Hey @Beth Simmons. I responded to your other post about finding a Realtor. I do property management for my clients the purchase the asset with me. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help you with anything.

It is very important that you make sure you take the time to interview and have candid conversations with a PM company. Let them know your strategy, your goals and what your business plan is to ensure that your business plan aligns with theirs and you can both work towards the same goal. If they are not aligned then simply keep looking till you find one that is.I would look up NARPM and start with them..Below are some questions I would think would be a good starting point for you to see who really treats their company like a business or a hobby.
