@David O'Sullivan JrRecommend 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.

Hi,I am going to open a solo (self directed) 401K account from 1099 income I will earn.I weighed pros and cons of solo 401K vs SD IRA, and solo 401K is better option for me.I plan to roll over my previous employer's 401K into the solo 401K account.I want to invest in real estate syndication (passive investment) from the solo 401K account.Does anyone have any good recommendation on the company who manages the solo 401K account?
