A friend of mine is the assistant manager in a complex of college students, and another property (35 units) with college students that his company owns is in need of an apartment manager. He was told to find one, and I was asked if I am interested in the position.
I don't have any particularly relevant experience, but my current job has flexible hours and I may be able to do this simultaneously. I would be required to work 3-4 days/week, 3-5 hours/day, more at the beginning of the month to receive and enter rent checks, etc. In exchange, I would receive free rent/utilities in a 2BD/2BA apartment (which would normally rent for $2200/month - I could rent out a room or keep the entire apartment to myself) in a secure building with a pool and gym, $1600/month, and medical/dental benefits.
I'm expecting a learning curve, but imagine I could pick things up pretty quickly. There is a 24-hour maintenance man who lives onsite, and right now every unit is full for the school year. Has anyone ever been an apartment manager, and if so how was your experience?
