I am looking to hire a new property manager in Phoenix.

I prefer to not hire an attorney unless I must because I am afraid it will cost a lot of money.

Others rely on networking... hooking up with probate or divorce attorneys who sometimes have leads on properties that aren’t widely marketed.If you decide to hire a property manager in the Jasper area, maybe chat with a few owners who’ve used them.

Its no different than hiring Remax to list and sell a prop. they just dont go on MLS and are sold through these companies networks.

We have hired   a property management company for all three rentals.

Just go on fiverr and hire an interior designer in Romania for $10https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/530-short-term-and-vaca...

I hired him towards the end to finish the kitchen.

And not just $200 per month per door (which has been the long-standing average, at least here in Milwaukee) Yes, you can also create equity with a business, if you are growing it to a size where it becomes a sellable asset, you replace yourself, hire a manager and a team of workers.

This agreement is just like a listing agreement when you go list a home, you are hiring the right person for the job, so this is the same type of contract, but this person is hired to find you the right home. 

As I'm new to this domain, I would to hire a consultant to perform some zoning and other due diligence activities.
