I am a full time real estate professional and my spouse as a state employee W2 paid job.

I recently had a contractor reach out to me on Bigger Pockets, I haven't had anyone use him yet, but he's been in business in Minneapolis since 2000.It may be worth reaching out to him.

@Courtney HamiltonRecommend 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.

Alternatively, you can convert your IRA into a "Self-Directed " IRA and buy investment real estate inside your SD IRA.

Currently, I'm looking at $2.5M all-in for building purchase, renovations, and business start up.

You can ask a real estate agent to run comps for you and if the value is there, order an appraisal through the lender. 

These days, ads have expanded dramatically and can occupy a significant amount of “eye real estate.”

Construction and real estate investing background.Interested in the entitlements process and value add to land for new construction.

No one that has been at real estate for more than a couple years has had no losers, and when you lose your family's money, well sometimes those close knit families aren't nearly as close knit and you start getting people playing sides.

I am one of the few people who believe real estate prices will shoot up.
