Message me on BP and we can set something up.Original BP post (check it out to see how much of a dream this was for me 9 months ago): https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/55/topics/1162005-first...Best, RyanOn a side note, if anyone's looking for a young, motivated, and incredibly knowledgeable agent in Grand Rapids and the surrounding areas, let me know and I'd be happy to connect you. 

It's located 9.5 hours of a rough mountain drive so work would be difficult until spring.  

I have a buddy that's very successful in D Class areas.He drives around all day putting out fires, getting in literal fist fights from time to time, throwing people out of their apartments or changing locks when they leave, constantly breaking the law because they are "civil matters" and he knows the tenants won't come after him, and shaking folks down for late rent.I'm sure folks in A Class areas are doing the same, right?

Only nearby city that rivals it is Amarillo (2.5hr drive north) and it does not have anywhere near the education infrastructure or $$$ inflow Lubbock has (at least not yet) with Texas Tech and associated schools, SPCC, LCU.

I'm looking to connect and surround myself with locals who enjoy sharing their knowledge and experiences, and remember what it's like starting out (especially if you've successfully taken this approach recently).

Have you noticed that your social media videos actually drive conversions, or are they just generating views?

It also fits your budget & also I know some of some above 1,300 sqft, good boned, central air, yard space/drive way space having on & off market single & multifamilies in that price range. 

Impact: Drives immediate, measurable business outcomes.

Ask your PM how often they drive by properties under management.
