Hiring first team members

[Colin Merrill]

Hey guys and gals,

I'm looking for some advice for my current "growing pains".  I currently have around 20 units that I own and manage while working a full time job and flipping a few houses.  My rentals net around $3000 per month after setting aside capex funds and taking care of all expenses.  I have some systems in place to take care of daily business but am running into a challenge with my time.  I hired someone very part time to help out with managing our few work orders but they aren't keeping their end of the bargain.  At this point I will probably have to let them go but I'm not sure if I want to hire a dispatcher again or if it should instead be a personal assistant or a handyman.  As you grew and hired your first employees how did you structure their positions and how would you do it now?
