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
Cons
Lawsuits & Legal Risk
Property Management Incorporated reported no material legal proceedings,
Territory Protection
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
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
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.
