Any real estate investor want to catch up for a drink and or food.

I, on a daily basis see the ramifications of these kinds of decisions when they’re made.

Think fast food or everyday retail like a grocery store or convenient store clerk.  

Of course you need to constantly daily learn for self improvement and to provide value to your potential clients and investors.  

Consistency is the key, no ad will make things happen for you, simply it’s just daily work, you can do it yourself or outsource it.

if the management company is performing to your satisfaction they are worth every nickel they make. typically a crappy business but should be profitable as the daily tenant/owner whining if they manage a large portfolio is brain damage. add that to finding, keeping and managing good employees/contractors and maintenance people, maintaining multiple escrow accounts, getting audited occasionally etc... they certainly arent doing it for the sheer pleasure and adoration lol.the most important issue with property management is ARE YOUR UNITS PERFORMING as they should be?

I'd also suggest hanging out with this person, especially if you're going to be interacting with them on a daily or even weekly basis.

One of them was a Drug addict that I had to kick out...One of them Trashed my upstairs room and then left EVERYTHING in it...One of them was good at paying on time...but also good at eating my food, and using the living room, and having friends over all the time....So I was able to handle that stuff for a while...But then I got a Girlfriend...my First serious relationship, and I said - alright, time for some privacy!

I start hearing global recession discussion at least several times almost daily.
