Hey everybody, I've been listening to BP podcasts for a couple years now, and I'm excited to finally get in here and start accelerating my learning and meet some like-minded people. 

@Chantelle LewisRecommend 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.

@Will Greenlee there is no perfect PM software, unfortunately.We use one of the most flexible, but it has a long learning curve and we'd still like to see many improvements.

Lastly, I love YouTube for learning, too! 

If you're active in the market or have any advice, I’d be grateful to learn from your experience!

Quote from @Niranjan Sathish: Hello, I am Sathishkumar, have been learning about Real Estate through books and podcasts for the past couple of years. 

Self managing is a solid way to learn the business, and it’s smart that you’re already setting up systems and tools. 

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

I'd like to understand @Devin James, from the domestic developer mind of things; If there stands a confusion, lack of comprehension on how to address housing compilation in a given region, city, MSA etc., why not look to Europe? 

Definitely glad to be a part of this community and learn from some great folks!
