Why The Property Management Industry?
Property management plays a significant role in the real estate industry. There never seems to be a shortage for demand as owners often prefer to shed the responsibilities for leasing, rent collection, evictions, and property maintenance and focus on other aspects of the business.
According to recent statistics provided by ipropertymanagement.com, rental housing makes up a significant portion of the overall housing market1:
- 42.9 million or 34.5% of U.S. households rent their homes
- 100.9 million people live in rental housing
- 44% of rental properties are suburban
- 41% of rentals in the U.S. are urban

And whether owners are renting a residential home, condo, multi-plex or small apartment complex, the need for professional management services to help maximize rental income and minimize expenses and inefficiencies is essential.
Research firm, IBIS World, highlighted the industry's resilience in its mid-year 2021 report:
"The industry is typically resistant to economic slowdowns since it offers businesses a way to cut costs by reducing internal employment to focus more on core company operations." - IBIS World1
