Finding a Good PM - What to Ask?

[Sara Bradford]

Hi BP! 

I am 85% completion on my first property (2 doors) and have two more in the permit stages. I am looking to hire a PM company to handle the day to day on my behalf as I am terrified of the "professional tenants" that have plagued the Ontario, Canada rental market.  

How do I screen for a good PM? What questions should I be asking? What qualifications/offerings should I be looking for?  What a reasonable percentage rate for their services?

Thanks for any input!
