Commercial property management career opportunity
I've been approached with the opportunity to take over the management of 8 acres of retail and office space. This would be a full time commercial property management role, with the potential for me to get involved with some the investors' other properties. I'm familiar with residential property management, but not commercial.
Could you guys help me better understand what a role such as this might entail? The person I talked to mentioned there may be a bit of accounting, renewing leases, managing the maintenance requests, etc. Have any of you guys held a role like this?
I'm an accountant eagerly looking to move away from accounting and into a role that aligns more with my real estate investment interests (flipping and buy-&-hold). I was initially planning on going into construction project management, and then this opportunity presented itself. So I'm looking into it.
I see how the role could be beneficial to my REI pursuits. Until I learn more about the role I won't really know if this is something I want to get into full time.
