Job Security

The demand for rental housing — and for talented people to maintain, manage, and build these communities — is on the rise nationwide because of population growth, immigration, and changing lifestyle preferences. And the industry generally is recession-proof, because in an economic downturn the demand for rental housing typically grows even higher as an alternative to buying a home.

Full-Time, Year-Round Work

Work without fear of layoffs or the paycheck gaps caused by seasonal fluctuations or other work lulls. Whether in maintenance, leasing, or community management, the variety of year-round needs in a residential rental community means you’ll always have work. And RPM jobs provide regular and predictable hours.

Job Mobility

Wherever you move, you’ll find apartments — and RPM jobs. Your skills and experience will easily transfer to jobs in other communities, and demand for rental housing is growing nationally.
