@Joel RiveraRecommend 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.

You can use it to track your marketing performance, budgets on projects, KPIs for every role in your business (even if you're a one man show), call metrics, and manage your lead pipeline.
