@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.

Though my property management company eventually took care of the eviction proceedings and repaired the property to prepare for a new tenant, I feel they were negligent in their duties.

Of course, you should switch companies if you are unhappy with their services. 

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

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

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Property management is not for the faint of heart, so glad to see you're enjoying it and thriving.

Which companies did you choose?

Review their management agreement.
