Building relationships with property managers
I am currently working on connecting with property management companies, but I don't want to barge in and right away start demanding or requesting their help with finding motivated sellers. I wanted to reach out to the BP community to see if there is any advice that the community can give when building relationships with property managers.

Free lunch.
Seriously though, I can't imagine anyone turning down a free lunch or a good value proposition.
Find out who is the "person to know" operating in the property manger's business framework, and tell them you're a local agent who works with investors and are trying to source a good local property manager.
Chat them up about the rental market, the real estate, themselves, etc. Then toss the motivated sellers topic into the conversational salad like a couple of tasty croutons and see if they bite.
Simply google for property managers in Charlotte, and start cold calling/emailing property managers and take one out to lunch every week.
In a couple months time, you'll have spent less than $500 and met with 10+ property managers face to face who know you're an agent looking for motivated sellers. Best of luck :-)
