I also am planning to meet with my PM on Monday to discuss pain points and better expectations, I would love to hear what sort of expectations you set with property managers?

I'd make connections with realtors, join local meet ups and expand your horizon.

As long as they meet our criteria it should be no problem! 

The biggest mistake I see out of state investors make is relying on others too much for direction and guidance instead of doing their own due diligence and building their own team that they actually meet and interviewRelying on one person who alleges that they have a 'team' built already that you can use as well can be a costly mistake.

Personally I think there are good loans out there but people look for the "perfect" loan that fits their buy box and meets a desired return - which the return is going to be based on risk.So for many you cannot have your cake and eat it too. thoughts?

If you have three people renting together, combine their incomes into one to see if it meets the 3x requirement.However, nothing is that easy.

I’ve been to a number of meet ups over the years, but I’ve never been to a no pitch meet up. 

I would be interested in connecting with 1-2 people based in SoCal that would like to meet in person periodically to compare notes.

Go to some meetings ahead of applying, talk to the members of the board and ask questions if you have any.
