Are they employed now and do they have good job references and good credit - basically all the usual stuff.

Once you find 3 or 4, attempt to get references by talking to their clients (the plaintiffs).

Hi Samuel, thanks for the reference.

@Krishna SurendraRecommend 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.

@Todd Rasmussen - Thank you for that info and reference.

There are good deals in every market so not sure if you are referring exactly as best, but if its in terms of price point then the midwest offers some good options @Chris Schoonhoven

I want you to be aware that a government source that your tenant may refer to may be confusing.

Check reviews, references, their previous work, and ask for a detailed scope of work.

Is there a form or reference I can make to help him know how to do it..

While I would love to take credit for the great guest blog post that he mentioned, I think he is referring to the one our Air Force brother @Michael Barnhart, who is also here in England, wrote.
