If you do not like this type of interact than you may want to consider hiring a property manager.

What I see (from their website and from reading and interacting with them on BP) is the following1.

Material Participation Activities:Property Maintenance: Engage in repairs or construction work on the property to maintain or enhance its condition.Contractor Management: Oversee the hiring and coordination of contractors or handymen for property-related tasks.Tenant Interaction: Communicate with tenants regarding lease agreements, inquiries, or property issues.Property Acquisition: Invest time in property search and evaluation processes, including visits to potential investment properties.Property Management Tasks: Perform activities typically handled by property management companies, such as rent collection or property inspections.Non-Qualifying Activities:Educational Pursuits: Time spent on real estate education or training programs does not count towards material participation.Investor Hours: Hours dedicated to investment analysis, financial planning, or portfolio management are not considered material participation.

AS well as I like to interact with RE professionals on a daily basis could not imagine my wholes business purpose was dealing with tenants  LOL..

Spin-spin-SPINNING your way through any interaction, relying on distortion and out right lies or ridiculousness as your shield when any touch on the truth of you what so ever. 

This can be done through linking up with local investment groups, or go to meetings that provide such interactions.

If those are the nature of the interactions, I don't think you have an issue.

Virtual world is great but at the end of the day a lot of people still like human interaction, the ability to meet in person with their broker or other agents in the office. 

Yoav,I have a lot of success by letting everyone I interact with know that I'm a real estate investor and what types of properties I buy.
