Investing in Tampa but can we trust Property Managers?

[Account Closed]

Hi Everyone, 

Such a nice website! Thank You for people who are behind this!

We want to invest in Tampa and Clearwater areas.

But we stay in CA. But we found a property managers online who are ready even to purchase a home for us.

So my question is how to check if property management company is authentic? Is there some ways to check the company title online?

Also they are referring us to local lenders. Again, how to check if those are legal? 

Your opinions and answers would be a great help for us!

Thank You!
