How to find a good Property Manager

[Alisa Gerald]

How do we find a good Property Manager in Virginia Beach?  We've read all the typical interview questions (like how many units do you manage, etc.) but I have some real questions... Why do you charge that huge Leasing fee if professional pictures are not done and most advertising is free?  Where do you find your maintenance contractors? Do you inspect repairs made before you pay the invoice?  Do you require (when possible) before and after pictures for repairs made?  Can the owner participate in the semiannual inspections? How do you keep up with normal maintenance on the property?  

Am I asking too much? 

Thanks
