Property management leads: landlords asking for a property manager
Hodorak finds property management leads in public posts: landlords, owners moving away and first-time landlords asking a town group or a landlord forum to recommend a property manager or a letting agent. They ask on Reddit and Facebook, and Hodorak shows you the post itself, not a list of contacts you buy.

We measured the requests Hodorak would have shown from every valid source in a month, and a post seen in two sources is counted once. Max is that whole read; an average source is that read divided by the 25 sources Max follows, and Starter and Pro are that average times the sources each plan follows. Each range is 90 to 110 percent of that. Estimates, not promises.
Max follows up to 25 sources; this read found 12 valid ones, so its range uses those 12.
These numbers cover every place we read; one area alone sees less, and the town groups and city subreddits of your own areas add to it.
How to get property management leads from owners asking for a manager
Most property management lead generation means paying before you talk to anyone: a lead from a matching site, an ad, or a referral fee. There is a route with no cost per lead. Every week, landlords who are moving, owners whose condo did not sell and first-time landlords ask a forum or a town group to recommend a property manager. The manager who answers with something useful gets the first conversation.
Where we found leads
Three examples of areas where people asked. Hodorak works in any area where people post: add the groups, subreddits and searches of the towns you serve, and you may see more there than here.
| Area | Our estimate | Sources that carry them |
|---|---|---|
| California US-CA | We found 2; too few to estimate a month |
|
| New Mexico US-NM | We found 2; too few to estimate a month |
|
| Alabama US-AL | We found 1; too few to estimate a month |
|
| Any other area | Hodorak searches by keyword, so add the groups of the towns you serve; the area filter hides what is clearly outside. | |
These areas came up in our sources. They are examples, not a ranking of the country: we did not test every area.
How to get property management clients in your own town
Our sources reached only some towns, so the places where we found owners asking are examples, not a map. Owners ask for a manager wherever they own a rental, so the places that matter to you are the ones in your own towns.
- City subreddits: owners asked in r/SantaMonica, r/SantaClarita, r/TorontoRenting, r/AskVancouverWA and r/nova, not only in landlord forums. Most other city subreddits we read had no owner asking in the 3 days, so add the subreddit of each city you manage in and keep the ones that bring requests.
- Local rental groups on Facebook: a long-term rentals group in Myrtle Beach carried an owner asking for a manager. Search Facebook for your town with rentals, landlords or property owners.
- Landlord forums with your country's words: r/Landlord tags posts by state, and r/uklandlords is where UK landlords ask about letting agents.
Add the groups of the towns you can really serve. An owner wants a manager who can reach the property, so a request in your own area is worth more than a busy group far away.

Property management lead generation: the phrases owners use
Owners rarely write "property management leads". They write their rental and the ask. In our 3-day read these phrases found requests:
- Asking who to use: "property manager" recommendations (4 on Reddit), "looking for a property manager" (1 on Reddit, 1 on Facebook), "manage my rental" (2 on Reddit).
- Choosing on terms: "property management" fee (one owner on Reddit, who posted the same question in two subreddits). A fee question can be an owner in the middle of choosing: this one had a contract whose terms favoured the manager and was still looking.
- UK words: "letting agent recommendations" and "recommend a letting agent" on Facebook (the same one post), and "letting agent" recommend on Reddit (1).
Searches with a city name found no owner asking for us: the Facebook searches for Houston and Phoenix had no request in the window. The Reddit search "property manager" recommendations did better on its own: it caught the owners who asked in r/SantaMonica, r/SantaClarita, r/TorontoRenting and r/nova. Keep it running, and add your own city subreddits beside it.
Real posts, as Hodorak shows them
Real public posts we collected when we measured this page, as Hodorak shows them. They are old by now, but people post requests like these every day. Phone numbers, e-mails, handles and full names are hidden, as in the app. Open a card to read the whole post.
"property manager" recommendations
Any recommendations for property management? I know most people hate their property management group, and I’d rather not have the headache of being a landlord, but I own a condo in Santa Monica that won’t sell with the current market (sigh) so I need to convert to leasing it. Does anyone have good experiences with their PM (either as a property owner or renter)?
Why it fits: condo owner converting to a rental asks for a property manager recommendation in Santa Monica
letting agent recommendations
I am looking to move in with my partner in the new year and would need to put my house up for rent. Never done this before, please could I have some recommendations for letting agents. Thanks!
Why it fits: first-time landlord renting out their house in the new year asks for letting agent recommendations
"property manager" recommendations
Looking to rent my townhouse in Cambridge. Which is the best property management company? I need help with finding credible renters. I live in Mississauga so I have no problem managing my rental property, but I need help to find reliable tenants. Pls recommend credible property management companies. Thanks!
Why it fits: landlord wants a property management company to find tenants for a townhouse in Cambridge
Myrtle Beach Long Term Rentals and Airbnb's
can anyone recommend a property manager for a long term rental in the Forestbrook area?

"property manager" recommendations
Rental manager recommendations I’m looking to rent out my three bedroom townhome in Sterling, does anyone have any good recommendations for a rental property manager? Much appreciated, thanks!
Why it fits: owner renting out a townhome in Sterling asks for a property manager recommendation
r/PropertyManagement
Is it normal for property manager to not tour or visit my property before i sign the management contract or agreement with them I reached out to a property manager on the phone seeking for them to help manage my property. The manager said that they want me to sign the contract first with them before they can come out and look at my property. Is this a normal protocol for property managers? Thanks
Why it fits: owner contacted a manager to manage their property and checks the contract step before signing
Which property management leads to answer first
Not every post is worth the same time. Answer in this order:
- An owner who names the property and the town and asks for a manager now, like the condo owner in Santa Monica or the townhome owner in Sterling.
- A landlord who lives away from the rental and needs tenants found, like the owner in Mississauga with a townhouse in Cambridge.
- An owner holding a manager's terms and asking if they are normal: they are choosing this week.
- A landlord unhappy with a current manager who is thinking of changing.
Skip tenants looking for a place, landlords asking a legal question with no plan to hire, and other managers talking shop. They read like leads but nobody there is choosing a manager.

Suggested reply, written by Hodorak; you edit and send it from your own account
Leasing a condo you meant to sell is a good reason to hand it to a manager, as long as the agreement is clear. Ask each one what the monthly fee covers and what they charge to place a tenant, how they screen applicants, the repair amount they can approve without calling you, and how quickly they answer an owner. We manage condos and single-family rentals in Santa Monica, so if you tell me the size of the unit and when it will be ready to lease, I can walk you through how we would run it.

Answer their question first: what to check in a management agreement and what you would need to know about the property. Mention your company once, at the end.
How to grow a property management company one reply at a time
A reply turns a post into a client when it answers the worry inside the post. The owners in our read kept naming the same few:
- Signing before anyone sees the home: an owner asked if it is normal that a manager will not tour the property until the contract is signed.
- Terms that favour the manager: the fee, what placing a new tenant costs, and how much control the agreement hands over.
- Finding tenants they can trust: the owner in Mississauga could run the townhouse but needed reliable renters found.
- Oversight from far away: an out-of-state duplex owner learned the yearly inspections had been done by the tenant on an app.
- A manager who goes quiet: UK landlords wanted to switch because their agent did not reply or do repairs.
Answer that worry first and say what you do about it: a visit before signing, a plain agreement, how you screen, how you inspect. Then ask the one or two things you need to quote, such as the size of the unit and when it is ready. One owner who hands you a rental can bring the next property, so a careful reply is worth the time.

Bought property management leads vs owners asking in public
Property management advertising and matching sites send you owners who filled in a form or asked through the site. Some send each lead to one company only, some charge credits before you can answer. You pay for each lead before you have spoken to the owner.
A public post is different. The owner wrote in their own words what they need, where the property is and what worries them, so you know before you answer whether it fits. Nobody charges you per post: Hodorak is a monthly plan, not a fee per lead. The trade-off is speed and care: other managers can read the same post, so the useful answer that arrives early is the one that gets the message.

Property management marketing ideas for a daily routine
The managers who get clients from posts treat it as a habit, not a campaign:
- Each morning, open the new requests from the sources you follow.
- Answer the owners in your area first, then the fee and contract questions.
- Save the replies that worked and reuse their shape, never the same words.
- Each week, add a town group or a city subreddit where you want more doors.
It is property management marketing that costs time instead of a fee per lead, and the owners you meet this way chose to ask.
Questions about this use case
Short answers about the requests, the sources and how you reply.
Is Hodorak a list of property management leads I buy?
No. Hodorak does not sell contacts or charge per lead. It shows you public posts from landlords and owners asking now for a property manager or a letting agent, with a link to the original post, so you answer in the same conversation. Nobody sold that lead to you or to another manager, but anyone in the group can read it too, so a quick, useful reply matters.
How do I get property management leads without buying them?
Follow the places where owners ask for a manager, and answer them from your own account. In our 3-day read, the Reddit search "property manager" recommendations found the most requests, 4. r/Landlord, r/uklandlords and r/PropertyManagement followed with 2 each, and the Reddit search "property management" fee found one owner who posted in two subreddits. The two Facebook letting-agent searches found the same single post.
How much do property management leads cost?
It depends on who sells them. ManageMyProperty publishes a price per lead, set by the property type and its value or size. All Property Management and Bark publish no price per lead; the table above shows what each page says. Hodorak has no fee per lead: it is a monthly plan, and the posts it shows were never sold to anyone.
How many property management leads would I see a month?
In our 3-day read, the 12 valid sources carried 14 requests from 12 people, about 140 a month at that pace, counting a post seen in two sources once. We tried 110 sources to find those 12, and most rental and real estate groups had no owner asking. So this is a narrow trade: the requests are real but few in each source.
How do I get property management clients when I am just starting?
Start where new landlords ask for help, because they have no manager yet. In our read they were a first-time landlord renting out a house before a move and a condo owner who could not sell. Another lived a city away and only needed tenants found. A clear answer to their question, from your own account, can be the first conversation with an owner who hands you the property.
Does this work for letting agents in the UK?
Partly. In our 3-day read, r/uklandlords had 2 UK landlords unhappy with their letting agent and thinking of changing. The Facebook search "letting agent recommendations" found one first-time landlord asking for one. That is a small read, so add the groups of the UK towns you cover, and search with letting agent, not property manager.
Does Hodorak find Airbnb and short-term rental management leads?
Yes, when an owner asks: an owner asking for an Airbnb co-host or a short-term rental manager counts as a request. In this read the Airbnb groups were hosts talking among themselves, so the requests on this page are long-term rentals. If you manage short-term rentals, add your town's host groups and check what owners ask there.
Does Hodorak reply to the owners for me?
No. Hodorak finds the posts and suggests a reply; you read it, change it and post it yourself, from your own account. That keeps the conversation yours, in your own words.
How we measured
- Window
- Nov 5, 2026 – Nov 8, 2026 (UTC), up to 3 days per source
- Posts read
- 4,007
- Sources
- 110 probed, 12 valid
- Per platform
- Facebook 3 sources, 990 posts
- Reddit 9 sources, 2,566 posts
- X 0 sources, 116 posts
- LinkedIn 0 sources, 410 posts
- What counts as a request
- A landlord, owner, investor, someone moving away or abroad, or a condo or HOA board that needs a company or person to manage a rental, find and vet tenants, or run a short-term rental, and asks others to recommend one, asks for quotes, or holds a manager's terms and asks if they are fair while choosing. A letting agent asked for a tenant find or a fully managed service counts, and so does an owner unhappy with a manager who wants another.
- Left out
- Property managers, letting agents and co-hosts advertising, listings and homes for rent, tenants looking for a place or complaining about a landlord, landlord questions about tenants, leases or law with no plan to hire a manager, self-managing landlords asking about software, trade talk between managers, job posts for property managers, buying or selling a property, mortgages, repairs, and look-alike needs such as cleaners or a realtor to sell.
- How posts were judged
- By hand, against the written definition above, with a sample of the posts the cue filter left out checked for missed requests. Sample: 346 posts outside the filter, with 0 requests among them.
- Coverage
- Most groups, subreddits and searches were read back to the start of the window. Facebook search shows only part of the posts, so the Facebook numbers are a floor; its search "letting agent recommendations" reached back less than a day, so that row is one post scaled up to a month and may be far off. Reddit skipped stretches of r/uklandlords and r/AskVancouverWA, so those Reddit numbers are a floor too. The same request is sometimes posted in more than one subreddit or search; each copy counts in its own row, and once in the totals.
