@Adam RossRecommend 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  took over a mature company that had an investor base that I think average age had to be 65 to 70..

Many pest companies stated this was the worse infestation they had ever seen.Despite its condition, the property presented an attractive investment opportunity due to its below-market listing price.

Some "regular" companies also just like to spit out high dividends.

I’ve heard about partnering with insurance companies for displaced families, working with military personnel in need of temporary housing, and possibly connecting with other organizations that require mid-term accommodations.I tried reaching out to GEICO about insurance-related housing needs, but they didn’t seem to have a clear process.Does anyone have experience with this niche?
