Unit count about to triple, how to's of first full time employee

[Julian Sanchez]

Hello BP.

We're in the Cleveland market, (specifically Lorain county) and with the two properties we currently have under contract we'll be at 98 units in this county across 6 properties.

We'll now need a full time handyman that would need to be going to various locations.

We're debating a few things:

Do we provide him a vehicle?

What pay/benefits are competitive?

How do we find such individual?

Best way to screen them?

This would be easier if it was one 100 unit apartment complex in one location but instead it's a 20, 24, 42 unit and some quads spread out

Also we don't know what we don't know so please share your experience doing this if you're willing.

We're going to try first with our current handyman that just goes as needed
