This hybrid role combines property management oversight with LIHTC compliance responsibilities. The Property Manager & Compliance Specialist will be responsible for supporting the operational and financial performance of assigned properties while also serving as an integral part of the company’s compliance quality-control process.

Property Management

• Oversee day-to-day operations of assigned properties, including occupancy, leasing, rent collection, delinquency, resident relations, property condition, and overall financial performance.
• Respond to prospective and current residents, coordinate leasing and move-in activities, maintain accurate waitlist and applicant information, and support property marketing and occupancy goals.
• Partner with maintenance personnel to monitor work orders, unit turns, inspections, vacant units, property appearance, safety concerns, and other operational needs.
• Address resident concerns, enforce lease requirements consistently, issue appropriate notices, and follow established collection and eviction procedures.
• Conduct regular property visits, inspections, resident appointments, move-ins/move-outs, and other onsite activities as needed.
• Collaborate with Resident Services, Maintenance, Accounting, and other departments to support resident stability and successful property operations.

LIHTC Compliance

• Review LIHTC applicant, move-in, certification, and recertification files for accuracy, completeness, and regulatory compliance.
• Verify household composition, income and assets, student status, income and rent limits, utility allowances, and required supporting documentation.
• Identify deficiencies, prepare clear correction requests, communicate required changes, and follow outstanding items through completion.
• Support LIHTC file approvals and help ensure required compliance documentation is complete prior to occupancy.
• Assist with state agency monitoring reviews, internal and external audits, investor reviews, AOC responses, and other regulatory reviews.
• Maintain compliance tracking systems, monitor regulatory deadlines, prepare assigned reports, and elevate potential compliance concerns.
• Maintain current working knowledge of LIHTC requirements and consistently apply company compliance policies and procedures.

Overall Expectations

The successful candidate will be highly organized, detail-oriented, responsive, and comfortable balancing property operations with deadline-driven compliance responsibilities. This position requires strong follow-through, effective cross-departmental communication, sound judgment, and the ability to identify and address issues before they impact residents, property performance, or regulatory compliance.

Requirements

Minimum Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Minimum two years of affordable housing, property management, leasing, or housing compliance experience, including hands-on exposure to LIHTC.
• Experience with key property operations, such as leasing, resident relations, collections, inspections, maintenance coordination, and vacancy management.

• Strong attention to detail with the ability to review documentation for accuracy, completeness, and potential compliance concerns.
• Strong organizational, communication, and time-management skills with the ability to independently manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Demonstrated ability to identify issues, communicate concerns promptly, and follow responsibilities through completion.
• Basic proficiency with Microsoft Office and ability to learn property management and compliance software.
