Community Manager Manufactured Housing Community PLUS HOUSING

Managing a manufactured housing community takes a different skill set than running a conventional apartment property, and not everyone figures that out until they're already in the chair. The resident relationships run deeper, the community dynamics are more complex, and the manager is often the first call for everything from lease enforcement to neighbor disputes to questions about local ordinances. Investment Property Group is hiring a Community Manager for Alpine Vista Village, a 123-home MHC in Loveland, Colorado.

IPG is a private investment and management firm out of Park City, Utah, with roughly 150 properties across 13 states spanning multifamily, manufactured home communities, and RV parks. This is a fee-managed portfolio with real infrastructure behind it: HR, compliance support, systems. You're not operating in a vacuum.

The role covers the full spectrum of community operations. You'll oversee rent collection and delinquency management, review receivables, handle bi-monthly deposits, and stay on top of the numbers. You'll also run the human side of things: hiring, training, evaluating, and when necessary, disciplining on-site staff. Resident concerns land on your desk. So do vendor relationships, compliance reporting to partner agencies, and liaison work with local development offices and law enforcement. Legal work-up for the property falls under your scope too. It's a broad mandate, and that's by design.

One thing to understand going in: this position includes on-site housing, a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom manufactured home with a fenced yard and storage shed. Living on site is required. The schedule is Monday through Friday, 8 to 5, but anyone who's managed a community at this scale knows the job doesn't always observe business hours. Compensation runs $26 to $30 per hour depending on experience, with the housing provided on top of that.

What separates a strong candidate here is comfort with the manufactured housing demographic specifically. MHC residents often have long tenure on-site, strong opinions about community standards, and real sensitivity to how management treats them. The manager who does well here builds trust incrementally, enforces rules consistently without being heavy-handed, and understands that conflict resolution at a land-lease community carries different weight than a quick turnover apartment situation. Experience managing delinquency without burning the resident relationship is genuinely useful here.

What IPG is looking for

• At least one year managing a manufactured housing or multifamily community of 100 or more homes or units
• Demonstrated experience with rent collection, delinquency follow-up, and basic accounting reporting
• Familiarity with property management software and standard accounting platforms
• Ability to market vacant lots or homes and maintain occupancy
• Working knowledge of Fair Housing requirements
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for resident, vendor, and agency interactions
• Valid driver's license

Loveland sits in the northern Front Range corridor between Fort Collins and Denver, a market that has seen steady population growth and continued pressure on affordable housing supply. MHCs in this region tend to have low vacancy and high resident retention, which means the manager's job tilts more toward operations and community standards than toward lease-up hustle. That's worth knowing before you apply.
