My friend is a social worker and has worked in collections before. She is looking for a position where she can live on site and help manage the property while she concentrates on writing a book. Any ideas would be appreciated. What should she keep in mind about this type of a position?

Run as fast as she can in the opposite direction. I am a Property Manager and can tell you that living on Property is the worst thing to do! No one, tenants or potential tenants respect your privacy or your rights. You are expected to work 24/7. You cannot have a personal life without everyone gossiping about you. You don't dare go to your pool even in a conservative one-piece without being talked about. You will have people walk right in your apartment (even with a big notice on the front door saying personal residence)....and so on and so on. I no longer am willing to live on Property-not even for FREE RENT.

Apply for the positions when they come up. Check the paper every week there's at least 2-3.
She will be on call pretty much 24/7 and must be available for whatever situation comes up. Plumbing issues, repair issues, complaints.

She'll be on-call 24/7 and not be able to go anywhere or do anything else.
