Property Manager (HUD & Market Rate Apartment Community)

Property Manager - Affordable & Market-Rate Community

Location: Carriage House (Elkhart, IN)

Are you an experienced property manager who enjoys bringing structure to a challenging operation, developing a team, and seeing measurable progress from your work?

Bradley Company is seeking a Property Manager to lead a large, mixed-income apartment community of more than 400 units. This property includes both HUD-assisted and market-rate housing, so the role requires a strong balance of property operations, affordable housing compliance, resident relations, and team leadership.

This is not a maintenance-mode position. The new Property Manager will step into a community that needs focused leadership, consistent processes, and a clear plan for improvement. A major priority will be rebuilding and retaining the site team, particularly within maintenance.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to make a visible impact, strengthen their leadership experience, and gain exposure to the type of complex property operations that can prepare them for future portfolio or regional leadership opportunities.

What You’ll Take On

In this role, you will:

• Lead the daily operations of a 400+ unit mixed-income community.
• Establish priorities and bring greater structure, consistency, and accountability to the site.
• Recruit, develop, and retain a dependable office and maintenance team.
• Oversee leasing, occupancy, rent collection, unit turns, work orders, inspections, and property appearance.
• Build professional relationships with residents while addressing concerns and lease violations fairly and consistently.
• Manage HUD and other affordable housing compliance requirements, including certifications, files, audits, and inspections.
• Monitor the property’s budget, expenses, delinquency, and overall financial performance.
• Partner with regional leadership, Compliance, Accounting, Human Resources, and other support teams to move the property forward.

What Will Help You Succeed

We are looking for someone who:

• Has at least two years of property management experience, preferably with a large or complex multifamily community.
• Has experience with HUD, Section 8, LIHTC, or another affordable housing program.
• Can remain calm, professional, and consistent during difficult resident or employee situations.
• Is comfortable setting expectations, holding people accountable, and making practical decisions.
• Knows how to prioritize when several operational needs require attention at the same time.
• Has experience hiring, coaching, and retaining property management or maintenance employees.
• Understands that meaningful property improvement takes steady execution, teamwork, and follow-through.
• Is organized, financially aware, and comfortable using property management systems such as Yardi.

What Bradley Company Offers

In addition to the opportunity to lead a large community and build valuable leadership experience, Bradley Company offers:

• Medical-based insurance options
• Paid time off and company holidays
• A 401(k) plan with company match
• Employee assistance and wellness resources
• Company-supported professional development
• Opportunities to grow your career within a full-service real estate company

Why Bradley Company?

This role offers the opportunity to lead a significant community, solve meaningful operational challenges, and gain experience that can support continued growth in property management. You will also have access to regional leadership and internal partners in Compliance, Accounting, Human Resources, and other areas as you work to move the property forward.
