Ok I've sat down with a couple property managers and companies and I'm going with reliable they have 1300 properties locally and the best prices. The owner spoke with me for over an hour and was very open about every part of there business. Steve Ferguson is another highly recommended but he doesn't have his own people to do maintenance and repairs so hes paying top market prices for that stuff and he charges half months rent for new tenants. Reliable has all in house maintenance and excellent in house prices. So I guess I'll see how it goes on my 5 properties. How that helped guy let me know what yall think. Oh pristine never called me back so I dont know about them and premier aren't take any new properties right now.

@Brett Wagner I would take the emotion out of it and run the numbers on your property that you live in right now on BP rental calculator and try not to bias(which isn't easy on your personal property). If it makes sense as a rental then you have a option if it doesn't then keep going on your planned track. Remember things like the 1 or 2 % rule and what you want to cash flow to make it worth it.

@Matthew Miller I'm in the same hunt right now and I'm setting up interviews with different management company's so I'll keep you posted about that. As for reliable I have a friend who works for them and some other people who have used them with no issues but not a personal recommendation from me. I will keep in touch about what I find out.
