Just know that A class areas tend to have very high income earners, and D does not.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone give you a referral, don’t make the mistake of assuming that PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.We also can’t believe how many owners hire the first PMC they speak with!

My first reaction is, I've heard that Colorado municipalities tend to be STR-unfriendly. 

That does help me find what I need in a PM referral partner though!

You can save money on commissions, get referral fees, and have access to a lot of local data through the MLS.

Airbnb price suggestions tend to run on the low side.

@Sharad BoniRecommend 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.
