How to Find Property Managers While Out of State

[Amanda Williams]

I have recently purchased a duplex in Elkhart, Indiana. But I live in Idaho. One tenant moved out and the managers are quoting 2500 to make the unit re-rentable. But when it was inspected for the purchase a month and a half ago everything was fine. I don't know if I trust the company, but no other property managers in the area responded to my requests for information.

What are some good tactics for finding a trustworthy property management company out of state, and has anyone else found a good one in the Elkhart area?

Thanks!
