I have referred a loan out of state based on NOI, cap rate at purchase, room for increase income and purchase price vs market value.Maybe I didn’t articulate the intent of the post as clearly as I hopedFor anyone who has bought multi family out of state, “what are gives you the warm and fuzzies about a deal”:Obviously not cap rate, but maybe vacancy rate,  Cash on Cash ,GRM, IRR, Unlevered free cash flow, Cities over 250k?

Sorry if this post is confusing I’m just trying to figure it all out.

@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.

Just added the "official" first meetup post in the Events & Meetup Section! 

My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews.

Thought it would post with the dates .
