Nobody should be surprised, we literally social-engineered this. 

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? 

When I'm investing in trust deeds - my primary concern is the safety of the principal.

@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.

If you put any information on social media you are practicing real estate without a license.

However, the reality is that a tenant can break their lease at any time by just not paying and the owner will lose that income; so a lease is just a false sense of safety.

Social media has really messed it up for my generation.

Look up Barbara Isabel on social.

He has no social media, no pictures, no videos, no online presence, nothing.
