You have to shake some hands and buy some lunches so you get first look.

If you can get the adjustment you need to cover all or most of the structural damage, the numbers start shaking out better. 

We would just get comfortable and loving our job and then a merger would happen or some knucklehead at the top with no real lending background would come up with some "great idea" and shake things up.

Your Network = Your Net-worth"Been watching Evernest's video's and they share a ton on "everything and anything" property management related so that's been a blessing.Biggest take away when it comes to scaling a PM is to spread the word about what you're looking at doing and to build relationships.Local real estate events, NARPM, IMN, etc...You want everyone to think of you if they are looking at selling or if they know of anyone looking at selling.I use to be "loud and proud" and a huge extrovert but I guess "old age" has got me hahaI prefer drinking coffee and smoking a cigar behind closed doors.But, I guess I'll have to start "shaking hands" and "kissing babies" like a president when it comes to networking again lolMaybe even do a few video's while not wearing any pants heheBig hat's down to Matthew Whitaker for scaling the business so much.I remember spending some time together in Birmingham when he had a decent sized operation of around 1,200 units or so.Now they are 16,000+ 👏HUGE...We initially met as I was interested in selling our property management company in Toledo and now we are looking at acquiring others heheTime flies, things change and life is funny.Thanks everyone for your contribution and wishing you much success

We're going to see a huge shake out of agents over the next few years IMO.   

I am also a natural introvert, but have learned that putting myself out there and getting uncomfortable is a skill.My biggest suggestion would be to go to as many local in-person meetups as possible and find the people who are "moving and shaking" to become friends with them. 

Draft it up with legal help the submit, and see what shakes.

So I'm looking forward to seeing how this shakes out.

Roll up your sleeves and start shaking hands around the community.  

The feedback is greatly appreciated.I should have been more concise -, the goal is to shake things up and elevate the tools available to real estate investors like yourself.
