Property managers that manage apartment buildings are usually given a base salary and a yearly bonus (bonuses are paid if they meet quotas on the number of units they rent). Apartment managers will likely earn higher salaries in larger apartment complexes because they generate more revenue to support the higher salaries. Apartment property manager's salaries are higher in California, Illinois, or Washington, D.C., because housing and living costs are higher in those areas.
While some property managers possess only a high school diploma or an associate's degree, pursuing a bachelor's degree in a related field or a master's in business administration should boost a property manager's salary.
