Property Manager Couple for Manufactured Home Community - Des Moines - SeaTac, WA

A part-time managing couple is being sought for a small, neighborhood mobile home community in South King County.

Retirement and medical coverage are not included. The position is ideal for a retired couple or couple working from home. One small pet is allowed.

The position is, on average, 20 hours/week -- i.e. busier in the summer months (some landscaping responsibilities) and at the beginning of each month (posting rent and issuing invoices.)
