Hi Drew- I just reread your reply and you mentioned labelling yourself as a property manager has had a positive impact on your interactions with your tenants.

utm_source=search&utm_medium=internal&utm_campaign=books (books recommended by BPers)Simply, bone up on the areas that you need to expand knowledge in such as, Forums, Marketplace, Learn, Network, Analyze and Resources.Feast on the Podcasts, #askbp Podcasts, blogs and webinars Lastly, this site thrives on interactions and as such we encourage two way exchanges and look forward to educational and thought provoking ideas relevant to REI.

The only interaction with the realtor was for access to the interior and I assume they were paid just to provide access to the MLS.

My day job is being the Lead Software Engineer for a small company focused on interactive development.

It does have the potential to be a great way for Realtors to interact with prospective clients and generate leads.

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books for this or you can learn by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

I definitely need to practice and get more comfortable with the human interaction stuff.

To @Drew Sygit point if you can provide them a large number of units (say 20) that they can manage in the same time 10 others take because of how you interact with your PM, then maybe its worthwhile...But typically I actually don't want to receive discounted pricing on services from any vendors.

We were of the mind that we'd hang on to places forever, but the ones we've sold and rolled into new purchases wound up being extraordinary moves for us.
