If you know other investors in the area or property managers, you can always ask them for who they would use and if they have any referrals otherwise you'll have to just go through trial and error to find people you trust to do the work.Sounds like a bit of bad luck, did you do an inspection on the places before buying?

This is called trial and error and it works as you are living proof of.

Upon purchasing free trials from the 3 credit bureaus website my credit is 50 points higher than what was being shown on creditkarma.com (I encourage everyone who uses that site to also get scores from the actual credit bureaus...

The "free trials" are not worth it.

Built those arm muscles up and your thighs, tell that child to go an a damn diet... lift her up and start running from that lion.. or better yet.. take a stick  and beat the living crap out of that lion with it and say to hell with you.

It is a trial and error but, if your numbers work in that market, you can do well.

As you eluded to, the process seems very straightforward with a basic recipe to follow, but I think many aspiring syndicators underestimate the trials and tribulations we are faced with on a daily basis up until closing.

Think about it,you can only manage so many doors,the clients that have 10 and up units get special treatment,if your just starting out will be tough.Good PMs out there but you will have to go through trial and error.

Also trial and error lol.

I have my popcorn with a tall glass of diet milk waiting for this answer.
