Can anybody recommend a trustworthy, professional, and technologically savvy property manager?

Combine this with the fact that technology will continue to displace people out of careers and even more people will want in on the passive income action. 

It never happened, and most people think it was because of efficiencies created by technology and the internet.There are certain pressures that will test our housing prices, mainly incomes, but there are many pressures that will keep prices high. 

The population increase is a direct result of new companies coming into the city and a hiring boom in the technology field.

I feel like the technology we have today should allow our tenants to pay using online methods.

You must first learn the basics of money management, investing, real estate and business management.Step one..6 months to a year of self education through reading, listening to pod casts and researching on forums such as BP.With todays technology 80% of what you need to learn is out there you simply need to dig in and digest everything you can find. 

I author and teach technology training courses on how to write software for websites and mobile apps. im really looking forward to being able to focus on real estate and not being beholden to client schedules. we have an almost 2 year old son.

Upon the "crash" of 08, I got lucky with my technology experience, to capture a Project Management job in The Department of Defense. 

Also look at their online presence, ask about technology, what data they use, how they market and turnaround time. 

You get access to leads, technology, training, mentoring from the broker, as well as access to other peers in the business to bounce ideas off of, yes each is in competition with the other, but most are all salespeople who want each other to be successful.
