Earning Potential
How much can you expect to earn in the first year as a Propertyscouts business owner? The answer depends on the individual! Some franchises exceed expectations and others don’t. Invariably, success is determined by the level of dedication and commitment displayed by the franchise owner.
Unlike other property management franchisors, we don't cap your growth. So long as you have the capacity to provide exceptional service to the properties you manage, you can grow your rent roll infinitely.
Propertyscouts Franchise Options
Classic Business
Our Classic Business option (starting from scratch) doesn’t come with any properties under management. This means you are responsible for building your own property management portfolio and there will be no income until you start gaining new clients.
This option requires a much lower initial investment than our Quick Start Business option. We can’t tell you it will be easy, but you will have full support to grow your business.
At Propertyscouts, we have a 100% success rate for 'start-up' franchises. All of our current franchises started from scratch, and all are still operating. A very small number have onsold to new business owners.
Quick Start Business
Our Quick Start Business gives you the chance to purchase an existing portfolio of properties under management (existing portfolios are commonly referred to as rent rolls). The major upside of this is there is income for the business owner from day one.
We will help to negotiate the purchase of an existing rent roll portfolio. We also assist with due diligence and end-to-end facilitation of the rent roll acquisition.
A Propertyscouts Quick Start Business will require a higher initial investment as the price is dependent on the size of the rent roll. Please note this option is only available where an existing rent roll is available for purchase.
