Hi @Justin Rockitter,

BP is the definitely the best place to find this info. I found that this blog post by @M. Ian Colville really nails it.

Some of these questions will be answered by doing some quick due diligence on the PM, however a question I would ask in addition to #7 is... asking them to explain the process for an eviction. 

The most important piece of advice in that blog is following up with question #2. References are essential before committing to a PM. Even if it's a larger PM firm, attempt to find references on the individual who is assigned to your property. Good luck!
