@Jeff HendersonRecommend 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 have read in forums that upfront fees are generally big no-no's.

I would be happy to connect despite being an out of state investor like you haha

I reside in Oregon and am looking to purchase a multi family property on the outskirts of Indianapolis.

Put it on Facebook Marketplace, here on BP Classifieds, whatever other social media platforms you're on, etc.Worse-case, put it on the MLS (a problem if you are NOT an agent, but then find one to work with!).

So, what I am going to write below is based mostly in just reading information online.The Alabama's relatively new tax lien systems is very similar to the Arizona tax lien system.

Need to go above and beyond with the interior design.

I have been reading the online resources about getting started, searching the market, and even doing tours, but I am hesitant to jump in and buy a house as I have quite a large amount of student debt.
