Thank you for your input Tracy. 

I own a Property Management Company in Greenville, S.C.. We have been growing steadily since we started the business . I'm getting to the point where I will need to hire another employee in the next 6 months, but I'm just not sure what that position should be. 

We currently manage just under 200 properties with 1 PM (all leasing and tenant relations), 1 assistant, and myself (client management, maintenance, project management, and general management of the business).  We also do a lot of rehabbing for our clients, and our own projects, so my time is mostly spent on those projects. 

I'm thinking of hiring a maintenance manager, but not sure if that is the right direction. We will most likely be managing 250 properties by mid 2018. 

Any advice would be appreciated. 

I have noticed (in the past 30 days) a little slowdown, but we seem to go through this every year when the kids go back to school. 

Hopefully it is short term. 

8-10 % should cover your vacancy costs in Greenville. 

Good luck Tyler, if you have any additional questions feel free to call me. I'll be glad to give you my opinion. We rehab and manage a lot of SF's in Greenville, so may be able to help you out. 

If you are keeping this as a rental, and the old ones can be salvaged, I would keep them. We reuse old cabinets in our Greenville rentals all the time. 

Just clean them up real good and paint them. 

Best of luck. 

Josh, is this property a flip, or a rental ? I own a full service property management company, and we do a lot of rehabbing for our clients. If you want to discuss the project give me a call. 

Creighton, give me a call. I may be able to help you find houses. 

We have used Brandon Smith, Smith and Shin for 7 years. Most if not all of his clients are in Real Estate. I would highly recommend Brandon for any real estate investor.
