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. 

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. 

Our office houses realtors, wholesalers, mortgage companies, contractors... 

I have learned a lot over the last ~6 months about furnishing a property, managing/pricing a rental, understanding the ins and outs of Airbnb/Furnished Finder, and analyzing real estate investments generally.My business idea is to use that knowledge and start a company that does the following:-Furnishes properties for investors who want to turn their LTR into a MTR/STR, new homebuyers who want to house hack, or just any investor needing a rental furnished.

Late payments, property damage, and evictions are avoidable when you have a PM who knows how to find reliable renters.I encourage you to seek out a property management company that emphasizes tenant screening and uses modern tools for verification.

That said, it's nearly impossible to find a decent option under $300k in those locations.If you have an apetite for rolling the dice and saying "I'm so glad I bought this ten years ago!"

They just started sending me promotional emails again since a month or so back and their prices look decent.

Occasionally there is some decent Savings in those relationships as well.
