Quote from @Sebastian Bennett: @Jonathan Karas Did you notice Rad's social media presence appears to have gone away? 

Hi All,I'm interested in investing in social housing.

Adding some social media marketing could also be a game-changer—targeting weekend tourists or traveling professionals with ads.You’re doing a lot right.

In Nancy’s opinion, this care model, combined with the social capital of a cohousing community when properly supported with trained staff can result in quality care.

my RE income from my rentals is semi-passive of course... so less active than W2 but more active than dividends or social security.I just dont really see owning rentals as passive to me its active if your going to stay right on top of them and have them perform like you want them to ( this is specfic to owning C class low B class sFRs  Not those who might own 100 unit apartments with professional management those are passive as long as they are working good. . 

So how do I socialize the benefit of doing something like taking a 200k ADU construction loan to add $X in top line and $Y after servicing the new note, but with an increased property value etc etc? 

I had spent $3k on a mentor a couple years back and it was also a waste of money. there are some good resources and mentors out there, but some people just use social media to promote their "expertise" when in reality they just provide a bad experience, just like pace morby Truth.

Handyman Contractor Insights: These will best come from interviews or referrals from social media (friends/friends of friends) that are retired contractors or tradesmen.

@Spencer DixonRecommend 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.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I leave the marginal ones waiting, letting them know I will reach out when I have a showing date/time.At the showing, I collect their completed application (sent via PDF prior or filled out on premises), scan their photo ID and last 2 pay stubs.Then, I do some digging around online (social media, court records, Google) and if it looks like they are representing themselves to me accurately, I contact them and send them a link to do the background checks (paid by them directly to the vendor).
