I'm starting to post info about my real estate investing

[Ryan Moore]

In my RE investing, along with a 4-unit that I've owned for 2 years, I'm currently under contract for a 5-unit closing next month.  After that, I am going to divert my attention to seeking private capital or partnerships in order to scale up in MF.  I have a wide professional network of high income earners who do not do anything with their money and I have already started the vetting process of talking to some of them... mostly randomly at kids' birthday parties. 

I have taken the advice of many and started to post a couple times about my RE wins on both IG and FB.  I use IG and FB personally with minimal use. I'm a father of 3 little boys and it's mostly pics of them or us as a family.  

I've received positive feedback from many on those RE posts, including receiving a couple emails and PMs about interest in investing with me.  So I think I can try to keep something consistent RE wise going forward.

Right now I don't have much of an interest in seeking the attention of strangers for investing, but I may in the future.  Should I be opening up the privacy settings a bit on my IG and/or FB and start using hashtags to attract the attention of those looking?  Should I be making a whole new IG that doesn't contain much personal pictures?  I don't think I'm much of a fan of having a profile visible to the public and my kids splashed all over it.

No! You have probably more money in your inner circle than you have deals. Focus on people you know well, who trust you and vice versa and who are generally easy to work with and have a matter of fact and not an emotional personality. Stay away from individuals who want to micromanage you. And know that mixing business with friends is a great on one hand, but can cast a shadow as well. The viewer investors you have the better. Be very mindful about your next steps.
