Stephen,
Ok, I can’t help it… here’s a shameless plug for my book, “DealMaker’s Guide to Commercial Real Estate”.
It specifically covers how to evaluate new markets, what to look for, where to find the info and how to interpret the data. There is a whole chapter on property management and how to interview, select and compensate a fee manager. Also included is a chapter on how to develop relationships with local banks.
See http://www.creonline.com/catalog/b-140.html
If you read the book and don’t agree it is what you need, just return it for a full refund, no questions asked.
