A premier LA Based real estate developer is seeking a dynamic,
high-level Property Manager to oversee three recently completed

taking the portfolio to 427 total bedrooms. We are looking for a

experience required). ? High Financial Literacy: Proven ability to
manage complex budgets and improve Net Operating Income (NOI). ?
