Investment Analyst/Property Manager
Viver Properties | Boulder, CO | On-site, Full-Time
The Role
The Investment Analyst/Assistant Property Manager role is a hybrid for someone with the desire to enter the dynamic real estate investment management world with direct responsibilities in our growing operations platform, this new position will work with leadership on operations across our growing Boulder student housing portfolio and help with deal sourcing and underwriting. This is a high exposure role with growing responsibilities in nearly every part of the business — from leasing and maintenance to marketing and asset performance. 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 is essential as we expand to other national markets 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, hands-on role that demands curiosity, follow through and a sharp eye for what works.

- Become a true expert in the Boulder student rental market — including competition, incoming supply, demand drivers, and pricing trends to later apply to NE and MW target markets
- Set rent 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 economically viable investments on all types of properties
- Oversee turnover planning, 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
