ERA is trying to start sending us small referral bonuses but they have not figured out their tracking yet.

And soliciting for buyers or a referral to a buyer.  

I asked my realtor for a PM referral and I talked the PM and he said it sounds like a decent deal and I researched inspectors online and the inspector went and checked it out and he said it had good bones and he said he'd buy it as a rental property.

@Vitali Ganon Recommend 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.

Most real estate seminars tend to be pep rally sessions to motivate individuals using various psychological techniques more than providing information and insights based on research that you can't find elsewhere.What seminars have you attended where it did not feel like blowing smoke up your glass?

Those 100 degree days tend to slow us down a bit, though.Come on to town, we'll welcome you.

A multifamily deal is a resilient, recession-proof gold mine because rents tend to increase regardless of economic circumstances, there will always be more people than places to live, PERIOD.

I don't know Greg personally, but tends to be direct when I see him on the forums.

I agree that the swarms of "my market is great, contact me for more info" tends to be the biggest problem but a lot of that will depend on you, the poster - as @Russell Brazil mentioned just hit the report button on posts and we can check them out faster.
