@Michael MattinglyRecommend 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.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases.

We manage 60+ units (Primarily STR and MTR) we had one pivot from an STR to MTR.

I’m active in Huntsville and manage about 2,000 turnkey properties in Alabama for out of state investors.

However, if you plan to rehab at all, you will then need a licensed contractor to provide bids on each project you plan to rehab.You will then be asked to provide a proof of any funds to close, purchase agreements, and if closing as an LLC - most times documentation on that LLC.Overall, the larger number of units (5+) makes the lending process based more off the property than the borrower, contrary to traditional single family housing.I would recommend you work with a Loan Originator/Broker who will be the medium for you to the lender/s.

We manage several there that get a great rent rate.
