To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

I will be attending a real estate meet up tomorrow night in Seattle but would appreciate any advice before the meet up.

thank you i hope to meet tons of people here!

I would suggest you get over to some investing meet ups in the area.

My biggest piece of advice would be to find someone who is in the position you would want to be in 10, 15, or 20 years and meet for coffee.
