@Natalie JohnstoneAll real estate you're making some assumptions. 

@Joel RiveraRecommend 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.

Having clear guidelines in your lease about pool maintenance responsibilities is also key.On another note, if you’re thinking about refinancing to switch up your financing strategy for the rental, I’d be happy to connect.

Look forward to connecting. 

Hi everyone, I'm new to real estate investing and have been doing some research.

I have a degree in biotechnology and public health (currently in Higher Ed.), and I’m transitioning into real estate to explore new opportunities and challenges.I’m particularly looking to connect with experienced professionals and find a brokerage that offers strong training and mentorship for new agents.

I would love connect with other investors and network.

I am also looking into some side hustle but I want to keep that within real estate as well.

I sent you a request to connect.
