What questions to ask when choosing a Property Management Company

[Janelle Byrkit]

Good morning all!

My husband and I are thinking about investing in our 1st multiplex (2-4 plex) rental. We will not be living in any of the units and the property will likely be 2-3 hours away (Sacramento/ Stockton, Ca.) from where we live (Hayward, Ca.), so we plan on hiring a Property Management company. When doing our research what would be some key things to look for, questions to ask, etc. Right now I've been Yelping companies but before I start making phone calls, I'd like to ask my friends & mentors at BP what are good questions to ask when choosing a Property Management company. 

Thanks so much!
