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.

Get specifics.Referrals are good, but I always ask for references from current out-of-state owners they work with.If they’re slow to respond while you’re interviewing them, or they’re vague about fees/screening, trust your gut — it only gets worse once they have your business.

He said he would send references but then just never contacted me again.

If you want previous LL reference checks I don't think any of these services by themselves will work.
