Does anyone have any recommendations for a property manager or insurance broker?

I'm looking to connect with local investors, agents, lenders, property managers and contractors who have experience in these areas. :-) 

On paper, a restaurant manager with a 740, may appear stable, but is it more stable than say a medical tech in healthcare with a 640, with less or equal time on their jobs?

It isn't having paid off properties that offers security, there are still taxes, insurance, maintenance and management involved.

You will also discover the warranties don't cover as much as you think, and claims are often denied.Home warranties are so bad that most professional property managers will not manage a property with one in place.

And manage for the investors on the back end.
