Some property managers will look at other factors, not just your credit score.

You will not be managing it, so there is no difference in doing it somewhere else in the US. 

We do the book keeping and self manage our properties.  

As you were in property management, not sure if you ran your own company, but as you look at it..

The price-to-rent ratios are generally unfavorable, and a shortage of skilled tradespeople and reliable property management can hinder the success of buy-and-hold rental investments.

I also run a cleaning business in Las Vegas that works with a lot of real estate investors and property managers, which has been a great way to meet industry professionals.

Panelists were seasoned pros, very helpful and I was surprised by the level of experience amongst the attendees. 

We are a Full Service Brokerage and Property Management company.
