One of the most successful PM companies I know has 900 units under management and he has 16 employees.

Has about 50 something employees and otherwise doing good in business. 

I was planning on building systems around dealing with clients, then hire an employee to handle them once we start to scale, but for now was going to self manage.Any idea on how could research the amount of tourism that my market generates? 

I know you have to in your markets simply because the contractors don't have any credit or any money to front 5k on a job.. that's the issue most that are not in tuned simply don't understand.. they don't understand the difference between a high quality contractor with great subs.. and a low end rental rehab contractor.I mean my dry wall contractor here in Oregon has 600 employees and a JET..

Ohh and Facebook Marketplace is a great tool to find employees and to find customers. 

By being at his beck and call you are making him feel empowered to treat you like his employee.

I have just been looking at turnkeys basically in HAR.

They offer benefits to part-time employees. 

The motel and diner are for the exclusive use for UP employees, not the general public. 

Here goes:1) Work smarter, not harder.2) Don't buy liabilities that go down in value; buy assets that increase in value.3) Don't work for someone else to make them rich (W-2 employee); work for your self (i.e. own a business).4) Use other people's money to buy assets.5) Get creative (some would say reckless) with deducting standard expenses as business expenses.
