Delevan is a market where you will have to look at surrounding markets like Janesville, Elkhorn, and Darien to get your comps and rent information. 

I have purchased an off-market property from an investor who now wants to sell the rest of his portfolio.

@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.

Thank you for the information.

Quote from @Melissa Sejour: I am new to the real estate investing space and was wondering how do you go about researching the best areas to purchase properties?

If you do have to move because of a job, you would be safest (in my opinion, i am not giving legal advice or financial advice), i would sell that property to ensure that you did not just purchase with the goal of moving out early and taking advantage of lower rates and lower down payments for purchasing your home as a primary residence. 

I think you will find a lot of good information here. 

The only information I had to go on was with the last Lender informed me so maybe it was specific to the company they were with.

I have 23 properties in Kenosha and earlier this year purchased two duplexes in Racine.

Look for your states offer to purchase contract online or contact a realtor to get a blank copy. review the agreement to be sure assignment is not expressly excluded. if there is nothing excluding assignment from the contract then writing the words "/And or Assigns" after the name or company's name on the buyer's line should be sufficient.Good luck!
