Kaizen Guest Properties is a Frisco based furnished housing operator. Since 2020 we have run a portfolio of fully furnished homes and apartments across Frisco for corporate travelers, relocating families, traveling healthcare and construction crews, and visitors coming into town for Universal Kids Resort, PGA Frisco, and the Star. We are roughly 20 properties today, a mix of 3 to 5 bedroom single family homes and Class A apartments, and we expect to be at 25 to 30 within the next year. Our homes run near 90 percent occupancy and hold 4.6 plus star ratings because we do not cut corners on the physical product. "Kaizen" is the Japanese word for continuous improvement. That is not a slogan here. It is the actual standard, and it is the reason this position exists.
WHY WE ARE HIRING
Right now our guest services team works remotely and our handyman handles the field. That setup gets things fixed. It does not catch things before they break, and it does not guarantee a guest walks into a home that feels perfect. We want one person on the ground in Frisco who owns the physical condition of every property and the coordination of everyone who touches it. Someone who walks into a unit and notices the scuffed baseboard, the burnt out bulb in the hallway, the towel that came back gray, the slow drain that will be a service call in three weeks. Someone who does not leave until it is right. If you are the kind of person who straightens a crooked picture frame in someone else's house, this is your job.
THE ROLE
Property Manager Assistant, field based. Part time contract, roughly 20 to 25 hours per week, paid $2,000 per month. You set your own daily route. The work is real and it is local.
