Asking a Property Manager for Rental Advice

So I am looking for turnkey rental properties in a few cities around where I currently leave.  On a whim I decided to e-mail a couple of the local property management companies asking for advice on the locations, house configurations and rental price points that seemed to work out best.  Is it naive of me to expect responses?  I will eventually pick one of these companies to manage my rentals so it would be future business.  But on the other hand I am thinking that they might want me to end up in a non ideal situation so they can come and rescue me.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Scott

I don't see an issue. Even if the turn-key company provides you with a property manager, it's always good to have a backup. I suspect most of them will either don't respond or will help you but won't intentionally try to mislead you.
