People confuse liquidity with safety in regards to risk.

Brown RentRedi tries to enhance the DIY management options.It is NOT a replacement for a PMC.Recommend 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.

Over time, gain knowledge and experience so that one day 3 or 4 deals down the road, one is ready to handle the huge responsibility of taking care of other people’s cash.One should also take stock of where they are at - what strength and capabilities they have, what income, what amount of capital, who their social and professional sphere is, etc etc and then come up with a real aka tic plan as to how to proceed.This all can be done but it takes a cold hard assessment of reality and then consistent effort over time to make it happen.Now that @Amir owns some rental property, he can tell his friends, family and associates about it and as they see him do well, NOW he will have more success asking for capital to do bigger deals.There’s an expression How does one eat an elephant?

I'm not making excuses for propstream or pin... but just my personal experience is that I wouldn't expect skip tracing to really be THAT effective.What bothers me the most is all the companies that market it as "we do skip tracing, you just click here and get the number" without making it clear that it's some computer's best guess at a number based on a million social media sites combined with county records..etc.. 

It’s all about the experience and what looks good on social media.

Sharing your experience on social media would build your credibility and get your name out there.
