Owners Representative - Multifamily Portfolio

About the Opportunity A private real estate investment firm recently acquired a portfolio of approximately 200 residential rental units in Northwest Alabama spread across several sites and is hiring a local Owners Representative to serve as our on-the-ground presence across the portfolio.

Compare your findings to the property manager's rent roll and flag any discrepancies. Document signs of occupancy with photos: utilities running, personal belongings, mail, neighbor conversations when appropriate. Verify Work and Vendor Performance Spot-check completed repairs and unit turns before invoices are paid. Photograph completed work and confirm it matches what was billed. Flag any work that appears incomplete, substandard, or not actually performed. Report to Ownership Submit a weekly written report with photos and findings. Keep organized digital records of every inspection. Available for a brief weekly check-in call with ownership.
