That is why everyone here is emphasizing relationships and networking.

@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.

Networking with other investors and professionals is crucial for learning and finding opportunities.

I network with many investors in the scranton area as well as Vacation Rental investors in the poconos!

@Greg P.have you tried networking, going to meetups, or even starting your own mastermind or meetup for this?

Start small with manageable deals, educate yourself continuously, and build a strong network and team to support your growth.

Attend real estate meetups and networking events in your area to connect with potential lenders and other investors.

Would love to add a mentor to guide us through the first deal, we can offer all of the sweat equity and our network that will help fundraise the deal! 

There’s no single right answer to every situation, but the more you educate yourself and build your network, the more confident you'll become.Lastly, don’t hesitate to ask questions here, no matter how small they seem.

I have a team and large network of wholesalers, contractors, property managers etc.
