Property Management Company Process

[Matt Rubin]

Hello everyone - I currently do not own any properties, but am starting to get the pieces in place to be poised to buy my first rental property in the relatively near future. I want to put processes & systems in place to make it  easier to expand, so I am interested in finding a property management company from the start. My question is what part of the timeline should a PM Co. come into play? Should I find one after I buy a property? After I make an offer on one? Or can i even start finding before I've found the right property? I just want to be in the best position to hit the ground running. All advice is welcome!
