This will allow you give a reference point on how much potential rent you can receive.

They won their first case in court that you are referring to.2.  

I don't provide landlord references, good or bad.

A Section 1031 exchange, often referred to as a “like-kind exchange,” allows for the deferral of capital gains taxes when you reinvest the proceeds from the sale of real property into another real property of like kind, used for investment or business purposes.Unfortunately, you cannot use a 1031 exchange in this scenario because the sale of a primary residence and the purchase of a small business do not meet the “like-kind” requirement.

@Mirlyne AndreRecommend 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.

It's the same case for hiring a highly referred plumber who will fix the leak and a few other things for the right price, or take the new guy no one has ever heard from and your leak has now turned into an explosion. 

The reality is we are not in business to protect any other landlord than those who we manage properties for, and the math for our client owners works out much better to get a bad tenant out as soon as possible.We will never give a bad tenant a good reference nor we will never serve as a reference for a bad tenant.

I always thought the saying “Cash is King” refers to buying power/ out-competing other offers that are using financing by offering cash, and that “Equity comes and goes but the cash always flows” was the trope of the “cashflow is superior to appreciation” crowd.

Look for reviews, ask for references, and verify that the properties are in desirable areas.
