This is a live-in position — a residential unit is provided as part of your compensation.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a skilled, dependable Resident Manager with hands-on maintenance experience to live on-site and lead operations at a 32-unit residential community. This is a combined role — part property management, part maintenance technician — ideal for someone who is equally comfortable handling resident relations and getting repairs done.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
- Serve as the on-site point of contact for all residents — handle questions, concerns, and day-to-day needs professionally and promptly
- Show available units and assist with the leasing process
- Collect rent and issue required legal notices in compliance with California law
- Conduct move-in and move-out inspections
- Report property updates, resident concerns, and operational issues to the management office
