So, owners mistakenly think price is the only differentiator – and look for a PMC like they’d shop for groceries☹We encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others by reading posts here on BiggerPockets from owners that picked a PMC solely by price and regretted it.We recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Even if someone gives you a referral, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that just because a PMC met their expectations, they’ll meet your expectations.

NYCHA responded with a reasonableness of $2200, unless I can provide comparables.Would anyone located in Brooklyn/Queens border be willing to provide me with a rent roll or redacted lease of a 2 bed 1 bath non Section 8 / non rent-controlled apartment currently or previously at $2700 and $2800?
