Getting into MTR arbitrage

[Makani Donaldson]

Hey everyone, I've been thinking about getting into the arbitrage space for awhile and midterm makes sense for my market. My question is when applying for the lease, most properties in my market are run by a management company. Personally I'd like to talk with the landlord instead of a manager, in my mind, it's easier to cut out the middle man to have a conversation. Does anyone find that that's the case? If so, what's the best way to do talk with the landlord. Or is just the same to talk to the property manager and pitch the idea of a rental arbitrage?
in either case, does anyone have tips as to go about the actual pitch?
Id also prefer to converse in person so would I ask the PM and or landlord to meet in person? Or do I just do my best over traditional messaging. 

hopefully that all makes sense and I appreciate anybody's feedback!
