A property management association is a membership organization that provides opportunities for networking, education, and advocacy for property management professionals. There are many advantages to being a member of one. The business and personal development opportunities available through the many conferences and educational opportunities present great avenues to grow and optimize your property management business. Here are four property management associations we recommend looking into.

NARPM is the single-family rental industry’s leading association. It’s a national organization dedicated to the SFR industry with countless regional chapters and over 6,000 individual members.
NARPM’s National Conference and Expo every October is the largest event and trade show in the SFR industry, and the association hosts countless other events and trade shows that serve as networking opportunities in regional events, chapter engagement, and other national events. Joining your local NARPM chapter is one of the easiest ways to further yourself and your property management business.
National Rental Home Council
The National Rental Home Council (NRHC) is a national trade association specifically for single-family rental property managers. It's a newer association, but it's one of the few aimed at the single-family industry. Its goal is to strengthen the rental market by helping property managers provide high-quality homes to residents while educating the public on the societal of a strong SFR market. The association’s main event, the Industry Leaders Conference, will be held for the fourth time in April of 2024.
Information Management Network
Information Management Network is not technically an association, as it does not offer membership. What IMN does do is host a wide variety of networking events all across the country for both single-family and multifamily property managers.
IMN hosts real estate events both in and out of the property management industry. It's single-family forum will be in its 12th year in 2024, and it also hosts the Single Family Rental Property Management, Operations, and Tech Forum, which is will be in its sixth year.
National Apartment Association
If you’re in multifamily property management, the National Apartment Association is an advocacy and trade association with excellent member benefits including advocacy, exclusive content such as the units magazine, and more.
NAA also hosts a number of events and trade shows for multifamily managers and other professionals in the apartment space including an advocacy event, a national trade show, and a senior leadership networking conference.
