I have several different properties that I just deeded to new LLCs. 

Their customer service has really dropped over the last several years. 

If you hear a common theme for several property managers then those are likely the ones you want to interview.

@Owen Dashner gave great advice higher up in this thread, PLEASE read his last 2 paragraphs several more times!

It's more of an issue for disclosure items like talking about the seller's situation to the buyer or talking about the buyer's situation to the listing agent or the seller.Having the agreement also allows the agent to negotiate on the behalf of the buyer.Also, it protects the agent in situations where a seller or an unethical listing agent tries to cut your agent out of the picture with the promise of a better deal.There are several hours of training on laws of agency.

Having everything together in one place will help you see the overall health of your business plus these are related to each other, for example, your mortgage payment consists of interest (P&L item) and principal (liability) so you don't want to track the interest only on one software and the principal on another.

I have several years in the past where I was a licensed mortgage broker in both retail and commercial arenas (2008 We all know that story!!!)

So I have several of market deals on the table small multi family properties 6-8 units.

I couldn't see it costing me less than $90k and I had friends whose similar sized flips had been sitting on the market in Santee with no offers for several months.

@Anthony Bright  There are several things that you can do.
