If you’ve got questions about real estate or just want to catch up, don’t hesitate to reach out. 

That is just not realistic in this current market.So in my opinion it's important to expose yourself to a large number of deals, so you can develop an intuitive sense of what's reasonable and what's not (and quickly discard the ones that aren't).And it's true that there is no way to 100% protect from fraud (and not just in passive real estate investments but even in public stocks etc.).

@Stephanie SelbyRecommend 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.

However, lately I’ve been testing an AI-powered system that autopilots real estate lead gen and deal management.In just 30 days of using this AI system for follow-ups, our response rates doubled, and we closed 3 deals.

This is a good baseline though of real costs that will get a project done. 

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

Best of luck in your real estate investing!

(zero claims or issues) We are looking at going with Obei Insurance, they focus specifically on investor real estate.

One realtor in particular made me an offer to come work for her if I got my real estate license.
