Section 8 Property Manager in Birmingham, AL

New investor in Birmingham AL area - I'm closing on my first property, that I intend to turn into a Section 8 rental. As an out-of-state investor I'm looking for a qualified and reliable property manager. Look for recommendations. So far I've been recommended First Choice. Can anyone speak from their experience?

    If it's multifamily, I would go with KP Commercial. If it's single family, in my opinion, your best choice would be Jackie Semaan. Thanks for investing in our wonderful city!

    We're in the process of moving at least one of our SFR units to a new PM. @Melissa Nash and @Brian Tunnell I'd be interested in your recommendations also.  Thanks.

    For SFR management these days, Jackie Semaan would be my first choice, if you can get her. http://semaanrealty.com/agents...

    @Lev D. I use Evernest for all my properties in Birmingham. So far they're okay. They have a great online portal for tenants and owners.

    Hi Lev.

    I don't have much value to add here, but am interested in connecting and hearing about how things went/are going with your Birmingham rental and the management of it. Also, congrats on your first property!

    I've used First Choice for a couple of years for some section 8s in Birmingham, and they've been great.

    I know this post is about PM, but could I ask everyone about their experience with Section 8? Why did you get into that and are there any tips or tricks you utilize? I have new tenants that are Section 8 and they'll be moving in May 1. I've always thought Section 8 was bad due to the stigma around it.

    A few years ago I had four rentals in Birmingham and was very satisfied with Barrington Real Estate which managed my properties.
