About the Company
We own and operate a growing portfolio of manufactured housing communities across multiple U.S. states. Our portfolio is a mix of stabilized assets and active turnaround/infill projects.

- Reporting: Maintain a weekly portfolio scorecard for leadership ensuring follow-through is visible and predictable.
- Team Leverage: Direct Ops VAs and coordinators to maximize your own efficiency.
Decision Authority

- Software Proficiency: Expert-level knowledge of Rent Manager Asana and Notion.
- Communication: Minimal accent with professional-level English fluency (written and verbal).
- Technical Setup: Reliable high-speed internet and a quiet workspace suitable for US Eastern Standard Time hours.
Who You Are
- You have successfully run or rebuilt multi-site property operations.
- You care more about outcomes than titles.
- You are comfortable owning execution under pressure and dont need protection from hard decisions.
- You possess an ownership mentality; you dont just identify problems you systemize the fix.
Success in the First 90 Days
You will know you are winning when:
- The founder is no longer involved in routine daily operations.
- All Property Managers report exclusively to you.
- Infill and home sales are tracked end-to-end with clear SLAs.
- Tier 3 (troubled) assets show clear momentum and regained control.
