Real Property Management

Real Property Management (RPM) is the national leader in residential property management, with more than 40 years of industry experience and over 465 offices across the United States. Ranked the #1 property management franchise in its category in the Entrepreneur Franchise 500® for the past three years, RPM sets the standard for operational excellence, technology, compliance, and customer service. The U.S. rental market continues to grow, with more than one-third of the population renting and roughly 45 million residential rental properties nationwide. RPM franchise owners are well positioned to capitalize on this demand by helping real estate investors protect, manage, and grow their property portfolios. RPM franchisees generate multiple recurring revenue streams through leasing, property management, and maintenance services, with management agreements often lasting up to five years. Investors typically own portfolios of 2–20 properties, creating strong retention and predictable income. While the core model focuses on single-family and small multi-family property management, many owners also manage student housing, larger multi-family communities, and HOAs. Because a real estate license is required, franchise owners may also buy and sell investment properties, and many invest in real estate themselves. With some franchisees managing portfolios of 6,000+ doors and more than 25% operating multiple territories, RPM offers a scalable, recession-resistant model within one of the world’s largest asset classes—supported by a nationally recognized brand and proven systems.
