Whether that's through house hacking or just another set of units I hold, I plan to purchase again this year. if there are tips on how to build a trusted network of people on here, I would welcome that.

I'm doing this exact thing right now- I've been pleasantly surprised by how many people in my network have resources, cash and interest in something like this. 

Network with local Host groups, realtors or general handyman services. 

I built my team through networking on places like BP forums and FB groups.I have since moved to Indianapolis from the west coast to continue to grow my portfolio here and have expanded my business to include support for other OOS investors who need the same support I did when I was remote.

To start your journey, I recommend focusing on building your network by joining meetups and engaging in online forums, while narrowing down your first investment based on your budget, market, and goals.

We do have a lot of networking in the chat, in break out sessions and in Q & A.

My goal is to learn as much as I possibly can and connect with experienced investors along the way.If there are any local meetups or networking events, I’d love to hear about them!

Over time, I’ve built a network of 20-30 clients who are always eager to explore new opportunities, and right now, real estate is at the top of our list.I’m diving deep into how to best use $150K-$200k in 0% interest business funding for real estate investments.

NETWORK!!!

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Kwanza P.Recommend 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.
