a management company won't help you acquire a property (unless they have a license- which some do)

there are some pros and cons to that... 

A reputable and skillful realtor will walk you through the ins- and outs of the assessment process, acquisition process, expectations and even finding a good management company. 

For instance if you were here in CA: I would be able to do all that, plus introduce you to lenders, contractors, attorneys (for leases and do's and don'ts) etc... 

A good realtor - is good because of the many good relationships they cultivate over the years that ultimately you will benefit from! 

Specifically what city and zip-code would you like to find something in?

Do you still need help finding an ethical, honest and knowledgeable realtor? (I'm in CA but can definitely help you out).

I am new to this site but i am so glad i read these posts as it seems that a lot of people are getting a lot of value from the site. I think a lot of people are missing the point and think that just by signing up to the site you should be earning 10k, 100k... etc.. Don't forget that you still have to do the work. To quote Brandon Turner: "It seems that the more I work the Luckier I get!" 

You have to put yourself out there, reach out, make solid connections, create value for people and be creative in how they can create value for you, meet for coffee and yes- sometimes pay for the coffee (minus $5), but look at the $5 as an investment that will definitely pay dividends if you keep that connection and learn to utilize it. This site, the blogs you read and the people and connections you make are all forms of opportunities that we all have to know, understand and learn to use. Make 2016 your best year to date! Hoping to meet professional and ethical people on here.
