Quote from @Melissa Conner: If you are an agent that is a landlord or you work with owners of rentals- you/they Just called Melissa. 

@Chantelle LewisRecommend 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.

@Jeremy H Barton - I'm an investor, flipper, and property management owner.  

It feels like the focus has shifted from creating value to chasing quick payouts, with little regard for the end buyer.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – and they often select the first PMC they call!

All that said ... my gut says this might go away for a little bit.

It's always a little more challenging investing in out of state (I invested out of state for 15+ years) but you can still be successful doing it. 

The owner does not want to extend the debt for 30 years.

Does anyone know where I could find this or a similar overview for property owners?

Just factor in a little time and effort to get everything squared away, and you should be fine!
