Find a mentor

Sometimes I have a problem that I can not solve with my property management business.  When that happens I try to find someone who has experience that can or will assist.  This is one of the main reasons I belong to the professional organization, NARPM (National Association of Residential Property Managers).  If you have the opportunity join a group like this.  If you can not, ask your lender, insurance agent, vendor's or friends if they know anyone who is managing a property like yours.  See if you can get an introduction, or use their name and call that person.  They might just appreciate being consulted as an expert in the area. You might also watch for rental signs around your property to see who knows the area.  Sometimes you can call a licensed property manager and they might assist.  Especially if they know that your question will be a quick one, that does not require them spending too much time out of a busy day.
