@Steven Taylor It is easy to become overwhelmed with all of the opinions and information available online and being shared through social media.

Job growth was concentrated in healthcare, social assistance, and leisure sectors, while manufacturing and federal government employment declined.Markets reacted positively to the report.

Join local Real Estate Investors Associations (REIAs) and connect with social media groups which will expose you to potential buyers and fellow wholesalers that you can learn from, which is invaluable for your journey.

You have basically 2 options for marketing; outbound marketing in which you contact the prospect first, thru social media, ads, etc.  

To maximize the number of transactions you’re involved in you will need to:Be Top of Mind when they think about moving - which requires consistent reminders.Be seen as an Expert – which requires a consistent message and Evidence of Success storiesGain their Trust – which requires communicating with integritySo, start out by CONSISTENTLY posting what you are doing on whatever social media channels you currently use.

Social Media has allowed for faster and easier networking capabilities. 

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.

It seems that free advertising on social media gives rise to "lenders" that claim to offer 90% to 100% financing with no experience needed at rates in the 7%s but they almost always fail to meet any of the metrics.  

Now I work with tons of agents and know how they are, but in this business you learn that a GC (general contractor) comes in different shapes, sizes, and social skills.

I am 30 years old, social, active, like to be outside or go out at night as well so also looking for some cool younger crowd areas.Appreciate any insight you can lend!
