Work with the other PM to get deposits and leases transferred. 

@Leo CuomoRecommend 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.

@Thomas TrotterIf you want to network or ask specific questions about your local market, go to your local real estate forum and connect with investors from your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86-local-real-estate-networkingYou can meet local investors by registering to attend real estate events in your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-events-and-happenin..Good luck .

No right or wrong answer, just glad to hear you're open minded to real estate investing. 

I’m just seeking for some input from the community and this is my only rental even though I do dream of becoming a real estate investor by acquiring rentals. 

I just saw the webinar too, wondering if anyone has any real experience with "Deal Automater" to share. 

My partners and I have been running a real estate meetup for the past two years, and you are more than welcome to attend.

I've dabbled in real estate for the last 15 years and have made it work for me however, I haven't made it my full-time gig yet.

I'm looking to break into the real estate market in an attempt to achieve financial freedom, like everyone else.

It’s always a good idea to consult with a tax advisor or real estate attorney who specializes in 1031 exchanges to ensure you're following all the rules and maximizing your tax benefits.
