However, with that being said I would consider my strengths to be deal analysis, financial literacy and networking/social skills.I am very excited to move on from being a passive member of this community and to start meeting members of the greatest real estate investing community out there.

I use direct mail, promote my website, social media but they all seem to take time to cultivate. 

@Adam UxleyFirst - you want to determine if paying wages is necessary.The great thing about real estate rental income is that it normally is exempt from having to pay FICA taxes.Being exempt from having to pay FICA taxes is good because that is 15.3% that you are saving in self-employment taxes(the savings can be less if you are above or near the social security base).'

I would recommend these first if you are looking for investors outside of your social bubble.

I ask for a detailed response to questions like tell me about yourself, and any social media links they care to share. 

Canadians are allowed to own notes secured by US real estate, @Joshua Espejo.

Sharing social media posts (Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad quotes or Bearded Brandon's getting started ideas) helped the causet.

Being a hairstylist I am sure you are probably a social person, so all these people you would meet you can still meet by networking. 

I was also guided to following other wholesalers and idea hashtags on social media to continue expanding my network with like-minded individuals.

We used Buildium for quite a few years and have just switched to Mi Property Portal because we wanted a Canadian software.
