  probably not. In most states you have to have a real estate license to be a property manager. I'm pretty sure Florida is one of those.

  So you think I have to have my realtor license to do property mgmt for someone?

  I do not have my notes with me, but I did quite a bit of research on this several months ago and the general consensus was - that there was no consensus. I wrote the officer of the FL Board of Realtors and Property Managers and got an array of answers.
  
  Do a google search for BROKER FLORIDA STATUES - I think it is 45 that gives the definition of a broker.
  
  To be safe, if you are getting any kind of compensation for leasing someone else's property, you should work under a broker.

  ray_higdon,
  
  Not exactly.
  
  In Florida: You can be a resident manager of an apartment complex without a license, or manage property you own without a license. You can be the (property manager) employee of the property owner without needing a license.
  
  For all other situations where you are providing a property management service to others for a fee, you need to have a real estate broker's license or be the employee of a real estate broker who does property management under his license. [ Edited by NewKidinTown on Date 06/07/2004 ]
