Looking for property mgmt recs in Anaheim/Orange County

[Brian Leung]

Hi BP Fam!

I found a deal in Anaheim on a quadplex that I'm very interested in. Even though I live pretty close in Los Angeles, I don't have much of a RE network in Orange County. 

Does any one have any property manager recommendations? I'm looking for property managers that service the Anaheim/Garden Grove area. Property manager will also have to be fluent in Spanish as most of the tenants only speak Spanish. The property itself is located in a great area (right next to Disneyland, across the street from a school, etc.) but a bit older in stature, around a C/C+.

Thanks in advance!
