A job title in disguise. While the most common duty of a property manager is to look after rental properties; they will also don the hat of a life coach, financial planner, health worker, psychiatrist, handyman, cleaner, counsellor and superhero just to name a few.
Luke thought he found a rental agent when he purchased his first investment property. Turns out he found a Property Manager.

The minion to a landlord. Usually an antagonistic go-between placed between the landlord and the people who actually live on site. There are more and more property managers now than there used to now that housing is being gobbled up by private equity (see Blackrock), and that means the absentee landlords are spread pretty thin, so they need to hire a small army of property managers to surveil and dictate the goings-on in each of their rental properties.
"This property manager sucks, she won't return our calls except to yell at us about having guests over."
