How much does a property manager make?

In the US, pay varies with experience, location, employer type, and the size or kind of property managed; BLS reports different pay across industries and local areas. State licenses and extra credentials can affect which jobs a person qualifies for, and some jobs include evening meetings or emergency calls.

Plan, direct, or coordinate the selling, buying, leasing, or governance activities of commercial, industrial, or residential real estate properties. Includes managers of homeowner and condominium associations, rented or leased housing units, buildings, or land (including rights-of-way).

What's a typical day like?

They inspect buildings and grounds, answer residents’ repair requests, and show empty units to people looking to rent. They arrange repair crews, track rent and bills, and prepare budgets or reports.

Finish high school, then gain related experience, often as an assistant manager; college may help in commercial work. In the US, check state rules: some require a property or real-estate license; courses and exams can lead to credentials.

Usually a bachelor's degree (preparation level 4 of 5)

Good for people who like leading and selling and keeping things organized.

Surprise: Some U.S. property managers are required to live at the very properties they manage.
