Need advice on hiring

[Emily N.]

I work for what used to be a small 'mom and pop' real estate company that has, over the years, expanded to owning almost 800 apartments across the country. They are dispersed in 5 different apartment complexes. They own and manage everything themselves and are not interested in hiring a property management company.

My question is: they are looking to hire somebody who will visit the properties monthly and give reports on general operation and cap ex improvements that may need to be done. Does anybody have experience with this sort of thing/can offer any advice on the how to find this person?
