@James TobinJames, congratulations on deciding to take the first step into real estate investing!

@Chris LauerRecommend 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.

I wouldn't consider buying real estate if I didn't have $160K cash in hand.

I’ve specialized in working with real estate investors for many years, and I’d love to hear more about your goals.

Any form of real estate, real estate syndications, or private lending is fine.

Biggerpockets could implement AI to check EVERY website at once for data which will make numbers more accurate and make investing faster.5: What about tax savings real estate has tax advantages, BiggerPockets could implement a system that shows you step by step how to save money on taxes.

The real value of an agency should be in reducing your workload, not adding extra oversight.On a related note, having worked in this field and provided these services myself, I can confirm that the pricing you mentioned for cold callers is too high.

You can find an array of them that specialize in real estate here.

Hi I am based in Canada and looking to connect with others who are investing in real estate in the USA or Canada.

I have a good team helping me, I have a good system, I’m confident in my ability to talk to sellers because I’m a real estate agent and just am nervous that I should be trying to reach more people.
