Some apartment managers live in the building they manage. Employers may provide the apartment as part of their salary. Some property managers may use a company car. Those who work in land development may receive bonuses from projects they develop.
Pay varies with the employer's size, the property's location, and the type of property managed. Property and real estate managers who have more experience and training earn more than those who are new to the occupation.
Property and real estate managers who work full time usually receive benefits. These benefits may include health insurance, sick leave, and paid vacation.
