I'm a realtor here in Indianapolis and have a list of property management companies I can send your way

For those that own property management companies can you give me any insight on what starting one up would look like and your honest opinions of the property management business these days.

There are a ton of property management companies.

Make sure to ask for client referrals and interview more than one company in Flint.

I own Granite and Pine Properties - a Direct to Seller Marketing company that focuses on giving sellers 3 selling options. https://graniteandpinere.com/My advertising is word of mouth, social media, SEO, mailers and cold callers.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable, quality cleaning company with great communication?

I was a relatively happy Quest Trust Company Gold Family client for over 10 years.  

My wife and I also own the only interior design company specifically for real estate investors, Ivory Home.

With technology and the right culture property management companies can be successful with a mix of local and remote team members. 

New realtors, new realty companies, new PMs aren't going to have those established relationships and *no* PMs give up the names of their people to anyone else because getting good people is difficult.
