aka Online Property Management Software) is a major cause of the crash in the price. In addition to the core Property Management Software options, there is a quickly growing number of closely related software products being introduced to the industry.

Like the Online Property Management Software, most of these products are also Online Software, also known as Software as a Service (SaaS). This approach to software typically makes the barriers to entry far lower than the traditional box software alternatives. Many of these options are available for a demo period at no cost. While there is often a set up or licensing fee required at the time of implementation, the product cost is paid as a monthly fee and service contract often offer flexible terms. Like other non-product oriented services, the SaaS product will have a non-performance clause allowing the customer to discontinue service if the terms of the contract are not met by the provider.

Another benefit to these types of products/services is that upgrades are performed on the server-side by the software vendor and therefore require far less, or even no change management at all. While the software seller may choose to increase monthly costs at the renewal stage of the contract, there is no direct Upgrade cost as found in box software products. Many software services will also perform intermediate releases that have no noticeable change in product features, but they may repair many bugs and have iterative augmentations that have a positive effect for the user without having to install patches on their PC.

Most states require property management companies to be licensed real estate brokers if they are collecting rent, listing properties for rent or helping negotiate leases. A property manager may be a licensed real estate salesperson but generally they must be working under a licensed real estate broker. Most states have a public license check system on-line for anyone holding a real estate salesperson or real estate broker’s license. A few states, such as Idaho and Maine, do not require property managers to have real estate licenses. Washington State requires Property Managers to have a State Real Estate License if they do not own the property. Owners who manage their own property are not required to have a real estate license, See the State Laws however they must at least have a business license to even rent out their own home. Owners who do not live near the rental property may be required, by local government, to hire the services of a property management company.

Generally, property managers who engage in only association management need not be licensed real estate brokers. In Connecticut, however, a broker’s license is required. Some states, while not requiring a real estate license, do require association managers to register with the state.
[edit] Australia

Every state of Australia has different licensing requirements. To be able to trade as a property management company, the company has to be licensed with a principal or licensee in charge. Each staff member of the company has to have a certificate of registration.

Victoria is a state situated in the South East of Australia. Its major city is Melbourne. Victorian Property Management includes new legislative requirements under the Owners Corporation Act 2006 (commenced 2008 and replaces the old Body Corporate provisions under the Real Estate Act). Owners Corporation Managers are required to be Registered with Consumer Affairs Victoria and hold insurance. Real Estate Agents are required to be licensed. Melbourne has seen significant growth in large multi unit apartment developments and Owners Corporation Management is evolving as a result. Owners Corporations can be residential, commercial or a mix.

One important role is that of liaison between the landlord and/or the management firm operating on the landlord’s behalf and tenant. Duties of property management include accepting rent, responding to and addressing maintenance issues, and providing a buffer for those landlords desiring to distance themselves from their tenant constituency.

There are many facets to this profession, including managing the accounts and finances of the real estate properties, and participating in or initiating litigation with tenants, contractors and insurance agencies. Litigation is at times considered a separate function, set aside for trained attorneys. Although a person will be responsible for this in his/her job description, there may be an attorney working under a property manager. Special attention is given to landlord/tenant law and most commonly evictions, non-payment, harassment, reduction of pre-arranged services, and public nuisance are legal subjects that gain the most amount of attention from property managers. Therefore, it is a necessity that a property manager be current with applicable municipal, county and state laws and practices.

The desire to climb socially and enjoy the finer things in life are two of the most powerful motivations that human beings have to face challenges, sacrifices and uncertainty, is wishful thinking that I consider healthy but often carried to extremes, especially when there are no transcendent values, in which under many people who work tirelessly but do not control their finances and take on debts that keep them permanently enslaved, so that they cannot even enjoy time at their discretion, their family or worse of the things that started it all, the financial education is essential to project a life with the fewest possible surprises, because the future nobody knows, and in that sense the right thing is to manage money wisely.
