Two communities, one operator, full ownership of the result. GLR Companies is hiring a Property Manager fluent in BOTH affordable housing compliance and market-rate leasing to run two communities near Akron, Ohio.
About GLR Companies
GLR Companies, Inc. is a full-service, third-party property management firm headquartered in Northeast Ohio. We manage multifamily communities of every type, including conventional, HUD/Section 8, and LIHTC, along with commercial properties and community associations, and we take on court-appointed receivership assignments that demand real operational discipline. We are active operators, not absentee managers. Our leadership walks properties, knows the work, and holds itself to the same standards we ask of our teams. We are growing, and we are building the team that grows with us.
About the Role
This is a single-operator role for a confident, self-directed property manager. You will run two communities, 80 units total, with full responsibility for occupancy, compliance, financial performance, and the resident experience at both. What makes this seat different is that the two communities operate under different rule sets: one is an affordable community governed by program compliance, and the other is a market-rate community that also serves voucher holders. You must be genuinely fluent in both worlds, able to run an annual recertification and a file audit at one property and drive market leasing velocity and renewals at the other, often in the same day.
You will be officed out of the Canal Fulton community and will travel regularly to the Akron community. You will work largely on your own, backed by GLR corporate for accounting, facilities coordination, and regional leadership support. We are looking for someone who takes ownership, manages their own time across two sites, and does not need a large office around them to perform at a high level.
What You’ll Do
- Market-Rate Leasing & Occupancy: Drive occupancy, leasing, marketing, and renewals at the market-rate community; manage curb appeal and the full resident lifecycle from tour to move-out
- Affordable Housing Compliance: Administer all affordable program requirements at the affordable community, including initial certifications, annual recertifications, income and asset verification, file accuracy, and agency reporting
- Voucher Administration: Manage Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) residents at the market-rate community, including HAP contract coordination, RFTA processing, inspection scheduling, and housing authority communication
- Fair Housing: Maintain fair housing compliance in every interaction at both communities; apply policy consistently across two different program contexts
- Collections & AR: Manage rent collection and delinquency at both sites, administer repayment agreements per company policy, and coordinate legal action when warranted
- Inspection Readiness: Keep both communities continuously prepared for NSPIRE, agency, municipal, and insurance inspections; correct deficiencies quickly and document thoroughly
- Financial Performance: Track budget performance, control expenses, explain variances, and deliver accurate weekly and monthly reporting to portfolio leadership and ownership for both communities
- Maintenance Coordination: Coordinate maintenance, make-readies, and vendors across both sites in partnership with GLR facilities leadership; manage work order quality and turn timelines
- Operations & Documentation: Conduct regular inspections, enforce lease terms consistently, document incidents thoroughly, and maintain complete, audit-ready records for both communities in Rent Manager
What You Bring
- 3+ years of multifamily property management experience that includes BOTH affordable housing and market-rate operations. This dual fluency is required, not preferred
- Working knowledge of affordable compliance (LIHTC and/or HUD/Section 8) including certifications, recertifications, and file management
- Hands-on experience administering Housing Choice Vouchers and working with housing authorities
- Solid command of market-rate leasing, marketing, and occupancy fundamentals
- Strong working knowledge of fair housing law; COS, TCS, HCCP, ARM, or CAM certification a plus
- Financial literacy, including budgets, variance analysis, delinquency management, and owner reporting
- A self-directed work style and the discipline to manage two sites independently with minimal day-to-day supervision
- Property management software proficiency; Rent Manager preferred
- Professional written communication that holds up to owner, agency, and housing authority scrutiny
- Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation, required for daily travel between the Canal Fulton and Akron communities
Physical Requirements
This role combines office work with regular site walks and travel between two communities. Requires the ability to walk properties and grounds, climb stairs, inspect units, and travel reliably between the Canal Fulton and Akron locations in all Northeast Ohio weather conditions. Reasonable accommodations will be made in accordance with applicable law.
What We Offer

- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off (PTO) with per-pay-period accrual
- Eleven (11) paid holidays plus one (1) floating holiday
