If you need a lender I can refer one, they do their underwriting in house and it's really quick and hassle free.  

@Jared Pinkus again I ask, what regulations are you referring to as being too stringent for STVRs?

Hello BiggerPockets community,I was referred to this community by a local real estate investor in Colorado.

Hi @Juan MoraThis website is a great reference point for figuring out what each area is like.

#1 This website is a great reference point for figuring out what each area is like. https://www.areavibes.com/It gives you a total LIVABILITY score for each street and zip code. 

For reference, we've bought 150+ units and probably overseen $2-3m in renovations, and we still own 51 units.

Recommend 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.

In my experience it helps keep pre-applicants organized and is an actual sight with a google-able name so it doesn't seem as scammy.The background check and credit fee is $30 paid by the prospective tenant but I always tell people applying for my units ahead of time what my credit and background requirements are and that if they pass those qualifications (plus the reference checks) and sign + pay the deposit that I will reimburse them the application fee.

Just hit up as many brokers in the area as I can find and have them refer MF agents?

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.
