Advice on How to Become a Property Manager in Los Angeles, CA

[Dana Miller]

I want to move to LA - but instead of blowing my whole paycheck on a closet-sized room, I thought of working a deal as someone's property manager to work to pay for my rent. To be honest - not entirely sure how it'll work (never been a property manager before) so I have some questions:

1. What tasks are expected of a property manager?

2. Is it a part-time, full-time, or seasonal job? (How many hours/week is expected?)

3. Even though I don't have experience persay as a property manager, I have a marketing degree and am a licensed loan officer and real estate salesperson -- do those count for anything??

4. How do you market yourself as a property manager? (What do people look for when they hire a property manager?)

5. What type of properties are property managers hired to manage? :D
