How to properly staff an apartment complex?

[David A Perez]

I am just starting my venture into real estate and I am currently thinking about where I want my plan to lead me to.

I want to start with triplexes and fourplexes, but eventually I want to start buying 40+ unit properties.

Is there a rule of thumb for staffing?

How do you handle apartment complexes without onsite staff?

At how many units would you have onsite handymen and office staff?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
