Property manager qualifications in Texas

[Robert McCormick]

My family and I are looking to buy a unit (condo or townhouse) within a few days and I will become the property manager. My understanding is that the property owner can manager the property themselves and seeing that my mother would be the owner I can potentially become the manager as a salaried employee or something. I may be wrong somehow and I am also trying to get my real estate license to work in the field. From what I have read I would likely have to become a broker before managing a property myself in that case. We would be purchasing the unit through a realtor as well. If and once the property is purchased what steps should I expect to go through before eventually become the property manager?
