-when figuring rules of thumb regarding payroll cost per employee/position or things like repairs and maintenance cost, contract services, etc. per door in a specific market do yall suggest contacting a property manager to find out these numbers or actually using google or job listings etc. i thought about using chat GPT as well. any thoughts on this?

and you may have to contact several hundred leads just to get a deal.do you know which types of leads you will go after? 

Quote from @Brian Bowen: Is there a good free method or resource to find owner contact information?  

Would like to network and share our contacts and experience with contractors, lenders, experience, etc.  

If anyone has good attorney contacts in TX please advise and forward, thank you! 

@Kevin Jackson how many leads have you tried to contact?

Eye contact. 

If you are getting a loan, this could be an issue so contact your lender asap for a possible work around. 

Can someone please give some contacts for the Landlord broker companies in TX area?

If there are only 2-3, then investigate and question GC.3) Check with your state's Attorney General's office for any complaints.4) Contact several City Building Depts in the area and ask for list of permits they've pulled.
