@Ankush R.Recommend 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.

This quick transaction showcased our team's ability to identify opportunities and execute effectively, resulting in a strong return on investment.

Be careful with these transactions and get advise from a knowledgeable real estate attorney who works with these to make sure all steps are taken to property protect yourself. 

it's not a funding source you should use for your first few transactions. 

And any thoughts on how you are going to fund your first transaction?

We're based in Kansas City, MO, and are currently generating just over $1M in revenue annually (~50 transactions a year).

As to the grandfathering - I went to the main library and looked at the criss-cross/Haynes directories.

Buying correctly is another large factor (in any RE transaction).Of the comments above from Evan, while it may appear to be scary and cautionary (as it should), don't let it discourage you either.

@Bridget Grant just to add going foward, in your search for a lawyer who specializes in these types, look hard for a very good real estate attorney who will work going forward with you on any transactions you make in the future.

Or do I need to be paid separately since I will not be using my Real Estate License for the transaction?
