@Namal Burman, your post caught my eye because I had a former client-now a good friend-who found herself in a similar situation.

@Tori Roy A couple red flags I noticed with this company that you posted. 

This is a really great post!

@Paola AstridRecommend 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 know this post is old, but just in case someone sees this and wants information, I will report back on how it goes.

Good post with a few good ideas, thanks.A note about San Antonio, is that it historically has a big turnover in homes due to the military bases in the area.

Post on local Facebook pages for contractor referrals, go to local REIAs, and ask your potential agents and PMs (even if not using a PM at first...you may at some point).There is only so much that service providers can do and many of them are far from "experts"; so, be prepared to be your own expert at being willing to figure stuff out as you move forward.

@Christian HwangI know it's only been a couple weeks since you first posted but was this thread helpful to you?
