  Multifamily housing has always been a good investment. Investors have generally loved this sector.

People Challenges Many property managers are keeping their finger on the pulse of the future, but the challenges of people are draining most of their time and resources. As Gomer would say, Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! Because of this, approx. 40% of respondents say their next job will be in a totally different field. The Best Property Management Companies The best companies are ones that are run well and that offer structure and processes in place.
