Are these the 4plexes off of Turpin? Shoot me a DM if you want to chat a bit. I invest in Anchorage, have lots of friends who invest in Anchorage, and run a property management company here. I feel like I can give you some good insight.

Welcome Glenn!

I am an Anchorage investor and property manager who frequently works with the Vested group that Landon mentioned. It's a good community up here with a lot of help available if you look. 

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to swing by our office sometime to talk.

We are relatively new, and not really hurting to pick up more properties. But, I am always open to talking with people and helping out where I can. We are kind of selective on who we pick up to manage and we dont really advertise so probably why you didn't see us! We are pretty much all referall based. 

As far as meetups go, Vested AK does on at 49th state brewing the 3rd Thursday of every month usually. 

RPM, Real Property Management, used to host landlords almanac, but I don't think they have done that one in awhile. 

REX, Real Estate Exchange meet up occasionally but I am not sure of their schedule. All can be good resources. Vested and REX are definitely the most active ones.

I would be hesitant to say its not required in Alaska, Mike. Last time I looked the laws read In order to practice any kind of property management (applies to STR technically but is kinda gray area) in Alaska you need to be a licensed agent under a Broker unless you manage 4 or fewer units or if they are your personal units. Even then you need a business license if you are collecting any kind of payment for it even if it is your place.

I am too tired to look it up to see if the laws changed right now so please correct me if I am wrong. I will verify tomorrow. The real estate laws are cumbersome to read. But, here is a link for the business license aspect.

Hey Cam,

Just been focusing on building our property management company, OverWatch Real Estate Management. Although, my wife complained the other day about us not buying any properties recently, so I guess I will have to start doing that more!
