@Adam SchneiderRecommend 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, 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.

Who can provide a referral or insight on managing this rental?

We use QB for accounting and Rent Manager for PM (I often feel like it uses us - although there customer service reps are great).

For a section 8 fund also ask about there experience in owning and managing section 8 housing as if it is not very hands on, it will not end well.

I would really recommend you hire a property manager.

Once that amount is adjusted you'll have a loan payment updated based off of the rate and terms of the loan. 2) In you long-term expense estimates I don't see any assumptions for property management (7-10%), repairs/maintenance (7-10%), and vacancy (5%) so I would re-run your estimates based off of new expenses.

This is potentially going to be my first deal so I apologies in advance if my info and idea isn't as succinct as it could be.My wife's family is in Louisiana and looking to sell 6 rental homes as they are moving out of town and do not want to keep them as they were self managing.

Maybe go to work for a Property Management company. 

First property has been renovated, leased, and managed in line with all timelines and expectations.

I'd suggest you also contact local property management companies as they may know people who are looking to buy places.
