Property Management Referrals

[Stanci March]

I'm looking for good property management companies. I know this is an OP forum but am looking for managers in several communities throughout NE Kansas (as far west as Junction City, South to Emporia, east to eastern burbs of KCMO, and north to St. Joe). It could be different companies for each community. Who do you use and like?

I've had the best luck getting good leads on PMs from subs working for me. My best, 10+ year sub referred me to a good pm company. Subs will also be able to tell you if they pay their bills quickly. If they trust you, they'll probably have some unique insights to the management company which no one else will have. 

As you probably know, you've still got to vet the living crap out of them. Asking about repair costs for me has been a big deal. If the management company is getting a bad deal on expectable repairs, like changing a furnace or air conditioner, that's a bad sign. 

Good luck
