I have no personal experience with them but they are the only company I know of that are built more for self managers and small portfolios. 

As for the Indianapolis market goes, I imagine a RE attorney or Title company will be a great starting point for me.

In Columbus, you can still find the 1% rule and there's amazing appreciation potential due to how much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing there (recently Anduril just announced another 4,000 jobs coming to Columbus Ohio on top of Intel, Google, Amazon, FB, Nationwide, Ohio State University, etc.).

I have zero affiliation with any of those companies.

The insurance policy must name [Landlord's Name or Property Management Company] as Additional Interest, ensuring the Landlord receives notice of any policy changes or cancellations.

Their return is better than most note companies.  

My top recommendation is to begin by contacting property management companies in each target area.

The bank and mortgage company we are using is giving us a hard time about us co-signing due to my separation and new job due to only having been separated a couple weeks now.

Anyone familiar with PMs who collude with house-hunting companys to purposefully make me more inclined to sell?

Your property management company can help once you own the property but up until then you need someone good on your side!!!
