That said, regardless of how you learn, it's important to reach out to people who are interviewed, write the books, do the deals locally, etc. and get to know them and their biz model better than passively listening or reading about it.

I distribute my leads to those who have certain skills, Pete runs my junk property leads on the city, KS will, interview my county leads, Gopal works on my commercial leads, Chuck will interview and make offers on Harford county leads.

I am currently interviewing HOA management companies for a 96 unit condominium complex in Raleigh, NC .  

I've personally fired over 20 in the last 5 years.Feel free to PM me with a few recommendations that you can have an interview to see if they are a fit [at this point, it sounds about like anyone would be better than what you have now...]

Waiting to pick up the next one.Prices in my area skyrocket, meaning I'll need at LEAST 30k to buy another rental.So, I look around and find nothing.I find Bigger Pockets.They do an interview with a guy (I don't have it handy which episode), and he has something like 1,000 units or something like that.  

I have interviewed 6 contractors and the one I chose is too busy to finish my flip after a month and half!

As a property manager, dropping a gift from the landlord for the new residents during my move-in interview might be a plum!
