I am a tech entrepreneur with experience in proptech and mainly in the tech-enabled STR space.

@Leo CuomoRecommend 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 me its social media I am not on any other form of sm  like X or insta or reddit or any of the other ones..

I think there a scamThey only take wire or ACHtheres no social media profile.i asked for them to send reviews, referral partners & social media.they we're defensive in there response.All the contact emails under the name is FB & LinkedIn icon but yet there not found

Let me close this chapter with another round of lessons.I’ve already mentioned one social media blunder that hit me right in the face: not being consistent.

Using my social media followers to sell the property.

Just websites and social?

We do have an annuity, social, 401k distributions, pensions,   Consider those when you decide how much to invest in Fixed income.  

I am surprised that my lender is asking me to access Social Security Records and a tax transcript.

Social media is filled with 'passive income real estate' but it takes a lot of work to acquire, qualify for loans, and manage property.
