Property Manager

What You’ll Do

• Run daily operations for your assigned communities — inspections, maintenance coordination, and capital improvements.
• Own affordable housing compliance across LIHTC (Section 42), HUD project-based Section 8, and HOME — the programs that keep these homes affordable.
• Manage applicant screening, waitlists, and eligibility, and complete accurate, on-time initial income certifications and annual recertifications.
• Keep rents, set-asides, and utility allowances within HUD and New Hampshire Housing limits.
• Prepare for and lead compliance reviews, Management & Occupancy Reviews (MOR), file audits, and investor inspections — and close out findings quickly.
• Submit required reporting on time, including tenant certifications and HUD subsidy vouchers through TRACS.
• Uphold Fair Housing, Section 504, VAWA, and reasonable-accommodation requirements across everything the site does.
• Build and monitor property budgets, drive rent and subsidy collections, and keep spending accountable.
• Support leasing and affirmative marketing to keep occupancy high and compliant.
• Lead and develop your on-site team, and manage vendor relationships and contracts.

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5+ years in residential property management.
• Hands-on knowledge of affordable housing programs (LIHTC/Section 42, HUD Section 8, HOME) and income certification and recertification.
• Familiarity with New Hampshire Housing and HUD compliance and reporting (e.g., TRACS).
• A solid grounding in Fair Housing and landlord-tenant law.
• Strong communication, leadership, and organizational skills.
• Comfort with property management software (Yardi, RealPage/OneSite, AppFolio, or Buildium) and Microsoft Office.

Nice to Have

• Bonus points for an affordable housing certification — COS, TCS, HCCP, C3P, SHCM, or BOS (or the willingness to earn one).
• A management credential such as CPM, ARM, or CAM.
• A bachelor’s degree in business, real estate, or a related field.
