Quite honestly, I have RSVPd to a few in person meet outs and have gotten too intimidated to making the 40+ min drive after work to meet strangers on the internet lol.

It wasn't too long ago that "I read it on the internet" meant it was probably BS.

From there, take that data and build out a marketing strategy, whether it be social media, advertising online, billboards, tv, radio, direct mail, email, etc....

A good friend of mine started a property maintenance company in Brooklyn, NY (super competitive market) and grew his database by showing up to development sites, following investors and developers on social media, introducing himself to local property owners, posting his day to day on Instagram, and following up with his database regularly.I also agree with everything @David Peschio and @Drew Sygit suggested here!

It feels like anyone who has watched HGTV or has a social media account is now an “investor.”

Century link is a popular internet provider here in SWFL but their higher speeds are not offered in all areas.

So, owners mistakenly think price is the only differentiator – and look for a PMC like they’d shop for groceries☹We encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others by reading posts here on BiggerPockets from owners that picked a PMC solely by price and regretted it.We recommend 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.Even if someone gives you a referral, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that just because a PMC met their expectations, they’ll meet your expectations.

Feedback from users can vary based on individual experiences, property types, and specific needs.To get a better understanding of other users' experiences with TurboTenant, I recommend checking online reviews, forums, and social media groups dedicated to real estate and property management as you have done here.

Blank profiles on a colleague request is like someone texting you "Hey" and nothing elseBP has made it easy for new members to update their profiles.If someone is new to BiggerPockets BUT has a presence on LinkedIn, Youtube, other social media profiles, website, etc, they can add their links and we can check those platforms to see what they're about.Agreed on filling out the bare minimum - what do you do, what are you looking to do, where are you located, etc.Hopefully new folks find this and implement!

Lastly, I believe you can learn just as much by simply educating yourself in all areas of the game with the vast amount of free information on the internet.
