I’m struggling to find a good property manager in Columbus, GA and rural Alabama. There seems to be a lack of property managers and the ones that are there aren’t very good at all. Any suggestions for finding good ones in smaller markets like these?

Hi @Gennaro Coscia and welcome to BiggerPockets!

I'm active in Columbus myself, so I'm curious: What the specific shortcomings of the PMs you are finding there?

@Mitch Messer it seems to be a lack of urgency. A nice rental has been sitting vacant for way too long(almost a year). We’ve dropped the price and still nothing. We aren’t local to GA anymore, so it’s definitely difficult to find good people now.
