MO Property Managers take

[Mark Guest]

I am looking for a PM in St. Louis MO area to handle rentals. 

In MO is there a PM certification required of companies ? (In addition to a brokers license). 

Also running into a lot of 15%, I am used to 10% plus first month for new renters. Is 15 the new going rate in this region ?

PM's feel free to connect - still looking

I agree, with a few of the earlier posts.. 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.
