We vetted a  handful of "turnkey" companies and REI Nation was the best in terms of reviews across multiple sources. 

Yes I often hear PPR and DLP in the same breath as they both seem to offer solid income with fairly low risk.

They have a formula based on the property and its features as well as the tenant's income and expenses. 

Id be happy to break-even with the rental income if I get all of my invested capital back.

I prefer to source all my deals off-market, which allows me to find properties with less competition and negotiate directly with motivated sellers.

You could pay the contractors but if you can be a strong referral source I'm sure they'd be happy to give you estimates.

MLS-listed deals are a bit harder to find, so investors here have had to get more creative in sourcing deals either through their own hustle (door-knocking, website, direct mail, driving for dollars) or finding good wholesalers to feed them deals. 

Typically, since I'm well connected because of flipping, HVAC, roofers, lawn care, carpenters, kitchen & bath & plumbers and electrical all are good sources.

@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.
