All of them are tough to get good help in, meaning you'll likely find your best helpers through word of mouth and local networking.

Also, be sure you have proper liability coverage for whatever you are doing, and worker's comp if you are paying "helpers".

I own 50 units, and do most of my own maintenance, leasing, tenant relations....I have some part time helpers for painting, cleaning and bookkeeping and on call plumber and pest control.

I’ve heard of some partnerships where the GC included all labor (owner and his helper guys) as part of his share.

Starting someplace big like Greystar might teach you management basics, but not real estate investing strategies....A plus to this is you could learn to turn units, interview guests and close contracts for rent, etc...Without a degree you might not be able to be a "Property Manager" but you could possibly be a leasing agent driving the golf carts around with possible renters, and etc..Now this is not not a high paying job, and what you need is CASH Money.So if you have an opportunity to get into a high paying trade, such as an electricians helper working your way to master electrician, your wallet will be much more full over time.Read Rich Dad Poor Dad<--(that).Good Luck!

I am an Army Physician Assistant (aka Doctor Helper). 

These guys are always looking for good helpers.

I have no one on my payroll at all and tend to hire helpers give me a hand once and a while.

@Blake Boyles BP calculator is part of helper in analyzing deal.

Nice to hear that another M.B.A. is not afraid of swinging a hammer :) I do most of my work myself, or with friend/family helpers.
