And the challenge with learning from anyone at his scale is: he will say things like "build your social media presence".  

@Marc ShinRecommend 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.

@Stacey Wells This post troubles me & sounds like the rhetoric the social media real estate gurus teach.

Consider the tax implications, such as capital gains.

Being in the real estate business, I enjoy watching real estate news on social media, it gives me peace of mind.

Do you have a social media page for the listing?

Looking back, I must acknowledge that personal branding and social media played a huge role in my success.

Your committee can put a candidate up for the HOA Board of Directors and you can impact change this way.The recent court case against the Hideout implies that fees must be the same for all properties, the implication that a homeowner letting guests stay in their home would also be subject to guest fees. 

Social media, transparency with renters, going the extra mile, offering more than just a home.

By investing in social media management, I was able to increase my reach and influence, attracting more possible investors and prospects.To summarize, using social media has been an effective instrument in my real estate investment path.
