@Dwight HenningRecommend 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.

The previous Owner had purchased the property in 11/23 and did a comprehensive update and then had to suddenly get out of it.

Remember that for most owners, their business is very personal to them.

This will give you more time to shop rates/fees than to be under the gun with a purchase loan. 

You'll also need to know your rights because the Review Boards often try to intimidate owners.

we can use the Gun analogy..

Often, owners beat up PMCs for a low price, but fail to understand the PMC will often cut corners to make sure they are still profitable. 

Some have done owner financing with an agreement to pay all interest and equity splits when the home sells others have done it where they do a quitclaim adding their name onto title with the seller so once rehab is done the seller can't try and cut you out of the deal. 

I've been made an offer of 50% down and for me (my Solo) to owner finance the other 50%.

You can get the "owners of multiple properties" list in DealMachine, and also DealMachine has pierced the corporate veil!
