How does the contract with Metron work?
What about maintenance if a device breaks?
What other questions should I be asking?

I've been looking at similar for multifamily properties. Metron and Southern Water Management are two that we've been talking to. I think for just one or a few, you could just DIY it with Amazon hardware.

Quote from @Melanie Thomas:
My recommendation is base salary plus incentives surrounding KPI's. The employee should "win" when the PMC/Owner wins. Good luck & happy investing!
Thanks. Any example KPIs and bonus amounts?

Hi All, Not sure I'm posting in the right place but it says this is the Rental Property Management Forum, but it's about the business end.
I'm looking for some guidance from other PMs who have created a profit sharing bonus program with their staff. We only manage our own portfolio right now, so the bottom line is close to my heart. I want them thinking like owners. I'd like something that's based on stability (retention) and income. They obviously cannot control some costs, but they do have input on things like maintenance and repairs and some other things. I'd also like for them to be aware of costs like insurance and taxes, so that they have a better understanding, but I'm not sure that's really that important. I'm not looking to reinvent the wheel. I'd really prefer to just adopt something that another PM has already used and found success with, or use it at least as a framework that we adapt from.
Appreciate any feedback that you think might be helpful.

Quote from @Marc Winter:
BTW, if you have hardwood or even pine under the carpeting, you might consider refinishing the wood. It's a cost-saving up front and lasts longer than many other choices. (Not in bathrooms).
Good luck. Keep investing and moving forward!
Mark, we have some units that have hardwoods that we're repairing/restoring. The bathrooms and kitchens also had them. More damage in the bathrooms, but overall not too bad. Curious though on pier and beam, what's a good bathroom floor to put down? We don't want to do anything that will crack with settling, like ceramic tile.
