Are ppt managers usually willing to talk to potential investors?

[David Park]

I am currently trying to research out-of-state markets for deals. Beyond the internet research I perform, I want to begin speaking with local property managers, real estate agents, contractors, etc. to get some expert advice on neighborhoods and market trends.

Being the socially awkward individual I am, I am having a hard time imagining why these people would give me the time of day.

Has it been everyone's experience that when you call a property manager on top of the google page with a bunch of questions, they spend the time with you to earn your potential business?

The area where I live is HCOL so I have to look else where for deals, so I want to get off on the right foot when trying to build my team out-of-state. Any feedback would be appreciated.
