Aside from Google searches and Facebook groups, you have the website of developers, the website of real estate agents and master brokers, Mexican sites like Vivanuncios and another one I can't remember the name of, Point2Homes (beware that many if not most of the listings in that one are old, fake or even possibly scams - buyer beware in this one: if it looks too god to be true, it probably is).Bear in mind two other points:1.

As a PM, I would be worried if a new owner did not ask me at least some of the following:- Company Specifics: first question should be are they licensed (how many properties do you manage, what type/class of properties do you manage, how many property managers on the team, how many years have they been in operation)- Pricing (what is the cost to manage the property (ies), is there a leasing fee (commission structure), is there an onboarding fee, is there an early termination cost, are there ad-hoc costs for maintenance, tenant screening, or miscellaneous costs - such as to appear in court if you have an eviction)- Service offerings (do you have a maintenance team, do you come equipped with a list of contractors/vendors, do you offer the software and portal access for tenants/owners, etc.)- Financial Services (you (owner) should think about what you want the PM to handle, if it is everything from paying bills to insurance procurement to P&L statements then ask that, if you don't want the PM so heavily involved in financials and just more on the surface level of the operations of the property then that is okay too!

Sounds like you're smarter than the average bear, err, arbitrager. :)

I am going to try and explain my question well, but bear with me.My parents and I split a 12 acre plot of land.  

I’d like to avoid any interest bearing loans.

There are more bears than PMs 🙂With that being said she would likely be adopting whatever processes and systems I put in place. 

Utilities are separate and paid to the tenant.Upgrades have no bearing on section 8 rent amount.

You might utilize these extra cash for a down payment on a different house.Another good alternative is seller financing, which may be arranged directly with the seller and may entail a down payment and interest-bearing payments of the remaining amount over time.

In addition, being local would help me get my bearing the the real estate world.
