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...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
