Paul, keep me posted on your Facebook experience.  We also post there on occasion but mostly when looking for a low income tenants.  The quality I have found has been lacking, but perhaps posting on the Marketplace is a good option.

It looks like I am late to the game here but wanted to add United Properties to this list of property managers.  If any of you are unhappy with your current managers or looking to interview a new manager let me know.  I would be happy  to discuss property management, investing, and even connect you with a investor minded realtor from our brokerage!!

@Bryan Sandera I would love to discuss property management with you.  Based on the suggestions above I think you will find we offer superior services to the other companies mentioned.  Although I am somewhat bias, I would love to be apart of your research.  Check out United Properties of West Michigan. =)

@Jonathan Boyd  As a property manager overseeing approximately 600 units here in Grand Rapids, you are not alone.  We have been seeing this since early Oct.  Some of this is seasonal, however we suspect the new developments are having an impact.  We have had to get creative with leasing our properties.  If you would like to discuss this more please reach out to me privately.  We are anxiously waiting to see how this plays out next summer, but I think it's safe to say, rent prices are going to stabilize if not drop slightly here in Grand Rapids.  I also recently sent an owners update to all our owners, after surveying 5 other large management companies.  They all reported a slow leasing season and dropping prices.  FYI.

@Nick Watkins I would be happy to review the numbers with you.  I have been involved in a few creative financing deals, and have used commercial loans.  I also may be interested in a partnership, or wholesaling for top dollar.  Investors around the country are looking to invest in Grand Rapids, and often call us for listings.    Of course I would love to discuss property management as well, if there is a need.  Let me know if I can help.
