Originally a social networking platform for like-minded individuals to share property management related experience and advice through articles, forums, groups, and connections, Let\u2019s Talk PM has evolved to better serve the industry\u2019s needs.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the past few years, the social networking tools, forums, and group feature of Let&#8217;s Talk PM saw less and less activity as industry professionals turned to other sources for industry connections, like Facebook, Twitter, BiggerPockets, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram. As the decision was made to turn off the social networking features that were no longer used by members, we wanted to explore other options to ensure that the educational articles were getting maximum exposure. We decided to join forces with the Rentec Direct Blog to take Let&#8217;s Talk PM&#8217;s content into 2019 and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Contribute to the Rentec Direct Blog<\/h2>\n<p>Have any property management advice, real estate news, or rental tips you are dying share?
