Property Operations Associate

About the Company There are 17 million Americans who own rental property. Most don't want to be landlords anymore, but selling isn't a good option. Why? You'd lose income and appreciation, trigger tax liabilities, kick out your tenants, have to fix up the house – the list goes on! Flock is here to help. Flock's mission is to provide every retiring landlord with the most cost-efficient and seamless exit. Our first product is a tech-enabled 721 Exchange for residential landlords. Owners contribute properties into our professionally managed Fund, in exchange for passive equity ownership. It's a direct 721 Exchange model designed for everyday owners who want access to continued cashflows, liquidity, and diversification without triggering capital gains, disturbing tenants, or dealing with disposition friction. We're growing fast and are looking for smart, entrepreneurial hustlers who want to help build something category-defining. We're backed by top tier investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Primary Ventures, Renegade Partners, SUSA Ventures, 1Sharpe Ventures, and leaders from Invitation Homes and Opendoor.
