Management Company Structure

[Joe Montone]

Hi All,

Thanks in advance for any feedback!  I currently work for a group of investors, helping them manage a multi family portfolio and developing their own property management company along the way.  I am curious at what point you all think it becomes difficult to maintain a "departmental" structure and the need to move to a "portfolio" based structure kicks in.  

Our portfolio currently sits just below 100 units across about 10 buildings.  We have one accountant and one person coordinating maintenance/tenant relations. It's already pretty hectic, and as we expand in size and territory covered, I wonder if this model is sustainable.  Does anyone have experience scaling a departmental structure to a larger portfolio?  I see it becoming a nightmare, especially from a maintenance/tenant relations perspective...  

Thanks again for any insight!
