We've thought about subbing out to a proper "property management" company but we really don't need help collecting rent or expenses (this is all done electronically online) or even finding new Tenants on the odd occasion when we have an Apt turnover (we use Brokers for that) ...

i actually spent about $20K more than I made in my first year on media and such.To the OP...I've talked with many who wanted to get their license. 

Like this guy Adam Neumann, so he bankrupted his WeWork investors, now he is trying to make multifamily syndication flashy with some more marketing hype and use his connection in VC world to well....trap the naive investor again.Be careful lot of these guy doesn't really have a shame and even someone said we have to thank them even here in biggerpockets LOLmany syndication are just snake oil for lack of better word, if you see their team and their acquisition team member, some of them are not yet even graduated when 2008 occured and teached all dangerous stuffs all over social media.

I’ve been saying for many months that I did not see a path to dramatically lower interest rates like government officials, the media, and many real estate pros were touting.

PPI is the preferred measurement tracked by the Federal Reserve.But I loath merely tracking the inflation horse race like much of the media enjoys doing.

Also I am on the lookout on social media to see who is interested in our area and send them direct messages and offer direct booking.   

(Thinking of those little black electronic ones where they go in and get zapped)This is my first time dealing with this, so any help/insight would be fantastic!

However they have websites, BP Profiles and social media suggesting years of experience and success.
