Let’s look at the math.Pre-Covid, the National Apartment Association (NAA) released data showing that the average renewal costs between $5,000-$10,000 per unit.

There are plenty of entry roles from cold calling, scrubbing data and find deals for investors, leasing assistant, work on construction sites, office admin, project coordinator, Title assistant, RE photographer, transaction coordinator.. on and on. 

I checked out the app for you.
