In this segment, the speaker explains practical methods for locating a reliable property manager. They caution against relying solely on AI tools like ChatGPT or generic Google searches because reviews can be manipulated. Instead, they advocate tapping into trusted local networks, especially a dedicated Facebook group they created called “Gary Indiana Real Estate Investing,” which has grown to around 2,000 members. By posting or searching within the group for recommendations, investors can see real‑world experiences, connect directly with respondents, and build relationships. The overall message is that effective networking—spending time to engage with local investors—makes finding a good property manager straightforward.

So property managers, well, how do we find a good property manager? Again, you can go to ChatGPT or Google. People can manipulate what their reviews are, or you can go back up the chain to who your trusted local network is. You can go to the Facebook page for the local investor Facebook page. There's a Gary Indiana Real Estate Investing Facebook page. I started it, but it has like 1,200 members. I was surprised no one has started it yet. I do nothing to promote this thing. I created the Gary Indiana Real Estate Investing Facebook page. And every day, 10 to 15 new requests to join this thing. The thing has, it probably has like 2,000 members by now, but it's now this conglomerate of people in the area who either want to invest or do invest. And when you post a question, who were you guys using for property managers and why? Or you just scroll up through the previous posts, you can find that question or other questions you might have already posted, and then you can see all the people who are responding and then you can try to friend them or you can reach out to— it's not that hard to network if you just are willing to put in the time.
