I'm going on an interview for a property manager position, what questions should I ask about the job?
Asked by laura.fredrickson
I am changing careers from mortgage lending to hopfully property management, I have transferable skills that are useful in the property managment field but since I have never applied for this type of job what questions would be appropriate to ask?

Best Answer:
How many units will you be responsible for? How many staff ....(maintenance)? Complete job description....(because this varies from Mgt. company to Mgt. company, and from property to property). Ask about training (most pay for accreditation certificate)....other questions will come to your mind as the interview goes on. Great field! This is what I did for many years. Loved the job! Good Luck!!!

Like any other job, start off asking about what the job involves and about the company etc. Is there a particular market that the employer targets? How much independence will you have when working there? Would there be hard and fast rules dictated from "upper management" or would you have the ability to make decisions which you think would be best for profitability etc. When you get to the benefits part of it, ask about the perks. Like a rent-free apartment or a company car etc. Be sure to get an idea of how many hours you will put in and whether the job will "take over" your life.
