@Stacey OlsonRecommend 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.

With that strategy, I'm not a real estate agent BUT I am also reading a book called "BUY, REHAB,RENT, REFINANCE, REPEAT.

This is a more advance tenant placement tactics people who lack the experience or with an innocent mind can't read others properly should do more often before they relying on their read. 

People who get evicted could care less about a judgement or the collection process. 

Be careful with flood zone properties.

Wow, you are firing off questions faster then I can read them and they are all good, but pretty general.

Pros - guaranteed rent, tenants stay longer on averageCons - more mgmt needed (lease violations), they tend to not take great care of properties (increase maintenance expense or deferred maintenance)

Please read it and get in touch with me ASAP.Thank you,Susan

Go search the topic "Lifestyle Asset University" here on Bigger Pockets and you will see a longer thread with a lot of opinions (most are not members) but still worth a read as there are a half a dozen paid members from our group who have commented on that thread.We were formerly called Lifestyle Asset University, but I didn't realize that you couldn't use the word University in your company name here in Utah so we changed our name to Vodyssey. 

Sejin - Have you read your fair share of books as well as listen to podcasts?
