Recommend 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, 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.

HI Hyeseong, as long you can prove that the borrower can legally work or stay in the US with some source of income then anyone can apply for conventional.

Last week, I learned about Section 8.52.110 which is an LA County regulation requiring an owner to compensate residents they are evicting through the Ellis Act (no-fault) anywhere between $7k and $20k depending on the number of rooms in the apartments and the age/disability of the resident being evicted.I believe Hermosa Beach follows this rule, the city lies within LA County, but can't verify with anyone from the City if the City has a rule that supercedes the LA County rule.Can anyone with knowledge of this rule and how it is applied point me to a website or other source of information that would answer this question?
