Direct answer

Full-time on-site PM starting around 60–80 units.

Expanded explanation

Below 60 units, third-party off-site PM handles efficiently. Above 80, on-site leasing and maintenance becomes operationally necessary and pencils into expense ratio.

Examples

  • 100-unit apartment with on-site manager + maintenance tech.
