In March and April alone, the brand awarded 22 new franchises.

One of those was with Wendy Yuill, a franchisee in Lafayette, Indiana who has been in the property management business for more than two decades.

&ldquo;I have gained 25 more doors since joining as a franchisee,&rdquo; said Yuill, who officially opened with <a href="https://1851franchise.com/propertymanagementinc" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Property Management Inc.</a> in May. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m now at 69 doors but want to add another 125 by the end of the year. I know that sounds like an ambitious goal, but I&rsquo;m determined to get there.&rdquo;

Yuill has good reason to believe she can reach her goals&mdash;even if she came into the property management field by chance 22 years ago.&nbsp;

In 1997, Yuill was working at a bank when it was downsized. &ldquo;They let several of us go at lunch, right after the holidays,&rdquo; she recalled. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m a single mom and I didn&rsquo;t get any child support. I didn&rsquo;t know what to do&mdash;so I went and got a newspaper.&rdquo;

Yuill found a job listing for leasing consultants at a company called WH Long. She went to the office to apply in person and was interviewed on the spot. She got the job. &ldquo;I was like, &lsquo;I don&rsquo;t know what this is, but I can do it,&rsquo;&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;I was really excited. I must have caught on really quickly because I was promoted to assistant manager within six months.&rdquo;

Within her first five years, Yuill got her first property to manage on her own with a small mom- and-pop company. She then bounced between a few companies as she gained experience in the industry, managing bigger and bigger properties as she went. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve managed apartments, single-family homes, retail storefronts, mobile home parks&mdash;a slew of different things,&rdquo; she said.

Yuill, who is also a broker, found PMI several months ago while researching property management solutions. &ldquo;I could have started my own company, but I wanted to have all the systems in place,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;I have been doing this for a long time, but not all of the processes on the back end.&rdquo;

PMI provided Yuill with all the proven systems and technology that made branching out on her own smooth and easy. &ldquo;With PMI, it was all there&mdash;I just had to get everything set up,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;If you build a strong foundation, you can build anything on top of it. I was worried that if I was doing this all on my own, what if I missed a piece and didn&rsquo;t realize it until down the road when things started to crumble?&rdquo;

Now a few months into the process, Yuill is glad she went with PMI. &ldquo;There have been several instances where I go, &lsquo;I would not have set that up&mdash;and it would have been a problem!&rsquo;&rdquo; she said.

Her conversations with the leadership team, including director of franchise development Dan Berry and president Steve Hart, are really what sold her on the franchise. &ldquo;After having several conversations with Dan, Steve Hart personally contacted me and I had a couple of meetings with him,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;They seemed very knowledgeable about their product, enthusiastic and very supportive. All the franchisees I spoke with also talked about how great it was.

Yuill recently completed her franchisee training with PMI in Utah. As a new franchisee, Yuill is particularly excited about all the technology made available and affordable to her through PMI, including <a href="https://tenantturner.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-pmi-opened-new-doors-for-wendy-yuills-22-year-property-management-career-2710593" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Tenant Turner</a>, an online platform that automatically corresponds with tenants who express interest in a property.&nbsp;

&ldquo;It asks them some qualifying questions, then sets up appointments. It saves so much time and energy,&rdquo; she explained. &ldquo;Before I had this set up, I got 157 email inquiries about a property in its first two days. I had to physically respond to each one. At that point, I immediately signed up for Tenant Turner. I was like, &lsquo;Where was this months ago?&rsquo;&rdquo;

Long-term, Yuill&rsquo;s goal is to grow by 150 to 200 doors per year. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s awesome because I can focus on my own vision,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;I think my owners are happier since I&rsquo;ve converted, and I know I am. I enjoy what I do. If anyone is thinking about partnering with PMI, I would highly recommend doing it.&rdquo;

Startup costs for Property Management Inc. range from $21,250 to $106,800, with a franchise fee of $15,000 to $62,900.
