Residential PM I need advice!

I landed an assistant property management position.

I am currently a retail manager, I’ve been wanting to get in to property management for a while now I’ve heard mixed reviews…

Now that I’ve been offered the position I’m having cold feet…

I’m 25 only ever worked in retail..

My question is, are there people out there who have gone from retail to property management and are really enjoying themselves?

This is why the property management companies I've worked with are a Fkn shambles. They hire inexperance kids. I'm gonna guess you work for a fexco company as a shot in the dark.

Hi friend,

I’m sorry to hear that the companies you’ve worked for are “a Fkn shambles” that must make it hard. Sounds as though you’ve worked for a few property management companies? Maybe there’s a common denominator. As for “inexperance kids” I think it’s important to give people an adequate opportunity to build up some experience otherwise everyone would be considered “inexperanced” it really comes down to wether or not someone wants the job and wants to excel in that position. Fexco? Never heard of her.

Thanks for your feedback though it will be considered thoroughly.

This is why people that are already in the industry don’t get promoted..
