How much do apartment building supers make? Is it hard to become one? Can I get a unit for free/discounted price if I become one, like college dorm RAs? Thinking of picking up a side hustle. My super chills and barely does anything so I felt I could be one too

You want to live in the basement apartment that probably floods, clean the hallways of whatever the tenants do, take out garbage multiple times a week, deal with their furniture when they inevitably leave it on the curb, be called at any hour to come fix everything from clogged toilets to electrical issues, paint/clean between tenants, handles contractors for if something bigger needs fixed, all for $55k/year?
Nah

You can’t just become a super.. you have to start at the bottom. Be the porter > handyman > super

So I’m in luxury condo-op (not a rental) and we have what’s called a resident manager. He and his family live for free in a 3 bedroom apartment here (which sells for around 2.5M)…not sure what he does day to day since our building has other staff for concierge and packages and maintenance but I guess he handles all the complaints and issues in the building and manages all the staff? Not sure his salary but I mean, the fact he doesn’t pay rent is already amazing

To put into perspective, a 3 bedroom here rents for 10-12k a month depending on the floor/layout so…
