property management in rural area

[Anthony Polcyn]

I am an investor in a small town in a rural area ( Jackson Ohio ).  Very busy with a full time job and my personal property management skills are not so great.  I have tried local realtors, and a few other individuals to manage my properties for me with less than stellar results.  I can find really good deals, but not good management.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find quality property management in small markets? I have struggled for years, and management is by far my weakest link.  Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

@Anthony Polcyn it can definitely be difficult in a small market. I've searched and didn't find any online but I literally spent less than a minute looking.

I just searched Zillow and found three rentals listed, two of them listed by the same person. Maybe that's a manager? Maybe it's an investor that's willing to take on management of other properties?

Other than that, keep calling real estate agencies to see if they have any recommendations. The other option is to get really good at it yourself so it's not so difficult and time-consuming.
