@Sharad BoniRecommend 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.

You can save money on commissions, get referral fees, and have access to a lot of local data through the MLS.

(Littleton, where OP is buying, is an example of this.)So as long as you work with an agent who knows the laws in and out (ahem, blatant self-promotion), and you buy in an area that currently allows non-owner occupied, you almost certain to be allowed to do so in perpetuity.

Referrals - Have not been in the game long enough to get past clients returning or referring out.

That does help me find what I need in a PM referral partner though!

But if you had a reasonable explanation - went back to W2 job, was taking care of a sick parent, lost your source of referrals, etc. - they should not fuss.

I can send you some referrals in Columbus, Ohio.

Just sent you a message for a referral that I have previously received.

@Timothy Blackman Tax sales, whether tax deeds or tax liens, are no where near as easy as the prople promoting them imply.
