IE if you are wanting to wholesale which I don;t reco today, its too hard, you want a list of high equity owners BUT BUT the value is in figuring out a source of stress, a reason why the owner is on the virge of wanting to sell.

Read our copy & paste advice below on better screening for a PMC.Recommend 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.

so you need to be going to meetups, getting to know investors who source off market deals, getting to know investors who want agents to list if and when they need to list for any reason, etc.
