@Lynn McGeein Thank you.  Sounds good.  We will try to find one like that in Virginia Beach.  Let me know if you have any recommendations.  

@Lynn McGeein @William Joseph @Nathan Gesner @Account Closed  Thank you all for your responses.  Lots of helpful information.  Our main concern is maintaining the condition of our property.  The best recommendation I have heard from PM interviews is to attend the semi-annual walk through.  But that does not insure that any work will be done in a professional workmanship manner.  Do PMs ever review the completed work for this?  Or do they just rely on the tenant's acceptance?  Any other suggestions on how to maintain our property before major repairs are needed?  We live about 4 hours away, so we can visit periodically.  

Thanks again for any suggestions.

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
