Job Description

Second Avenue’s proprietary technology and exclusive relationships have allowed it to bring scale to scattered single-family investment homes, a strategy that was previously untenable as an institutional asset class. The Company provides all aspects of sourcing, acquisition, and property management services for its clients.
