Hey Natasha, I am the owner of DealMachine and I have 19 properties in Indy.

I bought the property in June, have had 4 renters the first month and then 3 the remaining of the year.

@Daniel ShaferRecommend 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 do Business Development for our property management company and work with all of the new owners and properties.

Ask to speak with some of their current owners and current/former tenants.

Can anyone recommend sources for contact information for property owners?

We also require that we be added to the contractor's insurance as Additionally Insured, so we're covered if they cause damage or liability issue.3) If the property is occupied:- One of our people MUST accompany their person (and we charge for this). --- We were sued many years ago, along with the owner, because tenant claimed owner's contractor sexually assaulted them!

This also leads owners to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

I've been made an offer of 50% down and for me (my Solo) to owner finance the other 50%.

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!
