@Chantelle LewisRecommend 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.

We used to buy a lot of foreclosures back in the day but that source has long dried up.

Unlike banks, which offer limited loan options, brokers have access to a wide network of lenders, including niche and non-traditional financing sources.Here’s what they do:Assess your financial situation to determine your borrowing power.Compare multiple loan products to find the most favorable terms.Negotiate rates and terms with lenders on your behalf.Guide you through the application process, ensuring you meet all requirements.Example: Suppose you have a lower credit score or unconventional income sources.

They are the source.

Is Real Estate Bees a legitimate and good source for leads? 

The process seems daunting and overwhelming, and I am not confident I will put the time in to talk to sources, analyze, and find properties for investing purposes.

Quote from @Sri Reddy: I am a newbie to real estate investing and looking for guidance from the teams here to understand the sources from where we can find any small retail spaces to buy.

You can target lists through a multiple list source sites, skip trace those lists, then market to those buyers through cold calling, SMS campaigns, direct mailers, and/or door knocking; amongst other routes.

I prefer to source all my deals off-market, which allows me to find properties with less competition and negotiate directly with motivated sellers.

We source and purchase all finish materials for our projects (lights/plumbing fixtures/etc).
