In this day in age of Technology, I like to stick to online advertisement. 

Covid Shut down was an eye opener for these big companies to be able to see how technology can  play a big part in there business and not actually having to have employees be physically in a commercial building setting can still drive there future business ideas.  

This is just a hunch but I think these older investors might not fully understand the impact of technology (as highlighted in Long Distance RE Investing) and how it has changed the game and made it possible to invest out of state. 

My experience here in MN has been that every year I have at least one person move out in Nov. or Dec.

I had a signed lease in Nov 2019, for June 2020 move in. 

Some of our tenants are older, don't like technology, they deposit checks into a lock box at our apartment building.

Necessity breeds innovation.

With technology now you can self manage for less than 1/2 hour per week.

The biggest challenge I face is that I have quite a number of tenants that pay in cash and aren't technologically savvy. 

Colleges will now utilize virtual technology for teaching students.
