Communities like these are terrific, but I feel getting out and actually meeting and getting to talk to other passionate people in real estate would help immensely.

@Joab CardonaI'd recommend getting leases from all the tenants even if they are your friends. 

Im looking for recommendation for Mid Term Property managers within the Phoenix area. 

@Nathan Pethers recommend you use the BiggerPockets Agent & PMC lookup features since +95% of agents CLAIM they can work with an investor, but actually only know how to do owner-occupied transactions.Your PMC and agent should work together, on your behalf so make sure they play nice:)

However, I do not recommend WL for people just starting out.
