Big box stores also typically have contractors they refer out or a list somewhere.

System is $2670.For reference, I am usually all-in furnace and AC for about $5000 for a single-family home in Milwaukee.

what information or references would you need?

Are you referring to syndications or something else more specific than just acquisitions? 

But if you decided to do your own thing, then ask for help afterwords, they would refer you to an attorney that handles this type of problem in your area Well, that scenario is what Pace Morby, dear leader, just did!

In return my tenants treat me and my properties very well, stay longer and refer friends.  

Going to make this into its own post for others to reference in future!

@Vishal ChandanRecommend 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.

- How long the unit sits vacant for repairs/cleaning, and finding a tenant- City/town/state the unit is inPlease respond with your thoughts, hopefully with the bullet points above as points of reference and stated as such in your reply (I know, I am asking for a lot from you all :) ) But, for example, a Class D property in Milwaukee, WI probably requires less turnover time, lower quality materials, not as precise of a paint job, etc, than perhaps a Class A property in San Francisco, which would require higher quality materials, higher labor costs, longer vacancy since more precise craftsmanship would be required, etc.

Beyond the formal checklists: no evictions, 3-4x income to rent, prior landlord references, employment checks; I would also look at things like responsiveness to communication when we are setting showing, were they on time to showing, did they look me in the eye and shake my hand, did they show up to showing high?
