Leasing Intern (Paid), Bilingual Candidates Highly Encouraged to Apply
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
Property Manager CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a property management internship qualify for CPT authorization?
Yes, if your degree program, typically real estate, business administration, finance, or urban planning, directly connects to the duties in the role. Your DSO will evaluate whether leasing operations, tenant management, or asset oversight maps to a required or elective course in your program. A vague job title alone isn't enough; the employer's offer letter must describe specific duties your school can tie to curriculum.
Can I work full-time as a property manager on CPT while still enrolled?
Full-time CPT, meaning 20 or more hours per week, is permitted but affects your OPT eligibility. If you accumulate 12 months or more of full-time CPT, you lose your OPT benefit entirely. Part-time CPT, under 20 hours per week, does not count against your OPT. Most F-1 students in property management CPT roles choose part-time arrangements to protect their post-graduation work authorization.
How do I find property management employers open to hiring F-1 CPT students?
Migrate Mate lists property manager roles from employers with documented work-authorization experience, which significantly narrows your search. Beyond that, prioritize real estate management firms and REITs that already have HR processes for verifying international student work authorization, since they're equipped to handle the documentation your school requires before your start date.
What documentation does my employer need to provide for CPT authorization?
Your employer must provide a formal offer letter listing your job title, duties, start and end dates, weekly hours, work location, and supervisor contact. Some DSOs also require the employer's federal tax ID or a brief description of how the role integrates with your coursework. Get these documents in writing before submitting your CPT application, verbal offers don't satisfy USCIS record-keeping standards that schools must meet.
Does working as a property manager on CPT affect my H-1B eligibility later?
CPT itself doesn't affect H-1B visa eligibility, but it matters whether the property manager role is classified as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards, meaning it requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. Real estate management, finance, and business administration degrees generally support that classification. Documenting the academic connection clearly during CPT also builds your case for future H-1B petitions in the same occupational category.
