did you save up the 15k or did you get friends and family to recruit your initial dp?

They also have a recruiting model that feels a little like MLM to me, but I chose not to invest any time in it. 

We use Workplace (a Facebook product) and we can call or IM her through it.A lot of people are put off by EXP agents recruiting for their "downline" (boy does that word that word make me cringe). 

Went through all the process from locating the land to permits, construction , marketing, sales recruiting local professionals as architects, lawyers, brokers accounts etc.

Three times a year Brad has the big recruitment events (the R2Rs) so the count increases. 

What do you charge for recruiting new tenants?

"Does the business make its money from new recruits or the products they sell?"

Does any one ever rent out a house to hosing program for Amy recruiter.

For the syndication, you could recruit capital into a fund (or place your own) then purchase one asset with the money from the fund.

Then, I went out and interviewed active property managers to have some to recruit when I'm ready to hire them.
