What questions do you ask when interviewing property managers

[Teresa Phillips]

I’m considering purchasing my first property. I have looked in several areas nearby but I’m interested in a property about two hours away. It would be much less expensive and it appears that that market appreciates at the national average rental rates increase  at a slightly higher rate than the national average. I believe I need a property manager because I have a lot to learn and because I will be two hours away. I am unfamiliar with the contractors in that area. The property I’m looking at already has a property manager so if he’s good I would like to keep him. What questions should I ask when I speak to him? He does not appear to be a member on bigger pockets.
