Quote from @Roger Garner: I would talk to people at local real estate meetups, call realtors that do a lot of business, and local property management companies are a good place to get these people from too.Red flags: 1.

I know alot of people are charging 30-40 bucks a month around here and that covers the supplies to do the furnace and fridge filter but its still on the tenant to actually do the labor part.

As we get back to a more traditional market CoC may not matter for people. 

So - As a PM I do free property analyses for people who are current owners or are people under contract or even just see one that catches their eye. 

Some people are forecasting a crash or collapse in office, maybe multifamily. 

We have very few issues but there are times people drive to fast on the road etc and I hear about it.

A lot of people think that they will gain "experience" when they self manage.

After literally years of looking (since 2022) I bought my first property a few months ago, so I feel extremely qualified to give advice (many people earned lots of equity during the pandemic appreciation-boom if they bought before 2022, but out-of-state investors getting started AFTER the 2022 interest rate hikes are few and far between). 

Losing out on a deal that's under contract because people on your team couldn't close on time is not a great feeling.

Vet the person/people before anything else.
