Agreeing on advice that recommends a property mgmt. company. How to find a good one? Ask friends, local Realtors and real estate brokers. Do a walk through of properties the person or company currently manages to see if they keep up to your standards. When interviewing them see what advice they give about possible defaults in your current properties' mechanical and roofing systems. I always did this for prospective clients in writing. This protected me from any future responsibility and put the owner on notice of where their money needed to be spent to maintain their investment and tenants' homes.
