Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Steve K.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.

For finding off-market properties, PropertyRadar has been a lifesaver for me.On social media, I’ve had success connecting with property owners and fellow investors through Facebook groups and LinkedIn.

Are you active on your business profiles on social media?

Friends of friends look good, anxious to take possession asap, even tell me openly they will be on the street by dd/mm/yy.We have to treat them just like every other applicant, even though we didn't sign up to be a Social Service for the County. 

I also got on a call with FlipSystem with a rep, who turned out to be Antoine's girlfriend (that wasn't disclosed during the call but it's clear from the social media posts she's his gf).

I search them on LinkedIn, Facebook, and all social media.

The best advice for getting business on LinkedIn is the same advice for getting business here, as well as on most websites or social networks.

How social media, computers Zillow, Redfin, Bigger Pockets has turned real estate into such a POPULAR way to make money!

I honestly don’t know what it would accomplish to have a random contractor walk through a property I wasn’t interested in buying to give me an estimate for a rehab on a project I never intend on doing.

You have to build a foundation of trust through your past clients, your social media presence, and your honesty and ability to educate.The problem with the agents who are here with you guys on BP is that there is nothing to say they are really investor-friendly agents.
