Hope all of that makes sense but post more if you would like. 

@Tannia CastroRecommend 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.

Thanks Kevin great post..

Alternatively, consider bridge loans, HELOCs, or post-purchase refinancing to preserve liquidity.

The data @Devin Conley posted is pretty solid from my experience (I do not know Devin nor how he sourced the data, just going by my own investing experience).  

If you ever see someone offering terms that are too good to be true, you might as well just post your SS# and banking information on IG.
