Self Manage Strategy

Hello!

I was hoping that anyone who self manages can share their current business plan - specifically if they have 100 + units. Does anyone employ a full time maintenance technician? Do you currently provide a vehicle? We currently have 1 maintenance tech and finding we need more help particularly when we need “bigger jobs” completed. We are constantly keeping him busy (all day with appointments) but finding it almost impossible to finish “be backs” and/or schedule larger concerns. We are really only equipped for minor repairs and finding we have a hard time “completing” anything fully because we are off to the next job. I am debating hiring another technician (car, gas, etc) to split up the schedule and then come together when larger jobs pop up. But now I would have 2 employees, vehicles to maintenance, insurance, etc…. Or I can begin to establish a relationship with a handyman service. I think we all can agree both avenues can be difficult. I haven’t even began to think about what is the most cost effective route. Anyone been down this road that can shed some wisdom? Thank you!
