And how can we align our approach to meet those expectations and improve our chances of securing financing?  

I'd recommend attending investor meet ups.

ways to meet such people would be meetups, or simply walking into some smaller offices, could also ask around to other owners of the assets you are interested in and see who helps them. 

I see a failure rate of 90% plus in some of these programs, as defined by the “student” not meeting their goals and expectations.  

Quote from @Monish Anand: I own 3 SFH rentals currently but am looking at new markets and so I want to meet the best real estate agents at the markets I'm considering.

Would even be happy to meet in person since we are in the same area.

But definitely something I will read up on in case I come across an opportunity that might be useful with.yes, please DM me the full list of Chicago meet ups!

@Venka Pulla It’s frustrating when a property manager isn’t meeting expectations, but transitioning to a new property manager is typically straightforward if you follow a few steps:Review the Management Agreement: Carefully read your current Property Management Agreement (PMA) to understand the termination process, including any required notice period.

I have a commitment to invest in rental properties, meet professionals  & eventually meet potential business partners!

Usually, the confidence comes from more reps (seeing more homes and being more of an asset hunter not a spreadsheet warrior) and going to local meetups so you can meet all the other people nearby who are doing what you can't get yourself to do.Ok Elizabeth, Ready for it?
