@Chantelle LewisRecommend 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.

Another would be you are building other units next door/nearby and you can chalk this build up to the "learning curve".I didn't see a CFO on GLH or GLC's website, but I'm sure you have someone doing this type of financial analysis for your developments?

Looking forward to learning from your experiences. 

.#2 - Learn how to run comps so you know the value of the property better than anyone. #3 - Have finances in order (i.e) is this going to be bought through conventional, cash, HML, etc.

The 60% LTV is based on the ARV, and that is why practicing calculating the ARV is an important skill that can be learned over time and with a lot of practice.
