@Sean SpagnolaRecommend 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.

Agreed mate.Columbus and Cleveland by far the worst markets to invest in 🤓

@Nathan Meeker absolutely agree a good CPA is worth the $$, and was expecting to spend well over 1000 for such services (I spent 1500 last year only to catch a lot of my CPA's mistakes); just sent you a DM, thx

Most investors lose a TON of money by making amateur mistakes.

Nothing tougher than trying to learn the basics and avoid mistakes that cost money and time.

Have you been successful in this in the past, or have you made mistakes and found ways to overcome them.Just my 2 cents.
