what information or references would you need?

I get the rent is substandard but it seems if they just hold on for another 7 months they have a vacant property they can sell to all the regular primary home buyers in the market and get a much better selling price.

Are you referring to syndications or something else more specific than just acquisitions? 

Conduct regular inspections?

Thank you  I personally refer to this article:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/how-to-screen-tenants

In return my tenants treat me and my properties very well, stay longer and refer friends.  

Insurance agent in Atoka, OK and insuring properties in the area regularly. 

Going to make this into its own post for others to reference in future!

@Vishal ChandanRecommend 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.

Beyond the formal checklists: no evictions, 3-4x income to rent, prior landlord references, employment checks; I would also look at things like responsiveness to communication when we are setting showing, were they on time to showing, did they look me in the eye and shake my hand, did they show up to showing high?
