Updated almost 13 years ago,
Hybrid manager/maintenance person position
So, I'm needing to bring someone on board in a capacity that does the following:
1. Deals with tenants and occasionally collects rents
2. Oversees some infrequent major repairs
3. Occasionally completes lease renewals
4. Can handle and complete light repairs and do general handyman type work.
5. Can go to a home and assess needed repairs / send me a picture of work that needs to be considered.
There's probably not enough work here to bring on two separate people for this situation.
Also, based on the fairly minimal repair requests I field every month, usually between 3-6, hiring a manager doesn't make a lot of sense, as I'd expect that expense to come in around 900-1200 per month.
Has anyone tried going this route and has it worked out well for you? I'm looking for someone in the STL metro area and would also welcome and appreciate any referrals.
I'm essentially trying to get the best of both worlds, someone to handle light management duties and light repair duties.
Any pitfalls I should look out for?
Thanks
