Ask your local real estate investors association (REIA) for referrals.

**Network for Referrals**: Start by attending local meet-ups or joining Facebook groups to get referrals for good contractors.

@Berron J.Even if someone give you a referral, what meets their expectations, may not meet yours.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

The low market entry in Michigan tends to be trailer homes or homes far from a center point of something.

Ian and I are on an investor focused team in the Worcester market and always welcome referrals.

Ben,The NOI on the condo if fair but based on equity versus mortgage $600 is a little risky knowing how Condo associations tend to hedge up on their HOA fee's.

While in this phase I wanted to reach out to the community for any referrals of solid PM's?

Typically, a good GC can guide you through the entire process and has architects that tend to partner with on most projects. 

If I have 4 properties of my own really I have to convince IRS that I have to put 750 hrs to be considered as RE professional why not something less as every year I spend enough hrs to find tenants/screen them/coordinate with my handyman/cleaners/ HOA to manage all my properties..I am tending to believe that if I show some minimum criteria for hrs in my RE work IRS would be nice to me :)

However, their referral fees (20-40%) were pretty steep but still worth it, given the quality.
