DM Companies is seeking an experienced Assistant Property Manager to support our Rochester, Minnesota portfolio of three apartment communities totaling 232 units, including one 152-unit Class A luxury apartment community and two affordable housing communities totaling 80 units.
This role reports to the Assistant Portfolio Manager, supporting them in every aspect of the portfolio's day-to-day operations. This is an opportunity for a driven multi-family professional who thrives in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment and takes pride in helping communities operate at the highest standard of excellence.
We are not looking for someone who simply clocks in. We are looking for someone who treats these properties like their own business. This position requires someone who is willing to roll up their sleeves and do whatever it takes to get the job done.
Our expectations are high because our residents, owners, and team deserve excellence.
Pay:
- $55,000.00 - $65,000.00 per year

While this is a full-time position, there will be times when additional hours, evenings, or weekends are necessary to meet deadlines, support the team, respond to property needs, prepare for inspections, lease apartments, or achieve operational goals.
We're looking for someone who understands that success is measured by results, not by watching the clock.
Responsibilities:
- Assist the Assistant Portfolio Manager with daily operations across all three communities.

Qualifications:
- 2+ years of residential property management experience.
- Proven leasing and sales success.
- Experience with renewals and resident retention.
- Experience with delinquency follow-up.
- Experience coordinating maintenance and vendors.
- Excellent communication and conflict resolution abilities.

The Ideal Candidate:
- Takes ownership and accountability.

Assistant Property Manager Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a assistant property manager in Minnesota?
Most assistant property manager positions in Minnesota do not require a state-issued license, but candidates with a real estate salesperson license issued through the Minnesota Department of Commerce stand out in competitive hiring. The path typically starts with a leasing consultant or administrative role, followed by coursework through organizations like the Minnesota Multi Housing Association, which offers property management training recognized by local employers.
Which companies hire assistant property managers in Minnesota?
Companies currently hiring assistant property managers in Minnesota include Sherman Associates, Bader, and Roers Companies, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Minnesota's large affordable housing and market-rate apartment sectors mean that regional property management firms and national REITs both maintain active hiring pipelines in the state.
Which Minnesota cities have the most assistant property manager jobs?
Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and Saint Louis Park have the most assistant property manager openings in Minnesota. The Twin Cities metro drives the bulk of demand given its dense concentration of large apartment communities, commercial portfolios, and corporate real estate headquarters, while Rochester's steady growth in healthcare-adjacent housing and Duluth's expanding rental market contribute to hiring outside the metro core.
Are there remote assistant property manager jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're rare. About 25% of assistant property manager openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of property management work. The portions of the role most likely to allow remote flexibility are administrative tasks, lease processing, and owner reporting rather than on-site leasing or maintenance oversight.
How can I get hired as a assistant property manager in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a leasing consultant role at a large Minnesota apartment operator, where on-the-job experience with resident relations, lease-ups, and property software builds directly toward an assistant property manager title. Organizations like Dominium and CommonBond Communities in the Twin Cities regularly hire entry-level leasing staff and promote from within. Completing a property management certificate through the Minnesota Multi Housing Association strengthens any application from a candidate without direct management experience.
Where can I find and apply to assistant property manager jobs in Minnesota?
