However, what TRULY fuels my fire is seeing my dad work the night shift for the past 15 years and see how it’s robbed him of his physical and social health!

I’m also building the social media up too.

I personally use https://www.myrental.com/ for all of my tenant screenings, and while you need an email address for the Premium and Premium Plus packages, the basic package only requires the applicant’s full name, address, date of birth and Social Security number.

Also I don't understand how the other car dealerships ran your credit without your knowledge - if you walk into a dealership, how would they even have your social security number?

We live in a world where if you have subject matter expertise you can create courses that you can sell for $10 on Udemy, create a YouTube page teaching people the concepts you understand, create a social media brand around your experiences in real estate.

Andy- when you say you had the last 4 of social so you could get payoff amount; I assume you mean that made it easier?  

(I've done main social media platforms,MLS,all online listing services, open houses, following up with all realtors that show...). 

First you need to consider if you are an investor or part of the social support system. 

Adv. is stable income without the headache of constantly marketing it as B&B. and I post on craiglist, Zillow...social media...tell everyone you know.

Also since these shows are so popular you can try to remix their content and put your own twist on it so you can build your social platform.
