About the Opportunity
This is an opportunity for a true NYC Residential Property Manager to join a stable Owner/Operator managing a small, well maintained portfolio of rental assets in prime downtown Manhattan locations. This is not a corporate environment with layers of bureaucracy — the ideal candidate is someone who likes to work independently, take ownership, and manage their portfolio without needing to be micromanaged.
The portfolio is approximately 200 residential units and is in great shape overall — well maintained buildings, stable operations, and ownership that genuinely cares about their assets and residents. Looking for someone proactive, organized, tech savvy, and on top of the day-to-day details that keep a portfolio running smoothly.
