@Raj KandragulaRecommend 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.

@Duy Xuan Do, your logic makes sense on the house hacking front, but I would really encourage you to explore other types of rental strategies, such as mid term renting or rent by the room.

I will continue to look at Springfield and am also exploring Longmeadow and East Longmeadow as I hear that location may be better suited for mid-term rental or rent-by-the-room (CoLiving) arrangements.

I am listening to Pace Morby's video's and interested in exploring options

2) I am trying to minimize expenses and explore the possibility of securing a construction loan.

I've also explored manually blocking off the calendar, but this requires constant attention and work. 

I recommend that you expand your network and explore social media events for starters.
