I am currently in real estate and am considering specializing in rentals. I wanted to know how often people go to a real estate company for rentals.
I am in Southern, NJ
In a beach location, Myrtle, California, Florida I’d say yes. For somewhere like minnesota? prolly not.

The phones at most companies ring all day with tenants calling to see what is available. Most agents will not show 5 rentals to a caller when the “finder’s fee” is $100 (here in Phoenix). If you were able to find 3 rentals a day, you could earn $300 a day. Tell everyone in your office and tell your secretary that you will handle all the rental calls. The other agents will be thrilled.
If you are talking about becoming a property manager, that is different. Showing a few rentals is fast and painless. Managing a property takes some serious work. Ask to assist a manager for 30 days to decide if you like it. /
