Trustworthy property managers can make or break a portfolio, and I’ve found that vetting them carefully—checking their reviews, local reputation, and how they handle tenant retention—is crucial.

This is a practice by some less than reputable companies.

Yeah they have a good reputation so far and Vincent is solid.

Then of course google searches bring all these things to the front page and next thing you know reputations get hammered..

A laundromat with 3 or more machines down is a bad reputation to have. 

As I explore the neighborhoods in NW Philly, any suggestions on reputable agents with experience in those areas? 

Bandon in particular has a very strong trajectory due to the ever expanding reputation of Bandon Dunes Golf Course as a worldwide attraction. - Florence, Lakeside, Yachats - This is fairly accessible region through Eugene and also offers spectacular landscapes and amenities.

- Good source to find reputable and experienced small multifamily builders once we firm up a specific market?

It would just need to be a situation where they have great contact with the person doing that managing of the project (I.e. have known the person for years, great reputation, person has experience in flipping etc.).

Any tips anyone can share on how to find a reputable and trust-worthy contractor and/or a lawyer who can write up less riskier work contracts?
