We’d show up at mentors home, discuss being a realtor, then head back home after a long day of messaging people on Facebook asking if they would like to buy or sell.

We have ads posted on the usual (Trulia, Zillow,Craigslist,etc.) but we are interested in expanding into Google Ads, Facebook, etc. but not sure I am savvy enough right now to make that jump without help.Any ideas or resources you have used in the past? 

We do have a thriving REI group her in Lexington and I would encourage you to join the group on facebook.

I have sent you a PM on Facebook . . .

@Michael Nyszczot I'm using direct mail campaigns, small niche mailing lists, craigslist ads, facebook ads, bandit signs, and occasionally driving for dollars.

Good fresh paint job and cleaning.You need to get on facebook or any local real estate websites and see what places are renting for and in what condition.  

well you can thank the internet  sites like BP  late night television evangilist RE guru's webinars podcasts etc etc.. facebook.. linkdin  etc etc. and the burning desire from many to get rich as absolutely quick as possible and some irrational idea that real estate is the way.. take the bar to entry is non existent and you have a lot of beginners.the reason you have all this wholesaler activity is because the market has strengthened and they can't buy a home like they could pre 08 only way to jump in with no money is try to pimp deals.

try buying a few dollars in facebook ads and targeting your expected demographic.

If the flip is in Tampa I would love to take some photos and promote it for free on my Facebook. 

They advertise on Facebook.
