Sudie said: Apartment manager jobs have pretty fast turnover. Most managers cant hang for more than a year because the tenants drive them crazy. My company alone, in the small area where I live, has already gone through 4 sets of mgrs in 2 years at some of our complexes. The jobs are out there, trust me.
Just remember that you give up your privacy. Unfortunately most complexes dont have a separate managers unit, so you have to share walls with tenants.... sometimes listening to the noise after being in your office all day can make you nutty.
I think managers would last longer if their dwelling was detached from the tenants....
If anyone can hear me, and you are building an apartment complex, do a great service and let the manager unit stand alone.

We have four buildings in our Elderly and Disabled complex. A,B,C,D. Bldg A contains the community room, laundry, maintenance room, and from the porch of the office, there is the manager's 2 bdr 1 ba apt. B and C are all one bedroom apts and D is two bedroom apts. Bldg A faces the highway, but can observe the entrance to the complex. It is an excellent arrangement. Our private parking (sign) is in front of the building (manager parking only). I have no problems with anyone trying to park in it. I have a lawnmower storage and shop behind the complex. It is my private retreat. Heated and AC'd. I love the setup here.

T said: divide the amount of full units by the total amout of units, then you will know what percent full you are.

Gpi= the total income you could make... So u take the total units u have and x that by the rent. So for a easy example: if you have 10units that rent for 800 a month then your gpi is 8000.00. I hope that helps u.

ginger in oakdale in Toledo, Ohio said: I was an apartment manager some years ago. Now we (husband and I) are managers of a mobile home park. Please someone, anyone, give us a job at an apartement complex anyday. you think managing a complex is tough. Try babysitting a bunch of homeowners that think you sole job is to quite a barking dog. or tell you about a loud party but won't sign a complaint form. I could go on and on but trust me, it's a horse of a very different color. Then just for grins and giggles, toss in the old manager that was fired for doing a lousy job, oh ya. piece of cake... not!!!

Haha! It's no different. I manage an large apartment complex and the tenants behave exactly the same as you just described( loud parties; barking dogs;noisy kids...and the all annoying "someone's parked in my spot, cant you have them towed?" at 12 at night). It's like running a HUGE daycare 24/7! It is a horse of EXACTLY the same color. Sorry to disappoint :(. People are idiots no matter where they live or what they live in.They whine and complain ALL the time.
