PROPERTY MANAGER EAST PORTLAND OREGON

This is a part-time, on-call, property manager position. Great for someone who wants to supplement income from another regular job.

We are a boutique real estate investment company, active in Thailand, Canada, and the U.S. Our portfolio happens to include two properties in Portland, Oregon, and Gresham, Oregon.

For many years, we have had a live-in property manager in one of the units there. It's getting time for him to retire, so we are looking for a replacement.

Since our portfolio currently includes only three properties in Portland, this is a (very) part-time position. You will basically just be on-call, actually.

Your compensation is negotiable, although generally hourly. After you have toured the properties, and seen the nature of the job, you can quote an hourly rate to us, and we can negotiate with you.

Here’s how the work normally goes.

Task Set 1 - Routine Responsibilities

• regular, routine maintenance

• regular yard work

• small repairs

• monitoring & maintaining security cameras

• other odd jobs

Most of the time, you will handle routine small repairs, odd jobs, and normal yard work. This kind of work you can easily do evenings and week-ends, like a normal homeowner. You communicate with the tenants, if appropriate, and coordinate with their schedules.

Task Set 2 - Occasional / Seasonal Responsibilities

• make appointments & coordinate with plumbers, installers, service technicians

• shop for appliances or equipment & compare price & quality

• schedule tree maintenance and deal with the City Arborist

• clean gutters

• change air filters

• trim hedges and ivy  

Once every few months, or seasonally, there is a larger project to do, such as arranging for a plumber to do some work, or shopping for a new water heater and arranging for it to be installed, or cleaning gutters, for example. This will involve more hours than usual, and you will have to see the project through to completion. But, scheduling it is up to you.

Task Set 3 - Unit Turnover Responsibilities

• arrange to have the unit cleaned between tenants, as needed

• arrange to have the unit painted, as needed

• arrange for any outstanding repairs to be completed

• purchase & installation of new appliances, as needed

Our company has been blessed with very long-term tenants (average 6 years). Once every few years, when one of the tenants moves out, you will do the unit turnover. A unit turnover possibly involves cleaning, painting, repairs, purchase & installation of new appliances, and anything else the particular turnover requires.  You will be very busy, but only for short bursts, once in a while. Fortunately, our company has VERY low turnover, so this may come up less than once every five years.  But, when it does, speed is essential.  When it’s time to turn over a property, you will have to do it speedily, and get it done as quickly as possible.

That is an overview of the job. As you can see, it’s sporadically part-time. Many months, there will actually be nothing to do. You can enjoy your life, and go to work at your regular job. Other months, there may be a lot to do, so it all evens out over time.

COMPENSATION

Let's negotiate.

This kind of work can be compensated hourly, changing every month, and sometimes being zero. Or, we can put you on a retainer, and you get the same basic flat fee each month, whether there is any work that month, or not.

Since we don’t know your situation, it’s difficult for us to name a specific amount. It will work best if we both negotiate.  Please consider whether hourly or retainer would work best for you, and send us your proposal.  We’ll get back to you with questions or modifications, and we’ll go from there.

Thanks for your interest!
