Interview many, ask them the same questions, and find one that seems to fit.

I am based in Texas and I understand that there is a lot of affordable duplexes in Westmoreland County for a low as $90,000 on Zillow.If you are looking to House Hack like @Madison Stoner  I recommend you interview some local Investor Minded Real Estate Agent and hire the one you feel most comfortable with.

Browsing through YouTube, I came across Ashley and Tony's episode (Real Estate Rookie), in which they interviewed Bryan.

The track record of others i'd interviewed and my experience so far has been great.

I can interview prospective tenants a bit at the open house too, informally. 

Try interviewing at least three managers.1.

Try to interview at least 3-4, then lock one in.2.

In the beginning I'd recommend using a reputable GC, as you become more experienced you may (or may not) want to manage your project.personally before interviewing GC's I'd educate myself on Michigan contractors license laws and requirements.

One thought if Scottsdale still owned the notes was, see if we can buy them at a discount and make a spread on re-selling them, but having seen that interview, you're probably correct that they had already sold them on anyways, keeping that spread themselves (which never got back to investors!

Listen to podcasts like the BP Rookie Podcast because they interview all newer people to the business so almost everything will be relevant for you.
