Work Title:
- Local Property Management Assistant.

Time commitment:
- Part time work sometimes 2-4 hours per month, sometimes 10-40 hours per month when there are repairs or changing tenants.
- Hours are flexible though sometimes working business hours, evenings or weekends is necessary.
- You must be an emergency contact for tenants 24/7, though this has never come up.

Compensation:
- $15-20 per hour to start depending on experience with room to increase.

Basic work description:
- Assisting me with managing 5 rental properties that I own in LA.
- Most of the time tenants are self sufficient and I am the first point of contact so the assistant’s role is limited the task that I pass on to them.

About me:
- I live in Spain so I need someone who is physically present in LA to do things that I am not able to do from a distance.
- My background is in design and construction.

Ideal candidate:
- Someone that is good with office management tasks but also willing and capable to get their hands dirty completing basic repairs, home improvement projects, cleaning or simply solving whatever issues come up.
- Preferably a recent graduate or someone working on post graduate work because I’m not sure the time commitment is compatible with that of a full time undergraduate student.

Tasks:
- Leasing properties, posting ads, holding open houses, screening tenants.
- Managing service providers such as cleaners, landscape and fountain service.
- Being available as an emergency contact for tenant.
- Complete small repairs, home improvement projects or cleaning.
- Finding and managing contractors for larger repairs involving difficult plumbing or electrical problems.

Requirements:
- A computer, mobile phone and car.
- A work email address is provided for this position, but the assistants must be ok using their mobile phone and phone number for this work.
- A company credit card is provided and most vendors are paid by electronic transfer but on occasion the assistant may need to pay for something with cash and be reimbursed.

Additional skills desired:
- Detail oriented.
- Visually observant.
- Problem solver.
- Good communicator.
- Self motivated.
- Honest.
- Reliable.
- Friendly.

Transportation:
- Transportation hours are paid up to a maximum 30 minutes each way to visit properties, more time may be allowed if needed to commute somewhere other than the properties.
- Miles/gas is not reimbursed.

Type of position:
- As an independent contractor on an as needed basis, not an employee.

Job permanence:
- Looking for someone who will stay in the role a minimum of 1 year, preferably longer.

Future growth:
- Some potential to expand work responsibilities and hours as I would like to build a second unit on one of the properties but need a reliable assistant in order to process plans through the city and manage construction.
