Looking forward to seeing some interesting jobs I haven't really thought about. Bonus points if it's an IT job.

have you had to evict people yet?

Condos are privately owned, so any renters in the building are the individual unit owner's concern. I only deal with the common areas and amenities, if there's a flood in a unit I can shut off the water and call a plumber. If there are any other issues in a unit, I can suggest contractors for the owners to call. My job is mainly to coordinate contractors, keep an eye on things and make sure stuff is getting done.

If I ever have any residents who are causing issues, I just pass it up to the manager and condo board, so I don't have to deal with confrontations or anything like that.

I had a friend who managed a huge building of both private owned and rentals. it was trip what people did on their way out. some nightmare scenarios. and some people would give him things like a kitchaid mixer or old stereos or furniture etc. the evictions and occasional death were the hardest on him. he lasted about 7 years before the management company changed hands and started messing with his deal.
