If the account executive or loan officer is constantly saying, "Let me circle back with you" or can't answer underwriting questions, then that is a problem.

I'm not sure if you're working with a financial advisor but if you're retired, receiving 1099R income, maybe social security, plus income from other sources you definitely want to speak with an advisor.

Given that there are two ways to grow your business, organically, posting here and on social media, I for instance have a blog, now both in my experience and talking with people who have or had tried to build that way, it’s wayyyyy harder now than before, interest in real estate is way down, I know a few people with pretty large YouTube following’s views are way down.

90% of the GCs you meet through social media or those job sites like Angie list they all stink. 

Areas I like that I would consider C+ to B which should give decent cash flow are Orange Park, South Westside area near 295, Murray Hill area, San Jose, eastern area of Mandarin, East Arlington (east of 295), various pockets of the southside around University Blvd, and some others I circled in the red areas.

Social media.

Our partner, Robbie Vekselman, discovered the Springdale Forrest Circle deal and brought it to our attention.

We corresponded for about ten months, going in circles.

@Krishna SurendraRecommend 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.

They have removed me from the private fb group, blocked me from all social media, and will not allow me into the daily live office hours because I started telling people about this.
