This is an important point and I have been in similar situations when we have moved into new counties (I am a PM so manage in about 8 different counties). 

This ensures that you protect existing tenants from direct competition and support their growth; this will also foster their trust in the ethics in which the property is managed. 

Just imagine you'd scale this..

This is exciting to meet local like-minded individuals.Looking forward to connecting.

But this is a crockpot situation, not a microwave. 

@Jonathan Greene“when everyone knows it takes six to eight months of cross-platform marketing to make stuff happen.”I didn’t think about this until I read your post.  

So if you can collect rents into your business either by deeding the properties to your LLC (be careful of the due on sale clause on your mortgages) or by signing a master lease between you and your LLC and having the LLC sublet then that may help.

This can be time consuming and frustrating to keep track of.

This is where modular hurts you.

It's just a question if they are willing to share them.Sure I could build these out, but I am much better at buying houses than I am setting up CRMs and am hoping someone out there would be up to helping another investor out.
