Interview till you find the right fit.

If there is one common theme I have noticed from all the successful BP Pod interview guests; it's that they all found deals they knew would work and then figured out where the financing would come from later.

Interview them to find the best for your situation then let them take it from there. 

Google "best direct mail service" and you'll find plenty to vet and interview. 

I read the by-laws completely and schedule an interview with the association president and ask them very specific question.

Basically, I took over as the GC.4) In parallel to the above steps I interviewed new GC's and I eventually brought somebody else on board. 5) As a third rail, I engaged with a real estate attorney to start the mediation process.

Google reviews are a good start but interview several managers.

Holding a RE license will make you responsible for monthly costs (licensing fees, broker fees, MLS fees, E&O insurance) as well as periodic costs (i.e. license renewal/continuing education classes).If the main benefit would be MLS access, I'd interview a few agents (BP has a great search feature to help you find some), build a strong relationship with one and make them your go-to agent for deals and referrals.

Make sure to interview several realtors and make sure that they really are "investor friendly".

Regardless of how you find them, try to interview at least three managers1.
