Happy to connect and send over my referrals for PM companies that will actually take care of you!

Best Starter Markets: For investors just starting, which cities tend to have good entry-level opportunities for multi-family units but aren’t too saturated or risky?

If you need help finding cost seg partners, feel free to reach out as I have a few good referrals that I have used with my clients in the past. 

A lender with a real estate license can NOT pay you a referral fee for sending him a loan.

Thanks for the mention @Nathan Gesner@Jodi-Ann Birch we don't do business up in Flint, but we have encountered Gebrael Management a few times as they've tried to do business in Metro Detroit.They seem to have good processes, but please validate they will meet your expectations.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.
