If not try to reach out to banks in the area and mention you will start a banking relationship 

@Brandon Boyce - Local Facebook real estate investor groups, by attending local RE meetups, direct mailing campaigns, paying a VA to cold call, word of mouth by telling everyone you're a real estate investor, maintaining solid relationships with sellers (I've had an off market property sourced to me from a seller of a property I bought), developing relationships w/ wholesalers and investor focused agents who have "pocket listings". 

I would love to connect with people in the Eugene area to make relationships and learn as much as I can!

Eventually, I ended my relationship with the management company and rented the property out on my own.

Building a relationship with a "smaller" syndicator shop may be the best move. 

The second thing to consider is the need for an on-going relationship.  

It really just depends on my relationship with that contractor and what I think will create the least pain for me.

I feel like most landlords/managers focus on the "role" more than the relationship.

Prefer someone local, so I can sit down face-to-face and develop a relationship with a real estate savvy person who knows the local market.

That and relationships with brokers who represent tenants.
