@Jill Haselman FYI:  personal letters are no longer advised/allowed by licensed agents for discrimination issues..And its not always the buyer's agent fault... there are plenty of actors in a transaction (don't forget the seller's friends, family and social media) as well as still a strong seller's market.

1) Write down all the buyer and seller concerns you're hearing2) Practice your responses to those objections/concerns with other agents3) Video marketing on social and via email.

Hi I’m 19 years old and my girlfriend is 19, we wanted to get into real estate for quite some time but we don’t have any resources outside of social media to help us.

IOW, they will make an offer that is WAY below market price and you'll end up leaving a lot of money on the table.You might consider running ads on social media or using an MLS-only service that provides you listing on MLS, but no other services. 

First, your consulting business generates two kinds of taxes: income tax and self-employment tax, aka Social Security / Medicare tax.

If I do, does this require taking social security as retirement?

Maybe asking people what they are looking for could help and then attending meetups and interacting in social media groups.

I am seeking recommendations for inbound marketing ( on social media ) service providers.

Today there is a lot of writing about lead generation, CRM, social media, email and video marketing.

Here's some ideas, word-of-mouth (powerful, costs nothing), social media (mostly free, spend a few dollars on a logo/branding), door-knocking (free, careful where you do this), cold-calling (little-no cost, we scrub against the DNC, respect the law), hand-written notes (cost of paper and ink, place them on doors), direct mail marketing can be very expensive, but we very strategically send letters to certain property owners, which costs us postage and printing supplies.
