There have been quite a few podcasts on finding deals, but I wanted to reach out to this community specifically for a few questions not often covered in the interviews:1) How do you get spun up on the new market you move to in order to shorten the time it takes to find your first deal?

Currently I am hosting LIVE videos on Wed at 6p on Facebook and interview local Real Estate related businesses to give home owners people to "meet" that can help with their homes.

Meanwhile, I am interviewing for the next role.

Who have you interviewed?

owner has not rented it out this semester due to do some rehab, actually did most of the bathrooms and they are in good shape, carpet is awful, needs paint, kitchen cabinets and better lighting. lower level apt needs gutted due to toilet leaking from above. here are the numbers:purchase price 330krents last semester avg=333/month, did not rent over summer, "I let them just leave their stuff til the next semester", my friend was seeing RED after this statement...expensesrents (if occupied at 333)=3663/monthtaxes 2200garbage =100 (actual quote from WM)water and sewage 525electrical=passed through to tenantPM=started looking, but quotes at 8-10%insurance= 300 (est.)planning on ripping carpet out and going with vinyl hardwood throughout, new cabinets in kitchen and paint, fix lighting and general clean up. plan to get rents up to 500-550 month, lease term 1 year. interviewed PM and he said they take one month's rent for placing a tenant, is this typical?

Does this come down to an interview? 

We are currently interviewing property management companies.

So far I only went on 1 interview with a team in KW.Thank you so much for your help.

I called and interviewed almost every brokerage in Solano county with a huge list of questions.

I would recommend interviewing the prospective PM.
