@Stephanie SelbyRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I really wish I had seen a detailed review of Foundation Property Management (FPM) or TurnkeyInvest here on BiggerPockets before signing on with them several years ago.

Quote from @Ryan Raven: You can usually be a property manager without a license as long as you are a direct employee of the owner.

The only property manager I know there handles commercial buildings.

Michael had built his portfolio from the ground up, starting with a single rental property.

As you progress your bookkeeping business, you'll likely want to learn how to export statements from a variety of property management platforms, as investor books are housed in bank accounts, spreadsheets, and a variety of property management and accounting software!

I manage a small rental portfolio that I am slowly adding to, and also have a few flips going at all times. 

We manage over 85 listings.  

Looks like decent PM software but again the support is huge for me.  

When a lease ends they’ll suggest new rents and if the tenant hold be offered a renewal. some will offer to transfer utilities for you when it goes vacant, all should handle the transfer when a tenant moves in  With 10 properties I don’t “talk” to my PM more than 2-3 times a year.
