@Cassidy Burns, the rule of thumb that I've heard from very experienced large MFR investors (100-200+ units) is one person on staff for every 50 units.

Visit with the local Board of Realtors (the staff not the temp officers. 

I don't know about a broker license, but I did hear that you need to be a realtor to manage other properties - or at least have one on staff to handle the leasing.

So, some of us prefer passive investing with others who have full time staff dedicated to deal flow. 

More extensive remodeling would add a 1bdrm apt and a 2 bedroom apt.Property is in a rural area, about 30min away from large ski resorts and 30min away from two popular destination towns that are turning into the cape for hipsters.Potential for the property @ 30% occupancy is:150*12= 1,800 (per day)(1,800*365)*.3= 197,100Operating expense are probably close to 100k, (high end) for heat, maintenance, cleaning staff.

Of course, the commercial appraisals would be completely impartial and maintain the highest ethical standards.

Marketers typically sell in many different markets and often don't have staff in any of them, so you are taking third-hand info about the market you're investing in - again it's just another step of separation between you and your investment.I'd say you should do some more research here on BP about what constitutes a true full-service turnkey company (everything done by one company) and how to vet different providers and markets.

Business must be going well for Scott here on BP if he is adding staff to posting on here. 

I had staff working for me in the USA offices. 

I'd pose the question to you I posed to my staff...
