Portfolio Milestone Bonus: $10,000 paid upon reaching and stabilizing 100 units under management in the Phoenix metro. Depending on how quickly we scale and how successful you are at sourcing management assignments, this could easily be a $100-150k / year opportunity . (And note that it, if you are successfully sourcing assignments, we will hire additional staff to take more of the day-to-day management burden off of you.) Hiring Process This is the most critical hire for our Phoenix expansion. Because we are looking for a long-term partner to help us build this market, we will take our time to find the right person. We are not looking for someone who needs to jump into a new role immediately. Our process is designed to be deliberate: we want to take the time to really get to know you, and for you to get to know us, to ensure a strong cultural and operational fit before we move forward. Expect multiple conversations and a deep dive into our processes and your experience and plenty of time to transition away from your existing role.
