@Jason ShackletonThat’s the kind of game I’m curious about.

Remember, this is a numbers game, you need to contact many people many timesYou may get a deal and you may not. 

San Antonio - Looking to network and get referrals specifically for top-notch, skin-in-the-game property management firms, where the owners and principals themselves own rental properties.

So you know thats the game..

Once you own more than 4 doors in a community or 2 in states you don't live in, it is worth it to have a professional, as that is when new legislation in areas will have a higher risk for you as a landlord.If you are a personality that does your own business, and private taxes, repairs your own car, manages your own rental flips and finances properties on your own, then you more than likely don't need a management company.

That doesn't mean to neglect marketing to buyers but listings will keep you in this game for the long haul.

Say they are famous You-tubers who play a shooting game- having the content look like the content of those creators could make it more likely that they engage with it.

However, I do have a great job in San Diego and am not necessarily counting on the cash flow for income (playing the long game with equity accumulation), although it certainly would be nice.

Using seller financing, partnering with a private lender, and other creative ways to finance your deal will help you close on the property without having to put any skin in the game.

@Wei Jie Chin yeah, lots of lenders are not familiar with many things we do as real estate investors...it's part of the game with what we do.
