@Lauren DiMeoRecommend 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.

I can send you referrals that can help you get started here. 

I personally work in the Columbus, Oh market because my research lead to this market.Build a Local Team:Find reliable local professionals such as real estate agents, property managers, contractors, and attorneys who are familiar with the market.Network with local investors and attend real estate meetups to get referrals and build connections.Set Investment Criteria:Define your investment goals, such as cash flow, appreciation, or a balance of both.Determine your budget, financing options, and the type of properties you want to invest in (single-family homes, multi-family units, commercial properties, etc.).Financial Preparation:Secure financing or funding for your investment.

As we were building and growing in the first year or 2, Biggerpockets was by far the largest referral source.

@Russell Brazil  Russ a client of mine has bought two condos in Portugal and is buying another one and my VET. owns a condo there also.. do you want a referral to the agents they are working with for Portugal. ??

Let me know if you need a referral of a great closing attorney in Metro Atlanta!

Do you have any recommendations or referrals for a CPA? 

You'll have Craigslist, Biggerpockets, referrals, you can call title companies, and even other wholesalers if you have no luck finding a buyer. 50% of a deal by co-wholesaling or joint venturing is better than 0% of no deal.
