What property management donors give in federal races

High-repeat receipts under $6.1 million

$6,103,031 is the occupation-level dollar total. 26,160 is the itemization count. 968 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $233 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $6,305 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 27 itemizations per donor record. Twenty-six thousand-plus lines from 968 donor records is a high-repeat pattern: many receipts per person relative to concentrated executive keys.

Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution, no party split, and no cycle series. A few large lines can lift $233 while most receipts stay smaller—or the reverse. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

The repeat rate is high. Recurring conduit gifts and multi-committee giving can each add rows. This guide does not assign a share to those channels because the packet has no channel split.

Function versus manager as occupation text

Some donors write PROPERTY MANAGEMENT; others write PROPERTY MANAGER or REAL ESTATE. FEC bulk data keeps each spelling. LobbyVault does not merge them.

FEC Form 3 (candidate committees) and Form 3X (PACs and party committees) collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no drop-down of job titles and no license check. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals PROPERTY MANAGEMENT after indexing. PROPERTY MANAGER, REAL ESTATE, and PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.

What 968 donor records can and cannot show

968 donor records used PROPERTY MANAGEMENT on at least one matching itemization. 968 donor records used this function string. That is not a headcount of property managers. Owners, employees, and people who typed their firm type into the occupation box can all appear.

A person who listed PROPERTY MANAGEMENT on some gifts and a neighboring title on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. Occupation is stored per transaction, not as a lifetime identity field. Address variants can also split one human into more than one donor record.

Keep real-estate industry tables separate

Industry pages on LobbyVault group employer-side categories. Industry pages group real-estate employers. This occupation page groups only the occupation text PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. Adding the two double-counts overlapping rows. Adding $6,103,031 to an industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations. Use one filter at a time unless you are tracing a single row.

Open the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT occupation page for the indexed line list. Use the occupations index to place this string next to neighboring labels. Independent expenditures are not contributions and are not inside $6,103,031.

How to cite the property management key

A usable public-record citation names the exact string: PROPERTY MANAGEMENT itemizations in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sum to $6,103,031 on 26,160 contributions from 968 donor records. Add that the figure is itemized occupation money. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total.

Source: FEC Form 3/3X schedules. The facts do not encode party. Recipient committees are a different join. The phrase is not a real-estate-industry total and not a licensing roster.

Treating PROPERTY MANAGEMENT as firm-type language

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT in this extract is $6,103,031 on 26,160 itemizations from 968 donor records, or $6.1 million in compact millions. Those dollars are itemized activity on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules; this guide does not invent a fourth occupation-level fact. A firm-type phrase in the occupation column is not an employer-sector rollup. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not a NAICS industry code and not a verified roster.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $233 per contribution and about $6,305 per donor record, with roughly 27 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. PROPERTY MANAGER, REAL ESTATE, and PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $6,103,031. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, dollars equal $6,103,031, contributions equal 26,160, donors equal 968. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the occupation column.

Researchers who need cycle cuts, employer text, or recipient lists should leave this guide and open the live occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Compact millions ($6.1 million) are the same headline amount as $6,103,031, rounded to one decimal place. Keep the contribution count and the donor-record count in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the shape of PROPERTY MANAGEMENT in this extract. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.

Questions

How much have property management donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list PROPERTY MANAGEMENT sum to $6,103,031 across 26,160 contributions and 968 donor records in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data. The total is an exact-string occupation filter. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

Is property manager included in this total?

Only if the occupation field equals PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. PROPERTY MANAGER is a different key. This page is $6,103,031, 26,160 contributions, and 968 donors for the function string. The occupation field is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code.

Why so many contributions from 968 donors?

The index lists 26,160 lines against 968 people, about 27 lines per record. Repeat itemizations are the norm. Dividing $6,103,031 by lines yields about $233 per contribution, a mean rather than a typical check. Cite the three packet facts with the exact occupation string. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts are outside this total.

Where is the source data?

FEC.gov bulk schedules. LobbyVault indexes matching occupation text on the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT occupation page. The occupation total is $6,103,031. Confirm surprising amounts on the committee report at FEC.gov. Occupation matching is exact-string only. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
