We were very clear that we were looking for strategies and why and it all sounded good in the initial interview.

While interviewing CPAs to file our 2012 taxes we are trying to determine if we should file a partnership return or listed all of our properties on our schedule E.

I learned how to maintain a home, work with real estate professionals, contractors, interview prospects, etc.

So have to make sure you interview beyond just asking the simple "can you do this for me". 

I got into this by accident when i took a job via upwork as a VA  for Vontive and stated at interview  i could lower there costs and stress by automating there lead gen.I automated the lead gen and they didnt need 5 0f the 6 VAs they hired and we cut there costs by nearly 60%.Thats when i realised that you could automate even the cross platform data scraping.Then i got some extra clients from Upwork and now Im on here to help, offer the same and expand to others.going to the recorder office/courtYou only need to go to the physical building if thre is information on the documents that you need but cant view online.

approach it the same way you would interviewing a business partner because that is what you will be. 

While you're interviewing PMs, I'd also be interviewing Realtors to help you with this, focusing on ones that have relationships with PM in the area, have helped investors before, etc.

Look them up online, call and interview several of them.
