BP is a great place to learn the business.

How fast can you learn a new industry?

You don't need to pay anyone to learn.

@Stephanie SelbyRecommend 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.

I am looking to invest in Scottsdale, Tempe, Phoenix, or Mesa and want to learn more about analyzing multifamily deals, understanding PHX market trends, and house hacking in general. 

Now, I’m focused on creating Notion templates to help agents streamline their workflows – something I perfected while running my own business.I’m excited to share insights from my real estate journey, learn from you all, and connect with agents who want to boost efficiency.

You find the person who makes decisions bout the property and ask "what are your plans for the house?" 

I am also listening to the Bigger Pockets podcasts daily during every free period I have throughout my day while trying to learn as much as possible.
