What Is Property Management Incorporated?

Property Management Incorporated is a franchise for establishing, operating, and marketing property management and real estate services businesses. Franchisees use PMI’s proprietary System and Marks to serve residential, commercial, association, short‑term rental, and multifamily sectors, delivering a core service bundle that includes leasing and brokerage services, tenant and landlord communications, rent collection, repair and maintenance oversight, insurance and bill payment, eviction handling, association/community management, hospitality services for short‑term rentals, and periodic financial reporting.

Property Management Incorporated Franchise: Pros and Cons

With 408 outlets (406 franchised), a top-10% network that provides strong brand recognition, referral channels, and peer support, the franchise offers scale and reach; however, the high entry cost-a $69,900 initial franchise fee (high range listed at $90,000)-means you’ll need significantly more cash than most peers.

Pros

With 408 outlets (top 10% across all systems) and 406 franchised units, this is a large, primarily franchised network-offering stronger brand recognition, bigger referral channels, and more peer support than smaller systems.
279 hours of initial training (top 10% for Real Estate) and a 100 Training & Support Score (top quarter) show the franchisor invests heavily in operator preparation and ongoing support.
Zero disclosed lawsuits, settlements, government penalties, or franchisor enforcement actions (bottom 5% for Real Estate) - a clean legal record that is favorable for new franchisees.

Cons

The $69,900 initial franchise fee (high range listed at $90,000) is well above typical for Real Estate (top 5%), meaning you’ll need significantly more cash on hand to enter than most peers.
Five outlet non-renewals and seven outlet terminations (both well above typical) point to elevated franchisee churn, suggesting a notable number of operators have exited the system.
Zero company-owned units (bottom 5%), combined with no on-site training and no manager training requirement, means the franchisor lacks firsthand operational testing and provides limited hands-on field training support.

Territory Protection

43/100
NORMAL

Property Management Incorporated grants a non-exclusive, 'protected' territory, limits franchisees to one Office and only intraterritorial relocations with franchisor approval, and makes territory rights contingent on meeting performance quotas; the franchisor retains the right to sell via e-commerce/alternative channels and to develop additional units in the surrounding market.

Training & Support

100
Excellent

Property Management Incorporated provides a comprehensive 279-hour training curriculum designed to prepare two initial franchisee designees for launch. The program does not include on-site launch assistance, and franchisees are responsible for travel and lodging expenses associated with training and launch.

Franchisee Stability

46/100
NORMAL

Property Management Incorporated receives a Normal Stability Score. Three-year turnover of 9.23% sits above the typical franchise (around 6%). Out of 106 total exits, terminations dominated with 62, alongside 6 non-renewals, no franchisor buybacks, and 38 ceased operations.

This dominance of terminations suggests franchisor-initiated exits, which can mean operators struggled with the model or that the franchisor enforces standards aggressively. The absence of franchisor buybacks leans toward enforcement rather than the franchisor reclaiming underperforming locations. With about 399 franchised outlets in the most recent year, this system is large enough that these exit patterns reflect meaningful scale rather than a statistical quirk. Prospective buyers should talk with current and former franchisees about onboarding and ongoing support, ask the franchisor for examples of recoveries and enforcement cases, and review Item 17 termination triggers to understand enforcement mechanics. For prospective franchisees, retention is in line with industry peers.

Franchise vs Corporate Performance: Item 19 presents revenue results for 2025 by pillar and by whether a franchise completed an acquisition. The document reports average annual revenue for franchises that operate in multiple pillars: - Franchises that HAVE NOT completed an acquisition (n = 110): average revenue $332,743 annually. - Franchises that HAVE completed an acquisition (n = 90): average revenue $642,973 annually. At the pillar level (2025 averages): - Not-completed-acquisition group (Table 3) averages: Residential $197,403; Commercial $20,193; Association $190,641; Short-Term Rental $327,879; Realty $57,353. - Completed-acquisition group (Table 4) averages: Residential $439,515; Commercial $39,031; Association $415,736; Short-Term Rental $264,669; Realty $78,156. Interpretation: franchises that have completed acquisitions show materially higher average total annual revenue (roughly +93% on average for the group average shown). This implies acquisitions (or growth strategies associated with completed acquisitions) are correlated with substantially higher systemwide average revenues for 2025.
Performance Variability Analysis: There is very wide variability across and within pillars. Per-unit/unit ranges reported in notes to Table 1: - Residential revenue per door range: $183 – $18,492 (Residential sample n = 239). - Commercial revenue/unit range: $210 – $34,053 (Commercial sample n = 37). - Association revenue/unit range: $2,176 – $128,846 (Association sample n = 92). - Short-Term key revenue range: $1,001 – $52,437 (Short-Term sample n = 63). - Realty revenue/transaction range: $705 – $113,878 (Realty sample n = 51). Median vs average differences (Table 1) show skew in some pillars: e.g., Residential average $2,069 vs median $2,221 (small difference), Commercial average $1,282 vs median $1,144, Association average $16,122 vs median $15,331, Short-Term average $12,384 vs median $7,814 (large gap indicates skew/high outliers), Realty average $6,641 vs median $8,614. Practical implication: many franchises will be far from the averages because of skew and outliers - Short-Term in particular shows high skew (average >> median).
Data Scope and Limitations: The financial representations are based on historical operating reports and accounting software; the document states data were provided from either unaudited financials/operating reports submitted by franchisees or the franchisor’s accounting software. Specific inclusions/exclusions are documented: several groups were excluded from pillar analyses when they had no units or insufficient data (examples: 95 franchises excluded from Residential pillar analysis because they did not manage Doors; 103 excluded from Commercial pillar for no Square Feet; 42 excluded from Realty for no Realty Transactions; others listed). Pillar-level sample counts reported in the Item 19 notes: Residential n=239, Commercial n=37, Association n=92, Short-Term n=63, Realty n=51. The Item 19 text repeatedly cautions that individual results will vary and that there is no assurance a prospective franchisee will achieve the amounts shown. Also, the FDD indicates the underlying data are not audited (written substantiation is available upon request). These factors limit comparability and require prospective franchisees to request outlet-level records if they want validated historical performance.
