Starting to like c class properties! If you can handle that you can handle anything!

 

I take a B or C property versus and A anyday! The residents in class A properties are a whole different species to me.

Idk my A Class residents treated me so much better than my B class. We’re the A class residents a bit entitled? Yeah. But the B class residents were so much worse. They were even more entitled, I couldn’t answer the phone without f you, f this place and then kicking the door when our office was “closed”. My B class property taught me not to go above and beyond for a resident because it will blow up in your face.

I would expect that on C properties, they are a bit more complex challenges. You are dealing with the Affordable housing sector and the demographic that is very undeserved. Their struggles are different. I have found it "easier" to relate to the residents because I grew up in that sector myself. I cannot relate to the struggles of class A residents and the feeling of "entitlement". Regardless of demographic, I manage all properties as "A" properties because I believe that there should be no difference in how we serve our residents. This class "A" treatment, in my experience, has been appreciated much more on my affordable properties where in the class A they expect all that and a bag of chips!!

Class C does not necessarily mean that it’s low income or tax credit. Class C properties can be a property that is older like 30 or 40 years old with very little or no amenities. It can be a well kept property in a higher income market.

Totally agree!!!

Valid

I feel the same way! You never know, and what a life lesson it has been. I used that "never know scenario" to get my dress code change approved. Jeans and tennis shoes on the daily now. (C class properties plus one section)

I’d say start with student housing, you’ll have seen (and heard and smelled) it all within a year

I beg to differ lol. Class A is testing me daily

I prefer C over A class

Ain’t it the truth

Yup and best feeling when you reposition them. Finish the work projects and better the homes of many. Equals better revenue and sense of pride

When I worked on site at class C properties I totally felt like the residents/prospects were more relatable than the class A clientele.

If nothing else you stay busy and the day goes by fast!!!

Have been on Class C’s for 20+ years, it will build your mettle and make you grey all at the same time

I’ve always had better experiences at A properties. I also take more pride in my community when I like it more lol…

I started at a C property and it prepared me well for an excellent career!
