Quote from @Austin Wolff: Thank you for the disclaimer on "unless you live in CA or NY."

(Obligatory disclaimer that I am not a financial advisor, just providing personal perspective)I recently passed up a rental property for us because I think I have some better opportunities to put that cash to work in stocks right now with the recent market action.

First, a disclaimer.

Check out the video on YouTube @ChicagoBrieSpread the word by sharing this on social media, with your friends and colleagues, and anyone you know who could be potentially impacted by this.

I’ve found that leveraging local networking events, investor meetups, and even direct outreach through social media can help bridge that gap.One challenge I had to get creative with recently was navigating a complex title issue on a property.

TV shows and social media make it look like a fast track to financial freedom—but in reality, it's a tough game, especially in a market like Boston.Even if you have a down payment, you're likely using hard money loans at 10-12% interest for the purchase and rehab.

Also, I would get involved in as many groups on social media as possible.

(Fuzzy math--would need to see the details, all the other disclaimers...)You can use a rental agreement to offset the payment of the home you are departing for underwriting purposes on the new purchase loan. 

I've been to maybe 5 free webinars given by RE investors (most frequently posting on social media like Instagram).

FYI - with all the social media choices, all you have to do is make a plan to post the same message across numerous platforms.- You can even recycle the messages annually or quarterly!
