The superintendent for one of the companies lived there for 2 years. 

It is possible that I would superintend rehabs but I'm an HVAC contractor not a B license, so no general contracting . 

There is a GC type called paperwork contractor in the commercial space that collects all licensed trades and assign a superintendent to the site to monitor and make sure that what the subs are doing is correct.

I am currently employed as a residential building superintendent for a new Brooklyn property.

I consider myself lucky as I have a very good job as a Superintendent for a high rise residential builder in the Vancouver area.

You can step up skills and be superintendent or foreman, it's the same as the trade but at least you don't work with hammers if the position is high enough.

Judah Houser As someone who is in the commercial construction industry, I can confidently tell you that you will have no success with your request asking contractors or superintendents.

For major rehabs, my contractor will supply an onsite superintendent.

They have more experience assessing by visual inspection, obviously your contractor does not know how it is done, even I cant, but one of my superintendents can since he worked previously for a foundation contractor.

In my experience different population segments have different priorities.My lower-income tenants want a decent place, rent they can afford, close proximity to other family members, neighborhood familiarity, and walking distance to amenities like fast food restaurants and grocery stores.But start moving up the ladder and school district becomes very important if the family has children.But what's really 'fun' from an investment standpoint is when you get a School Superintendant (like we have) full of progressive theories who likes to tinker with school redistricting.Man, I've seen some nice neighborhoods suddenly tank in value as numerous families move just to keep their kids in good schools.
