NARPM® Governing Documents

Just the Facts

  • A large number of single-family dwellings across the U.S. are non-owner occupied.
  • The average number of units owned by investors is fewer than five.
  • There are many properties being managed either by owners or by managers who specialize in small properties.

NARPM® Fills the Void

  • As a group, managers of small residential properties oversee billions of dollars worth of assets, yet have had little or no voice in such important matters as tax law, legislation, legal document requirements, accounting practices, insurance, building codes, zoning and utilities.
  • Prior to the inception of NARPM®, there was no organization to represent this large group of property managers and their clients.
