Are you starting a property management company?
We sat down with Kathleen Richards (The Property Management Coach) and asked her a series of questions geared to help you start your property management company off on the right foot.

3. As a previous property management company owner, what do you wish you knew before owning a property management company?
4. How much do you recommend charging as a company that's just starting out? Should you focus on being the lowest priced company in town to get a few clients at first? How do you differentiate yourself?
5. Do you need a license or a degree to start a property management company? (very common question asked online. I know this varies by state but I think it would be helpful to address this during the interview.)
6. When you're first starting out what are some of the main aspects you should focus on?
7. What are some of the critical elements of a solid operational foundation that any new business owner should have in place?

12. Would you recommend joining associations as someone who wants to start their own property management company? If so, which ones and why?
13. You hold professional designations such as Master Property Manager (MPM®) and Residential Management Professional (RMP®) from NARPM®.
Do you think acquiring designations would help someone who’s looking into purchasing or starting their own property management company?
14. What was the best advice you’ve taken away from acquiring these designations?
15. If you had the option of purchasing an existing property management company or starting one from the ground up, which would you recommend?
