Property Management Companies

Hello all,
My partner and I are exploring the idea of investing in and operating residential property management companies in North America including Canada. We are in the beginning stages of our process and seeking to learn more. We are especially interested to learn about topics such as the structure of the industry, challenges of investing in and operating a PM business, metrics for a well run business, M&A activity in the space, channels for sourcing, and geographic regions that may be especially attractive. We would love to connect with other searchers, investors, owner/operators, brokers and others who have been focused in this segment. I can be reached at redacted Thank you very much to the community in advance for your time and commitment. We are grateful for it.
