The companies we've interacted with have all been very professional, and they have appreciated being treated respectfully and professionally in return. 

If you have a local group or even just a few friends over, I could give that presentation and have an interactive discussion.

Quote from @Jr Miller: The lack of human interaction increases our number of showings.

But I tend to like Bigger Pockets reviews even more because of the opportunity to interact with the author of the review.I will shout out to you in a pm as well.

Keeping notes on every interaction is a lifesaver when revisiting old leads.

In my opinion, if what you want is leads, you aren't going to make the right use out of Pro because you will be trolling for buyers and sellers instead of being an asset to the community and answering questions.If you've been a Pro member for several years and have only made three posts, you haven't been interacting with the community over that timeframe and that is where relationships are built.

Paula,If you are an investor then you may want to reach out to some of the others who posted on here and find out what they are doing and how they are interacting and what they are doing.

This can help with limiting the time your unit sits vacant.These situations can get tricky, but I always recommend staying level headed during your interactions with the tenant.The worst case scenario is the tenant ends up unhappy that you don't want them to break the lease early and/or they don't want to pay for an early lease break (hopefully defined in your lease agreement with them) and ends up damaging your property, costing more, prior to their actual move out date.

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books on this topic, or you can learn about it by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

Of course, after that brief interaction, I'm pretty sure I just become lost in a sea of other text messages.My question is do any of you see a way to utilize a strategy like this?
