03 | Inside Property Management
In this episode, I sit down with Justin F. Brown, CPM®, Regional Manager at Arlington Properties, to dive into the realities of property management. Justin shares lessons from his early career, including the importance of preparation and accountability, and how small details can shape big outcomes. We discuss the pros and cons of working in multifamily real estate, entry level roles that fit different personality types, and why designations like ACoM and CPM matter. Students will gain insight into career paths, practical advice for getting started, and a clear picture of what it takes to grow in property management.
