Chasing property management titles is easy.
Chasing money is predictable.
But chasing growth?
That’s where the magic happens.
In multifamily, the best roles aren’t always the ones with the biggest paycheck.
Don’t get me wrong; money can buy nice things.
Or open some doors.
The better answer is growth roles.
They’re the ones that stretch you, make you uncomfortable, and force you to think in ways you never have before.
The ones where you solve problems no one else wants to touch.
You learn more about leasing apartments on a challenging property than running a stabilized portfolio.
You gain more insight into managing resident conflicts than sitting in budget meetings.
You become more valuable when handling evictions, turnovers, and crisis management than focusing solely on occupancy reports.
The best leaders in this industry didn’t climb because they played it safe.
They took the hard jobs.
The ones no one wanted.
The ones that taught them how to solve real problems.
Every job pays you in one of three ways: money, experience, or transformation.
The first two will fade.
The last one will make you – you!
If you want to win in multifamily, stop asking, What’s in it for me? Start asking, Who will I become by doing this?
