I think you will need to participate in the meetings yourself to determine if they are worthwhile for you.Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS.

@Barb F.happy to help - your first rental is a big stepbut... you should hire a property manager - they'll handle screening, the lease, the move in, etc. 

Best way to reduce the chance of it happening is through good screening when you place a tenant and do regular inspections.

Both charge a fee for tenant screening but only if there is a problem would the owners call me to help get it fixed, they also accept the rent payments directly from tenant. 

I prefer the latter because you'll have the opportunity to spruce up the property and get market rent from a tenant you screened and selected.If you choose to raise rent on the existing tenant, I recommend notifying them to see if they want to stay.
