Getting a property manager to tour a prospect with me?
Hello Everyone,
I'm getting ready to make an offer on my first (potential) deal in south King County, WA. It is a fourplex that I think is currently rented out at a significant discount to market.
I'd really like to have a local property manager either take a look at the property with me when I tour or at least look at some photos to give me their opinion of what it could rent for. However, in order to afford the property I would live in one of the units to qualify for an FHA loan, so the chances of the property manager actually managing the property in the near-term is basically zero.
Would a property management company typically do this? Would they want to charge a fee in my case, since they won't be getting the business? Any insight is welcome and appreciated!
Also, if anyone can recommend property management companies in south King County, I am all ears.
Many thanks!

@Ben Lukes I manage properties in Seattle and north to Everett so no, nothing near Federal Way, sorry. Typical mgmt charges range from 8-10% depending on the monthly rent amounts. And GO VIKINGS!!!
