You can start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

@Dwight HenningRecommend 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.

I currently use Gold Key Property Management in Anderson IN, and have been very happy with there services.

Quote from @Salvatore Ross: When it comes to finding the perfect property to manage/co-host, what’s on your must-have list? 

If you are someone who has a bigger portfolio that you manage I would suggest appfolio or yardi.  

I am under contract for a property out in Columbus and they are one of the few property management companies I am considering going with! 

One of the most important steps you can take as either a startup landlord or seasoned one is to use a platform specific to property management as it will elevate your operation and save you tons of time.The good news is that nearly every software designed for landlords includes these features.

A manager will roughly cost $100-$150 a month to take over a unit (it could be more or less in your market) and manage the units.

@Tammy Elias The lease is tied to the property, not the management company.

Try interviewing at least three managers.1.
