I don't believe that will change as long as the school system and public safety levels remain some of the worst in the state.

Is there anyone they partner with here to put on US MLS, eBay, FB, all the social media sites, craigslist, land watch, land.com, etc.Who is your target buyer? 

As part of his investment of capital into scaling, he hired a marketing firm specializing in SEO, SEM, social media, direct email, etc.  

That extra cash flow isnt safety, its the market signaling with a big red flashing light, Risk.

Meetups, conferences, social media - connecting with as many people as makes sense and just discussing investing and what you do and if you found X would they be interested in investing with you.

You can also follow Richmond-focused real estate groups on social media and LinkedIn, and work with local agents specializing in investment properties to stay on top of deals.

US population growth slows and fewer new households form, which is probably not great for RE investors; and 2. the Social Security trust fund runs out.  

To me, safety is relative.

I did excessive due diligence on the company (combing through hours of BP reviews, BP forums, RTR webinars, reddit, podcasts, social media posts, connecting with other investors, etc).

It's so hard to tell if anything is real anymore that is posted on FB and social media, with so many RE "gurus" looking to make a buck.
