Investment Analyst/Property Manager (intern)
Investment Analyst/Property Manager Summer Intern
Viver Properties | Boulder, CO | On-site, Full-Time
The Role
This summer internship will lead to full-time offer depending on mid and final perfomance reviews, ideal for a graduate with the desire to enter the dynamic real estate investment management world with direct responsibilities in our growing platform. It is a new position in a very small team across our Boulder student housing existing portfolio but with hands-on new deal sourcing and underwriting. A second responsibility will be to improve our in-house property management function with the use of a newly adopted software suite. This is a high exposure role with direct responsibilities in nearly every part of the business: from leasing and maintenance to marketing, asset performance, proforma underwriting and market research in Boulder and beyond. This is a newly created entry-level position where you will be able to learn other parts of our successful real estate investment platform while helping shape strategy as we scale.
Interest in fundamental real estate research and investment cycle as a General Partner (managing 3rd party capital) is essential as we expand to other campuses using the tested Boulder model. The role will be critical on setting rents, structuring lease terms, connecting with other market agents, sourcing new deals, aggregating market data in a very opaque student housing sector, guiding acquisition decisions and identifying ways to improve both the resident experience and investor returns. This is a highly collaborative role that demands curiosity, follow through and a sharp eye for what works.
Key Responsibilities
- Coordinate all aspects of property operations, including leasing/showings, maintenance, resident services and vendor relationships with existing software (Turbotenant) and new modules we are integrating (accounting and property reports)
- Interact with social media manager for ideas and implementation of marketing plans to substantially increase the brand's exposure
- Become a true expert in the Boulder student rental market — including competition, incoming supply, demand drivers, and pricing trends to later apply to other target expansion markets while leveraging lessons learned in Boulder
- Recommend rental rates, lease terms, and renewal strategies that reflect both market conditions and business goals
- Drive marketing and leasing strategy — from planning campaigns, selecting leasing platforms (Zillow, Ralphies List, etc) to refining internal systems, defining unique differentiation strategies and deciding on viable investments
- Oversee turnover planning (summer/fall move-out/in), preventive maintenance and long-term capital planning
- Implement scalable systems and processes that improve efficiency and raise the standards on overall quality of living spaces and services
- Collaborate on acquisitions and due diligence by contributing local market insights and operational assumptions
- Ensure compliance with Fair Housing laws, city ordinances, and lease agreements
- Own budgeting and financial performance for the managed portfolio to achieve target performance metrics
