Learning from experienced property managers

I’m really curious about how to effectively build my network. What strategies have you all found useful for finding mentors in this field? I’ve seen a few local meetups listed online, but I’m not sure if they’re worth the time investment. Any advice would be appreciated.

Networking is definitely key. I found informal coffee chats with local property managers really beneficial — just grab a coffee and chat about your experiences. It’s low pressure and can lead to great mentorship opportunities. Have you thought about reaching out to folks on LinkedIn for similar casual meetups?
