If you are set on your strategy of just adding 3 more rentals then you should probably leverage your network of lenders and discuss best options with them to free up some cash for more investments.

Here’s how I built my network, the challenges I faced, and why I believe relationships are a cornerstone of real estate success.Finding My Support SystemWhen I first started in real estate, I was young, fresh out of college, and had just become a mom.

NETWORK!!!

As always, networking and finding those off-market deals is key.

Feel free to share more about the property—I’d love to see if it’s something I or someone in my network might be interested in! 

Do you focus on networking events, direct outreach, or something else?

Networking with private lenders and purchased a book. :) 

Hi Jose, yes I specialize in STR/MTR management, and I have a vast network on military renters & I work with placement agents!

@Paola AstridRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

As an example, we joined an expensive, but exclusive private networking group 12 years ago.
