And if you think you are, then what are the prerequisites of this career that you should keep in mind before you shoot your applications to the job postings. I would first like to let you know that not everyone can be a property manager. This career requires some traits and attributes that must be present for you to be a big success in this job. If you happen to posses these characteristics, then you are without doubt a perfect candidate for this kind of job. You just need the drive and ambition to know more about it. If a potential employer discovers that you fancy the subject, I bet you are more likely to be hired.
Speaking of special attributes for the job, what are they? To be successful in the property management industry you first must be a good leader or demonstrate excellent leadership abilities. This is because you may likely be assigned the responsibility of supervising the maintenance staff, so, if you can communicate well to them and offer motivation, you are good for the job. You also need to demonstrate good public relations skills, (you know that people talk thing). This is because you won’t be solely working with the maintenance staff, but you may be required to deal with tenants too and maybe also the landlord. Due to this, you should be able to associate with various types of people easily. You must also be a good customer care advisor, because after all tenants aren’t less customers, so you need to connect with them and make their day.
What of the general duties that come with this property management career? Most of your work may involve playing an interface between different types of people. Let’s say a tenant has a plumbing problem, they will surely conduct you. You will in turn contact the maintenance crew under your wing to get the problem fixed. You may also be in charge of doing all the advertisement for apartments that become vacant in your building. If people seeking accommodation comes to look at to one of your apartments, you will be the person at the front doing all the show and explanation. You will handle their applications and screening. In overall you will be in charge of the day to day issues that tenant’s raise and the maintenance staff. If you find this information music to your ears, then you could be a suitable candidate for the property management career. There are plenty of apartment blocks out there that you could seek to render your services to

Property Managers are unprofessional
Realtors are professional
You should consider high end properties where attorneys or other professionals live. Luxury condos are best especially if your husband is not a white collar professional or working for Boeing or Dow Chemical.
Plus if you have teeth you should not be doing property management. Okay?
The Management Companies assume that they can not afford your salary based upon you having Real Estate License therefore they hire an Assistant Manager and attempt to make them out of a Manager and offer them an hourly wage instead of salary…OR… You have been in the business too long and know what kind of salary you should make and they still can’t afford that either. Catch 22
For the position you are applying for you do not need a real estate license. If that was the case then everyone that owned four units or more and rented them out would need a license.
You also don't need to be rude to elders and obnoxious.
Basically you need common sense, understand a little about human nature, remember that this is a business.
The main thing in your line of work will be the safety and security of your tenants. The other thing is to insure that the area is always clean, damage to the units are kept to a minimum, tenant complaints are taken care of immediately or as soon as possible. If they can't be taken care of immediately make sure you inform the tenants.
Don't take sides in tenant squabbles as you might be forced to evict one or both, but you should keep friction down to the bare minimum between tenants.
I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

If it is a condo then the law allows for mediation and arbitration. After that you need to take the Condo Board to court under a civil suit.

Have you tried apartment complexes in your area? How about a self storage unit?
My company is almost always hiring in all three of those cities, but we are commercial real estate. If you have commercial experience, send me an e-mail, and I will send you a link to our careers page.
I would not expect a commercial property manager to be seeking job leads on YA, but you never know who hangs out here
Market research in this case means a basic knowledge of the housing market (rentals) in your area. It might include knowing strategies to improve a complex, or buildings profitability, or how to persuade the tenants to be more timely in their payments. It's not any one skill set, but several.
In other words, the days of simply collecting rent are over. But if your mom is a quick study, she might be able to persuade them to give her a try, based on her previous experience.
Good luck to her!
I believe that this is tax related for companies that get interest-dividends on tax-free municipal bonds (as investments).
It sounds like you have a lot of good experience and education….why dont you start calling some property management companies, find out who does the hiring, and tell them about yourself
