Management co. no contact agreement

[Brandon Obrien]

I'm trying to choose a rental management company for my first investment property. I was told by one company that they have a requirement that the owner cannot contact the tenant.  Its seems odd first to give up the ability to check in on what is really going on with the tenant manager relationship and second I sure would want to be able to inspect. I have not seen their contract yet. I only spoke on the phone. I may meet with them when I fly into FL for more detailed info. They didn't seem open to emailing the agreement to me ahead of time and that seems odd as well. Reasoning being they wanted to explain the details face to face. I would sure like to contact the tenant and find out if the management company is treating them well. Is this common? only thing that comes to my mind is they don't want me to find out if the tenant is not being taken care of. Being my first property I want to know as much as I can about how things are going. Should I even meet with them or move on?

Thanks,

Brandon
