Florida property management operators — particularly those managing SFR and multi-family portfolios in Miami, Tampa, and Orlando — are looking to Texas as a complementary market. Both states are landlord-friendly with no state income tax, but Texas requires a TREC-licensed designated broker for all property management activity.
Texas Entry Requirements
Texas does not recognize reciprocal licenses for property management. Every out-of-state PM company must complete these steps before managing a single Texas property.
01
Form a Texas LLC or corporation with the Texas Secretary of State. Your home-state entity cannot directly operate in Texas without a registered Texas entity.
02
The designated officer or managing member of your Texas entity must obtain a TREC real estate license. This process typically takes 60–90 days.
03
Your Texas entity must be sponsored by a TREC-licensed designated broker. Texas Broker Sponsor™ provides this through PM Accelerator™ or PM Multi-family Enterprise™.
Why Texas
Florida operators expanding into Texas are typically institutional SFR investors or growing PM companies looking to diversify their geographic footprint.
