@Stacey OlsonRecommend 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.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

You can get into an owner-occupied property with little money down, gain property management experience and possibly save on maintenance/construction expenses.All the best!

Here's the deal, new home builders have lots of inventory, sure they want to sell to owner occupants that are going to live there and get regular owner occupant mortgages like conventional, FHA and VA. 

That inventory is being absorbed slowly, but from the sidelines it’s been tough to watch owners struggle through slow lease-ups Sounds similar to what you're currently facing.  

Owners hate that PMCs charge them - for anything!

They are way too guest centric and often leave owners hanging.VRBO and AirBNB should be all you use in addition to looking at direct booking as well.You can rent an ozone machine which should take care of the smoke smell.

Im located in Phoneix,Az, what is the best method to find homes that are in foreclosure or about to be repossessed, how do you go about contacting the stressed owners .

that is odd..... but normally the owner does pay the HOA in Michigan - however, it could be negotiable so i would check with the landlord on that one. 

Then, file for MN LLC, with the Wyoming LLC being the owner of said LLC.

., many property owners will be willing to share information after a serious offer has been presented.
