 Hi Michele, what are some sites or platforms where I can get a list of these owners? I do agree, there probably are some that are on the fence and I would like to reach out to those.

Hi, my name is Josh and I'm a property manager in Los Angeles. I have a few clients and I wanted to know what are some methods of getting more clients. I go to networking events, I'm on websites such as thumbtack, working on SEO and reviews to appear higher on Google , have posted flyers in parking lots, and am currently building up the social media pages. 

Yes, word of mouth will expand business, and I want to know if there are other ways that I may not know of that can expand my business. I would love to hear the input of the BP community. Thanks.

 Will definitely take a look thank you

Hi, my name is Josh and I’m a property manager. I’m growing quite quickly and I have run into certain (good) problems. I started to receive money through Zelle, but hit a limit. Many tenants mail a check each month or pay through RentRedi.

However, the problem is the distribution. Upon receiving the monthly rent, I can’t just Zelle the property owners $10k plus because of the limit. Yes, I can write a bunch of checks but I want to know if there are any better ways to send payments online. 

Hi, my name is Josh and I'm a property manager in Los Angeles. I'm expanding quite quickly and have a bunch of different keysets for the properties I manage now. A question to my fellow property managers, how do you manage all the different key sets for all the properties? 

 yes, I'm also curious to hear about the renter's insurance and how it plays a factor in this scenario

Hi @Leslie Beia, congrats on the cash you currently have! Having $500k is a big accomplishment. You don't always have to put it back into real estate. There may not be property flips you see, but some flips or investment ideas that other people have. You've probably heard and have been suggested to invest in stocks, bonds, or have thought about other real estate alternatives. One I may add is becoming a hard money lender.

Hi Joseph, if you have 4 single-family's, I recommend you ask to see each one of their lease agreements and screening processes. As a PM myself (in California) I take pride in my leasing contract and screening process because that removes so much headache in the future. If it's not written in the contract, professional tenants will always see what they can get away with. And proper screening prevents those people from even renting your place.

PM Company Owner here. What we do for profit sharing with our employees is we give them a percentage of the leases they complete as well as lease renewals. You can determine the percentages but we give them 50% of what the company receives from the owner upon a new rental. We also give the agent $100 for every current tenant that resigns for another 12 month lease.

Definitely look at the reviews and ask about their whole process. Ask what happens during certain scenarios, quiz them to make sure they would handle it quick. Some Q's to ask:

1. What is your process on late rent?

2. Have you ever delt with any evictions? If so, how long does it take to evict the tenant?

3. What are some stories you have with dealing with difficult tenants? How did you solve it?

All good PM's can answer these questions like the back of their hand. You'll be able to spot out a real one from a fake.
