Networking with private lenders and purchased a book. :) 

While I don't have experience yet, I'm currently networking to meet new people in the area and saving up for my first deal hopefully sometime next year with the help of a family member who plans to partner up.

NETWORK!!!

If you are set on your strategy of just adding 3 more rentals then you should probably leverage your network of lenders and discuss best options with them to free up some cash for more investments.

Feel free to share more about the property—I’d love to see if it’s something I or someone in my network might be interested in! 

@Paola AstridRecommend 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.

Here’s how I built my network, the challenges I faced, and why I believe relationships are a cornerstone of real estate success.Finding My Support SystemWhen I first started in real estate, I was young, fresh out of college, and had just become a mom.

Do you focus on networking events, direct outreach, or something else?

Meet-ups and networking are great places to start.
