Social media folks push that they're "retired" but still run podcasts, sell courses/books/seminars, post daily content, etc... so still actively working. 

I see all these gurus on social media encouraging out of state Section 8 rentals in places like OH, MO, etc.

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone would be able to share some insights on growing a social media presence.

I believe this social media post summarizes most who entered the multi-family space as syndicators in recent years. 

@Evan Loader Not sure if you've tried these methods but i would try going to your local multifamily investor meets up, attending larger multifamily conferences and networking with Sponsors on social media platforms like BP and linkedlin. 

If the rents end up being taxable in the organization, they'll actually be subject to maximum income tax rates very quickly - much faster than if you just did this personally.There are groups now starting with "socially responsible" investing - effectively a standard partnership/syndicate that is "investing for good" - that would likely be a better structure to avoid 501(c)(3) headaches in a for profit venture.  

I always suggest spending a few months following several people on social media, that started a mastermind/STR course.

I envision this relationship as a two-way street—I'm eager to offer as much value as possible, like identifying potential properties for investment or helping with digital tasks (like websites and social media).I've recently set up my LLC here in South Carolina, but I'm somewhat unsure about the next steps, like where to find private money, locate properties, or structure owner financing for multifamily units.

But if they are truly confident in your success and the value of their course, I would imagine they would WANT to invest in your deals, introduce you to known LPs within their circle, and even co-sign loans (if and when needed).  

The younger they are, the more important a social media search is.
