Now, as part of its effort to educate property managers and offer solutions to common roadblocks, PMI has released a new e-book, <a href="https://propertymanagement10300.ac-page.com/7-portfolio-multipliers?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=property-management-inc-releases-new-e-book-to-help-property-managers-scale-2718713" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">7 Portfolio Multipliers for Property Management</a>.“The information contained in this ebook comes from working with 370 business owners over 14 years in the property management industry,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremiahcundiff/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=property-management-inc-releases-new-e-book-to-help-property-managers-scale-2718713" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Jeremiah Cundiff</a>, Vice President of Operations at PMI. “It’s from learning firsthand what prevents businesses in this industry from growing and developing solutions to address those problems.”In the book, Cundiff and his team identify the three types of property managers:<ul><li style="margin-left:36pt;">Solo Property Manager: The business owner who knows how to do the “technical” work of property management, who works in the business day-to-day because they are the essentially the business.&nbsp; The knowledge of how to operate the business resides in the memory of the Solo Property Manager &nbsp;</li><li style="margin-left:36pt;">Strategic Property Manager: The business owner who is successful at building a high performing team, which is a team that manages the “technical” work of property management because the property management business is operating with a fully integrated operating system.&nbsp; The top 20% of property management business fall into this category.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</li><li style="margin-left:36pt;">Property Manager Stuck in Transition: This is where most property managers find themselves.&nbsp; Unable to make the transition from being a Solo Property Manager to a Strategic Property Manager, the “Stuck In Transition” property manager is unable to break through to the next stage of growth and feel like they are spinning their wheels.</li></ul>“This ebook is an introduction to the three types of property managers,” said Cundiff. “Part of it is bringing awareness to the business owner to help them understand where they are in regards to the marketplace as a whole, getting them to ask themselves the questions, ‘What type of property manager am I?’ and ‘What’s preventing me from moving my business to the next stage of growth?’”The other part of the ebook’s mission, says Cundiff, is introducing the seven portfolio multipliers—which are the economic drivers of a property management business.&nbsp; In other words, if a property manager optimizes the seven portfolio multipliers, they will be able to move their business from being “stuck in transition” to becoming a strategic property management business, which is a property management company operating in the top 20% of management companies nationally.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;According to PMI Founder and Chief Executive Officer <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-hart-30aa2a5/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=property-management-inc-releases-new-e-book-to-help-property-managers-scale-2718713" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Steve Hart</a>, 2022 presents the perfect opportunity for property managers to focus on growth, as the brand anticipates a slowdown in the real estate sales market.“With real estate rates as high as they were in 2021, it wasn’t great for property management,” said Hart. “A lot of our franchisees saw investment property owners selling. We’re expecting that to mellow out in 2022 where we won’t be losing as many management properties to owners who want to liquidate their portfolios. We're looking forward to the sales market slowing a bit and giving more emphasis to management and management opportunities.”With so much opportunity in 2022, Cundiff says PMI wanted to provide an easily accessible and educational resource for property management companies at no cost. Property managers can also engage with PMI for a Portfolio Growth Assessment—also at no cost—allowing the brand to demonstrate how a franchise system could be the solution to some of the most pressing problems they’re experiencing as an independent business owner.“It’s free education to get insight into how we approach property management businesses,” said Cundiff. “We can demonstrate our expertise and show property managers how PMI’s business system closes the gaps across seven key areas of the property management business model and open the door to explore a potential partnership with PMI. But even if property managers do the assessment alone without being a PMI franchisee, they’ll still get value out of it. When it’s all said and done, the focus is on the education.”To download the free ebook, 7 Portfolio Multipliers for Property Management, <a href="https://propertymanagement10300.ac-page.com/7-portfolio-multipliers?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=property-management-inc-releases-new-e-book-to-help-property-managers-scale-2718713" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">click here</a>.The startup costs for a Property Management Inc. franchise range from $53,225 to $190,050.

How much can franchisees make? It’s a question many prospective owners ask before investing in a franchise. While earnings tend to be driven by variables such as industry, location and general management skills, a proper understanding of the key factors driving profitability can help franchise owners develop expectations that are realistic.&nbsp;Multi-unit franchisee&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mangesh-patel-9368569/">Mangesh Patel</a>, who’s readying the launch of six&nbsp;<a href="https://www.beefobradysfranchise.com/">Beef ‘O’ Brady’s</a> restaurant locations in the Macon, Georgia area, shares insights from his franchising experience.<h2>Understanding Franchise Income</h2>Keeping operational costs in check can have a major impact on overall earnings. Taking a proactive approach to expenses such as food and labor, as well as payroll and scheduling, can help align actual franchise income with general expectations for the business.“I just had a meeting with a couple of people, and they said, ‘You talked about a 25% profit margin, but I’m only doing 12%.’ So, I looked at the figures they sent me,” Patel said. “Their&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/calculate-restaurant-franchise-profit-2730476">restaurant</a> food cost was running at 37%, which should be around 30%. The national average is about 32%. If I do things correctly, my average food cost needs to be at or below 30%. And payroll should run around 18%. But many people run 25 to 28%.”So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/unraveling-franchise-earnings-how-much-can-you-really-make-2723935">how much can franchisees make</a>? Here are five areas to consider.<h2>Practical Tips for Prospective Franchisees</h2><ol><li>Control Costs From Day One:&nbsp;It’s important to monitor payroll, food and supply costs closely. Overstaffing and inefficiencies can quickly reduce profits.</li><li>Plan For The Opening Surge:&nbsp;Traffic within the first few months of opening is likely to be higher. It’s important to adjust staffing and inventory accordingly, and pay close attention to how those levels change as time goes on.</li><li>Invest In Training:&nbsp;Properly trained workers can help reduce waste and improve overall service, which has a direct effect on net income.</li><li>Understand Your Market:&nbsp;Each market is unique and revenue potential will vary depending upon location, demographics and competition.</li><li>Track Metrics Regularly:&nbsp;Food cost percentages, labor ratios and weekly sales data act as key indicators operations may need to be adjusted.</li></ol><h2>What Profitability Really Comes Down To</h2>Patel notes that if franchise owners manage labor and costs properly, it’s not impossible to achieve strong cash flow even in the first year, bucking some franchising trends.So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-can-you-make-as-a-franchise-owner-2724761">how much can franchisees make</a>? While results tend to vary, careful planning, disciplined operations and a proactive approach to assessing initial costs are essential.

<a href="https://hardeesfranchising.com/">Hardee’s</a>, a 65-year-old burger chain best known for its Thickburgers and breakfast biscuits, is facing a fast-moving round of closures driven by a franchise dispute rather than a bankruptcy filing.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.inc.com/ava-levinson/hardees-shutting-dozens-restaurants/91282586">Inc. recently reported that</a> 77&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-hardees-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2721286">Hardee’s</a> restaurants are expected to close within two weeks as one of the brand’s largest franchisees exits the system.&nbsp;According to the report, Hardee’s is suing&nbsp;<a href="https://www.arcburger.com/">ARC Burger</a> — a franchise operator owned by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.highbluffcap.com/">High Bluff Capital Partners</a> — alleging the company fell behind on required payments and other contract obligations. Twenty-eight locations had already gone dark as of late December, with remaining sites scheduled to shutter across eight states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Montana, South Carolina and Wyoming.&nbsp;At the center of the complaint is the franchising “stack” of ongoing fees and pass-through costs that keep a system running. ARC Burger allegedly owes more than $6.5 million, including royalties, advertising fund contributions, technology and training fees, rent and taxes, and that payments stopped in December 2024. Hardee’s also argued in the lawsuit that the franchisee’s cash flow was not being used to bring accounts current.&nbsp;Hardee’s, for its part, is framing the shutdowns as a contractual enforcement issue, not a brand-wide retrenchment. “These closures are a result of ARC Burger’s failure to cure its defaults under its franchise agreements, despite solid sales,” a Hardee’s spokesperson said.&nbsp;The situation highlights a familiar franchising pressure point: unit economics. Inc. reported that Hardee’s operates more than 1,800 U.S. restaurants and that average annual sales per location are less than $1.2 million, well below averages cited for&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-wendys-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2722520">Wendy’s</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-buy-a-mcdonalds-franchise-2724654#stories">McDonald’s</a>. Lower volumes can leave franchisees with less room to absorb higher labor, food and occupancy costs while staying current on fees.&nbsp;Hardee’s said it is working to limit fallout for workers and communities and is looking for ways to reopen closed restaurants. For franchising, the next chapter will likely involve finding replacement operators, transferring sites and rebuilding compliance — a reminder that franchise growth depends as much on franchisee solvency and execution as it does on consumer demand.Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.inc.com/ava-levinson/hardees-shutting-dozens-restaurants/91282586">here</a>.Want to learn more about how 1851 helps franchisees find the right franchise opportunity?

As the health and wellness business in America continues to fill out, the fitness industry is growing alongside it. The industry now generates&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ibisworld.com/united-states/industry/gym-fitness-franchises/5599/">over $7 billion</a> in annual revenue, with a revenue increase of nearly 3% in 2023 alone.Rebounding since COVID, both big box and boutique franchises have shown&nbsp;<a href="https://athletechnews.com/fitness-franchising-by-the-numbers-10-key-stats/">membership growth</a>, with premium establishments up 21% compared to a whopping enrollment bump of almost 70% on the budget gym side.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>The Pros And Cons Of Big Box Gyms</h3>When it comes to choosing the right fitness franchise, there are pros and cons to each.Big box gyms are able to cast a wider net, attracting a clientele ranging anywhere from newbie to seasoned veteran, with a lower cost of entry potentially attracting even the marginally curious to the idea of a well-established, properly marketed brand.&nbsp;Big box and other low-cost fitness franchises are also able to capitalize on services like personal training and retail amenities, increasing revenue.Driven by recurring membership fees, big box gyms generally cost less. However, the wider net cast in terms of building a clientele, tends to require more equipment in a bigger space, increasing costs like rent. And with a wider array of workout machines to both service and maintain, additional costs tend to follow.<h3>The Pros And Cons Of Boutique Fitness Concepts</h3>On the boutique side, franchises are typically able to offer a more personalized fitness experience, catering to niche markets with an eye on community, quality and loyalty. However, a more hands on approach to management and day-to-day operations may also be necessary to deliver the more customized, immersive experience often demanded of the more boutique environment.As a result, boutique fitness concepts are typically able to capitalize on a more premium pricing model driven by the idea of exclusivity.But, while less equipment in a smaller space can help rein in expenses, it can also be difficult to build the more specific clientele required by the boutique experience, rendering selection of proper location crucial.<h3>Finding The Right Fit</h3>As potential franchisees assess the available opportunities in the fitness franchise realm, it’s important to ponder a number of factors which can impact the bottom line.In terms of budgeting, a full understanding of both initial investment and ongoing operational costs is crucial.&nbsp;Getting to know the customer and surrounding area can help franchisees assess just how much the consumer is looking to pay for a gym membership, helping clarify the big box versus boutique decision when it comes to the question of how to buy a franchise.There’s also market saturation, with big box gyms in particular becoming an increasingly crowded marketplace.On the management side, it’s important for franchisees to seize upon a specific approach, whether it’s applying a more hands on style to the level of personal interaction required on the boutique side or focusing on the moving parts in play in the larger, more complex big box environment.&nbsp;When it comes to buying a fitness franchise, an understanding of the consumer, proper assessment of the marketplace and specific approach to management can go a long way towards avoiding potential risk, helping franchisees find success as they ponder entrepreneurship via fitness franchises.For more info on fitness franchises, check out these related stories on 1851 Franchise:<ul><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/fitness-franchises-2025-trends-opportunities-2729600">The Rise of Fitness Franchises in 2025: Trends, Opportunities and What to Expect</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/top-health-and-wellness-franchises-2729821">Top 15 Health and Wellness Franchises Opportunities for 2025</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/fitness-wellness-franchise-guide-2729443">How To Choose the Right Fitness or Wellness Franchise for You</a></li></ul>
