@Chantelle LewisRecommend 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.

For others that don't do this day to day, it may not be so basic.We use FINDIGS.

@Jamie Parker This is fantastic!

This could definitely be a red flag, but we would need to know more beforehand.

This is your property and your investment, not theirs.

This is some of the best information I've read in a while.

How do you handle organizing this?

Have a way to double checking their information they give you on the application.  

Worst case, you can still get this type of loan.Hope all of that makes sense but feel free to reach out with any other questions.  

Mediation is a process in which the parties meet with an impartial person who helps to resolve the dispute informally and confidentially.
