@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.

I'm currently renovating my rear unit and it has the perfect layout to split into 2 units by adding a wall and an additional front door.

I’d be happy to have a conversation about the current inventory and investment opportunities in the area.

If your rent ends up being comparable to your current mortgage, it might not give you the cash flow flexibility you’re hoping for.

I currently have eight out-of-state investor clients that I've worked with in the past (some on more than one purchase) and they were all attracted to the Lansing, MI area for it's affordability and steady cashflow. 

Do you guys have a current home? 

Do you have a W-2/salaried job currently? 

I'm currently investing in the Milwaukee area.

Hopes this helps anyone looking currently.
