Career Track: Future Property Manager
About us
We are an entrepreneurial real estate company focused on building high-performing assets and high-performing people. We believe property management is more than operations — it’s leadership, ownership, and value creation. Our goal is to develop future Property Managers who think like business owners.
Position Overview
The Leasing Intern role is designed as a launchpad into Property Management. This is not a temporary admin position — it is a structured training ground for individuals who want to learn how to operate, grow, and lead a real estate asset.
Interns will gain hands-on experience in leasing, resident relations, financial fundamentals, and property operations, with the long-term goal of promotion into an Assistant Property Manager and ultimately Property Manager role.
What You’ll Learn
Leasing & Sales:
- Conduct property tours and effectively communicate value to prospects
- Manage lead follow-up and CRM systems
- Execute lease agreements and renewals
- Analyze occupancy trends and leasing metrics
Operations & Asset Performance:
- Support rent collection and delinquency follow-up
- Coordinate maintenance requests and vendor communication
- Assist with unit turns and readiness inspections
- Learn budgeting fundamentals and expense control
Customer Experience:
- Build strong resident relationships
- Resolve resident concerns professionally and efficiently
- Contribute to retention strategies and community engagement initiatives
Entrepreneurial Development:
- Understand how NOI (Net Operating Income) drives property value
- Learn how leasing strategy impacts revenue growth
- Participate in property performance meetings
- Develop leadership and decision-making skills
Who This Role Is For
We are looking for individuals who:
- Want to build a long-term career in real estate
- Think like problem-solvers and future owners
- Are competitive, self-motivated, and coachable
- Enjoy sales, people interaction, and operations
- Thrive in fast-paced, performance-driven environments
Prior real estate experience is not required — drive and mindset matter more.
Growth Path
Leasing Intern → Assistant Property Manager → Property Manager
High performers will receive structured mentorship, increasing responsibility, and direct exposure to asset-level decision making.
What We Offer
- Real career path (not just an internship)
- Mentorship from experienced operators
- Exposure to real estate financials and business strategy
- Performance-based growth opportunities
- Entrepreneurial, high-accountability culture

Does a Leasing Professional role qualify for CPT?
Yes, if the work is directly tied to your academic program. A business, real estate, or hospitality management program can authorize CPT for leasing work when the employer provides structured training or the role satisfies a required practicum. Your DSO makes the final determination, so get the curricular justification in writing before approaching employers.
Can I do part-time CPT as a Leasing Professional and still take classes?
Part-time CPT, defined as 20 hours or fewer per week, lets you stay enrolled full-time and work simultaneously. Most leasing offices can accommodate a part-time schedule, though weekend and evening availability matters in this field. Confirm the exact hours in your CPT authorization letter match what the employer actually expects before signing anything.
How do I find Leasing Professional employers who are comfortable with CPT?
Search on Migrate Mate, which surfaces employers with international student hiring history. Property management companies that regularly hire interns or early-career candidates often have HR processes already set up for CPT onboarding. Smaller boutique firms are sometimes more flexible on scheduling than large REITs, which may have rigid onboarding timelines.
Does working on commission affect my CPT authorization or status?
CPT authorization doesn't distinguish between salaried and commission-based pay, but your total compensation must reflect genuine employment and not be structured to circumvent wage obligations. If your employer later files an H-1B visa or other work visa, DOL will compare total compensation against the prevailing wage for the role, so the pay structure matters for future sponsorship.
What happens if my CPT authorization expires while I'm mid-way through a lease-up campaign?
You must stop working immediately when your CPT end date passes. Continuing to work after authorization expires violates your F-1 status. Talk to your DSO at least four to six weeks before expiration to request a renewal or extension, especially if your employer needs you through a seasonal peak. Never rely on verbal extensions from your employer.
