I didn’t know anyone in Alabama, so I called a few agents I found online and ended up picking one from BiggerPockets.

It really is a minefield out there.I know everyone likes the convenience of the web, and they are tired of hearing it, but this really is a business based on relationships, not online anonymity.

They claim to market on dozens of online channels, and they seem to know the right amenities to feature, have great design, services, experiences etc.

Hi @Tyler Bolton I hope I can help clarify given I see a lot of muddled points of view on these matters online.

If you've got to ask a question on an online forum about managing an out of state or out of country renovation, you aren't ready to do this on your own.

Networking with local real estate groups or online forums could help you find recommendations for PM companies that have a proven track record in Birmingham 

I still get junk leads but that is to be expected on just about every online lead platform.

I can provide him with an online log in so he can review the books from his office.

The online gurus are the worst.
