Real Estate Rehab Project Manager(LOCAL ONLY) (Murrieta)

We need an AMAZING person to be our Real Estate Rehab Project Manager!

Your “job description” is very simple: You will inspect, QC, create SOWs for, and manage our residential rehab projects from cradle to grave. This includes using our software and CRMs to send SOWs with our in-house approved pricing. This means managing and juggling window orders, siding orders, roofing crews, hvac companies, full remodeling crews, our flooring companies, and the other dozens of contractors and subs required to rehab and sell 2-4 homes per MONTH. If you can’t keep up with that pace, you’ll be buried inside of 4-6 weeks and will fail.

The job is TWO main things, and you cannot do the job if you do not have a perfect command of both things:

1 - The actual rehab side. Knowing the highest and best use of a home. Knowing when to open up a wall, where to add can lights, the best bang for the buck improvements to make, etc. You’ll need code knowledge and you’ll have to know how to speak the lingo with every single trade, supplier, and person.

2 - You have to have a VERY good command of people and all things psychology. It’s easy to rehab a home, it’s an entirely different thing to be able to manage 20 open projects, 50 vendors and subs, schedule things to turn in a job on time, know how to manage, discipline, and fire crews as needed, and how to do so artfully and tactfully in a way that ensures our company’s success. Managing crews is all about psychology, it’s not about “construction” though you do have to have superior knowledge to the person you’re managing, of course.

Benefits: We offer PTO, paid holidays, and personal days. We offer a starting salary that is DOE, and bonuses and other perks for completed jobs, saving money, etc. We offer to do a few flips JV style together with our top performers every year and this can significantly add to their yearly salary plus bonus. If you’re GOOD at this job, you have a very good career here with a solid retirement plan! YES, after 6 months we provide a company vehicle for you to drive, a company CC, all tools supplied if needed, etc.

Total Pay: You’ll have a base salary of $40-60K DOE, and the remaining total package will be from job completion bonuses, crew hiring metrics, profit sharing, and more perks we can discuss at your interview! All that means is you have the potential to make $60,000-$80,000 per year

If you are interested in this position, tell me why you are a good fit, and why I should hire YOU instead of everyone else. Send me a message or a cover letter, a resume, and tell me exactly WHY you’re the one I have to interview and hire right away so you stand out from the other 150 that will apply. We are truly only willing to hire the right culture fit and the right person. We’re looking for character, honesty, integrity, knowledge, and someone with vision to grow our company with us. If this is youwe need to speak to you ASAP. You can also look us up and reach out directly via our site, social media, etc if you're extra ambitious (we notice it!).

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU!

Compensation:

$60,000 - $80,000 yearly

Responsibilities:

You will be responsible for managing 3-5+ open rehab projects at one time. Again, part of this responsibility includes bringing on rehab crews that fit our criteria (quality, pricing, speed, etc). The ability to bring on and correctly onboard QUALITY construction crews at a fair price will 100% make or break your ability to manage efficiently.

If you know this industry, you know at least 80% of the crews out there will NEVER be a fit for our investment office! Most are crap, do crap work, or are total rip offs. A few are great but severely overpriced and we’ll never be able to afford them. Many have no clue what they’re doing but will lie and tell you they do. We do NOT hire crews that need frequent draws and can’t afford to run their own business properly and pay their staff. We buy larger materials, but if they need to call us for a $265 order from Home Depot on our credit cards, we do not hire that crew. We pay fair prices for quality work. We’re not looking for the cheapest price, but we’re also not ever willing to pay retail homeowner pricing. If you can’t manage crews of that middle-ground variety, you will fail here. We tend to pay 10-15% more than other investors.

As such, one of the most important parts of the job is that you have the knowledge and ability to CONSISTENTLY BRING IN QUALITY CREWS AND SUBS! Even though this is challenging, honestly, it’s pretty simple. Once you develop the right relationship with a few great crew leaders that have 2-4 crews under them each as we’ve always done here….you’ll be all set! Simply keep those relationships happy and you’re not always having to seek new ones as we expand. Your plate will be full here, so your ability to see projects through to the end quickly and completely is vital.

Considering most of our rehabs are smaller $7-30K on average with the rare $40-50K rehab…you’re expected to have the average rehab done in 1-4 weeks and a larger one in 6-7 weeks max.

Some Common Daily Duties: Hiring and managing new crews, subs, handymen, etc via several methods (phone, ad placement, referral calls to agents/brokers, driving, and networking with crews in the field on random job sites, etc.). Dispatching and Pricing job scopes to crews using our pre-filled software. 85% is pre-priced, 15% you will need to price and negotiate properly. Understanding working with crews who are investor-priced, NOT retail-priced, and the differences therein. Long driving will be common. While you will have many office days, 50%+ of the time is spent in the field driving, conducting inspections, checking jobs, checking out new properties we're buying, etc. Some days will be 20mi of driving, some will be 150+.

Qualifications:

Look, here’s what you REALLY need to do this job, and do it successfully:

You need to have technical knowledge. That means you know residential building codes well, and you know HOW to do the renovations themselves.

You need to be able to effectively recruit and manage crews. You have to be a good communicator, and you have to be skilled in dealing with people. Since this position is based on trust, you must know how to act the part of a manager and correctly build rapport with your crews and vendors.

You need to know how to spend money to get the best ROI. That means you need to walk into a house, look around, and think to yourself, “what is the best bang for our buck here?” Sometimes that means spending $15K and building out a scope that includes adding a half bath and moving a closet around, and sometimes that means spending $4K and building out a scope that just spruces some things up for maximum aesthetic appeal and gets the home back on the market “as is” for a fast sale due to the heat of this crazy market! You will do MANY of these $3-5-7K quick partial cleanups every single month so picking the right items to focus on is vital.

You need to be able to manage multiple projects at one time with little to no direction. That's why having a rehab background is so important. We do not have time to train anyone on how rehab works. We need someone to jump right in and execute on our projects.

This job is NOT really a fit if the only experience you have is in commercial construction, or in new builds. Rehab is an entirely different animal. If you’ve been someone else’s “rehab manager” before, but you didn’t build out scopes of work on your OWN, didn’t figure out how to maximize space in a house, didn’t do full QC inspections yourself, etc, then you haven’t really done THIS job before.

If you’re the PERFECT MIX of the technical knowledge and the people skills, then we NEED to speak with you. It WILL be your responsibility to OWN and shape the future of our rehab department, so you have to be not only okay with that but EXCITED by the prospect of it.

A few additional things :

Basic Candidate Requirements: Must be able to climb ladders, get in crawl spaces, roofs, lift 50-70+lbs as needed, and inspect every inch of a home without issues (knees, heights, claustrophobia, spider-phobia, flea-phobia, etc). Ability to operate ladders and other construction equipment safely. Semi-clean driving record as you will be driving a company vehicle. Again, a high degree of trust, honesty, and integrity as you will be overseeing crews and approving their payouts certifying the job is complete and inspected while working in our CRM and tracking systems.

Must live pretty darn close to Murrieta, CA as we will have rush scenarios occasionally and if you're 40mi out it won't be fast enough. Highly detail-oriented, able to read and write well, communicate well with staff, clients, vendors, tradesmen, crews, etc. Must be able to look professional and presentable to a client (polo and slacks).

Job (and our clients) requires a full background check with a drug screen! If you have ANY drug issues here at all outside of marijuana, this won't be a fit. If you have past criminal issues, they are viewed case by case (history, type of offense, how long ago, etc).

Anyway, I think we've given you a pretty solid idea of what this job entails, so if you have any other questions about it, you are free to reach out and ask. Being proactive with us really helps boost you to the top of the pack.
