Owner with 80+ properties (~200 units total) drowning in admin

Looking for some advice on behalf of a client.

He's got 80+ small residential properties, all single-family or very small multifamily, under 200 units total. Each property has property management, and his CPA firm handles the accounting. Should be sorted, but in reality, he's getting buried in all the insane shit that falls between the cracks; insurance claims, vendor coordination, being the liaison between the PMCs and the CPA, general admin that nobody else owns.

His time is getting eaten alive, and he wants to add a layer between himself and his property management companies, someone who can own the day-to-day administrative and operational coordination so he can get back to the three other businesses he owns.

The obvious answer feels like an Asset Manager, but I'm not sure that's right for a few reasons:

  1. The portfolio isn't really growing; this isn't a "find the next deal" role

  2. A good Asset Manager wants to be underwriting deals and optimizing capital structure, not chasing insurance claims on a single-family or fourplex

  3. The comp probably doesn't support it, and retaining anyone strong in that role long-term seems really hard given how administrative and "unsexy" the work actually is.

Has anyone been hired for something like this before? I'm thinking the right profile is more of a "Portfolio Operations Manager" out of a PMC who wants to step into an owner-side role.

Curious if anyone has solved this problem and what the profile and role actually looked like.

Thanks in advance!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
