Hi, I'm a Broker in MA with just one agent in the company (my admin).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend 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.

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll call the mortgage companies.  

Hire a company/person that is solely a QI like @Dave Foster they do it every day and will keep you legal and on track. 

@Kieran Collings - I'm an investor, flipper, and own and run a local property management company.  

My brother-in-law, who owns a landscaping company in Lee’s Summit, works with a lot of local builders and has been a huge help.

Assuming that they aren't simply lucky in market timing, excessive in leverage, or excessively risky, why do you think that some companies and leaders ARE able to duplicate the ROI driving expertise and/or improve personal-business productivity in a way that allows scalability?

Next to impossible without a property management company or a ton of experience in rehabs.

She's our CEO for both our Sales and Property Management companies as well as she co-owns a contracting company with her husband while managing a whole bunch of kiddos!

I would try to subscribe to Angies List to determine a suitable mortgage company.
