I would prefer suggestions from someone who is currently using/or has used the recommended property manager.

Does anyone have suggestions?

Thanks @Jordan Moorhead for the suggestion.

I'm also worried about a recession but if it happens I'm going to be ready to buy more properties if the prices drop.My leander has suggested to me to wait another year to see what the market looks like from now.

I would suggest to find and connect with other BP members that are in your area: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meetNetworking with nearby experienced investors here can help in finding a potential mentor.

@Marshall Fairley just like @Ryan Blake suggested, the best way to find off market deals is probably mailing yourself.

I might suggest that the owner that can't afford to pay for repairs can actually afford them.

I suggest contacting the agent or using yours to get the skinny on the deal.
