My guess is it'll have to mainly be word of mouth referrals from other investors.

What you're probably referring to are what I call "pseudo" investment clubs which limit their  discussion to a relatively tiny # of deals that also happen to be ones where the club is taking a cut from the sponsor (usually via a referral fee from the sponsor or a portion of the promote).

I'm not a broker and am not paid on this - it's just a connection/referral.

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.

The on-island local contact doesn’t have to be a licensed real estate professional, unless he/she is also involved in real estate activities, like renting or offering to rent the property.And I've had at least one client do cost seg - if you'd like a couple referrals, you're welcome to contact me directly. 

Afterwards, they become a great resource for referrals to other first time buyers because you did such a good job educating and not giving up on them like many other Realtors do.Or get together with Lenders and create first time home buyer classes.

Always ask for referrals and get into a rhythm of maintenance plans. 

referrals?

Can you send me a referral link if you are their client.
