I've added a revenue manager in the last month for the STR business and am meeting with a social media assistant next week. 

Beware syndicators active on social media.

Also, as I love REI I try to focus on that as well and would love to work with some investors in order to share knowledge and learn from each other.Also, I try to provide free content to my followers on my social networks about real estate, but it's everything in Portuguese though... shame :/ Feel free to ask whatever, if I can help, I will.

Grocapitus is the most innovative syndication company I have ever seen though, so I would highly recommend attending their webinars and getting involved with them as an investor.For full transparency, his Marketing Director of Marketing and Social Engagement, Eric Bleau, has been my mentor for the past several months so I am a little biased, but, having personally been to multiple boot camps and having met several syndicators like Vinney Chopra and Anthony Chara, I can confidently say that Eric and Neal are two of the smartest, and most well-put-together players in the multifamily syndication world I've met. 

Are you active on your business profiles on social media?

You have to build a foundation of trust through your past clients, your social media presence, and your honesty and ability to educate.The problem with the agents who are here with you guys on BP is that there is nothing to say they are really investor-friendly agents.

If someone from that FB group were not on this thread, you could still be in the exact same position.Anyone that makes allegations on social media needs to be sure that they have the facts correct otherwise they could be financially liable for the consequences.good luck

They saw ahead that these jobs take a toll on you so bought RE and now live off RE in one form or another.

Thank you for your insights, I was a bit vague, honestly, I've been looking at houses since I graduated college about a year and a half ago but life was in the way, had student debt to focus on, moved to a new state with no family or friends and had to build some form of social/work foundation in my eyes when I moved from NYC to VA to make sure everything that I decide I go into the life I am balanced such that I can focus on what I want with all of my energy.I am not moving on from looking at properties, over the time I've been looking at houses I have saved, I have researched, I have made connections with real estate agents in my area, I even studied for the real estate agent test but ended up not taking it for other reasons.

Santarelli as an absolute industry expert (podcast, websites, press, social media advertisement) cause investors to have a false sense of security.
