Pay attention to 99% of the posts on Bigger Pockets, most folks here have very little money.

Working with a CPA or financial planner can help optimize tax strategies and ensure the best approach for your goals.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

The reason I’m pointing this out is to distinguish my post here from most of my other posts where I have specific expertise, knowledge and experience in the subject matter.  

I agree with everything in this post and if it was a month ago I may have agreed with everything in this post (and I gave it an up vote).

@Ike Okwerekwu 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.

Meetup.com is a good resource for those but some of the groups will also post here on Bigger Pockets Marketplace too.

One question that you may not want to post here for legal reasons, is how much are you paying your PMC?

@Mike Terry your post is confusing!

Look for books published in the last 2 years as some of the books post 2010 seem to give people unrealistic expectations.
