@Dwight HenningRecommend 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.

We are extremely unhappy with our property management company.

If you feel like you’re managing your property manager, it’s a strong sign that the manager may not be the right fit.

Quote from @Thanh Lu: For owners with a small portfolio (1-3 STR), how did you decide between self management vs hiring a vacation rental company?

I think it would be beneficial to set up your own management company to manage your assets.

We currently have 10 single family properties in the best school districts and we self manage.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.
