Maybe call it something else since that's too easy to ridicule lol.I agree that finding a local mentor is much better than paying a social media coach/mentorship guru who is charging $500 (that's the cheapest I've seen) to over $20,000.

Are you willing to move to a completely new market and essentially "start-over" with your social life?

We've had people frauding social security numbers!

Grocapitus is the most innovative syndication company I have ever seen though, so I would highly recommend attending their webinars and getting involved with them as an investor.For full transparency, his Marketing Director of Marketing and Social Engagement, Eric Bleau, has been my mentor for the past several months so I am a little biased, but, having personally been to multiple boot camps and having met several syndicators like Vinney Chopra and Anthony Chara, I can confidently say that Eric and Neal are two of the smartest, and most well-put-together players in the multifamily syndication world I've met. 

I've added a revenue manager in the last month for the STR business and am meeting with a social media assistant next week. 

Please reach out for details or follow us on social media, we post the events there as well as meetup .  

Beware syndicators active on social media.

As I'm new to Section 8, just trying to understand how it actually works, versus what we see on social media :) Lesson #1 - Nothing the government does makes sense and none of the employees have any idea what they are doing.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Steve K.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.
