I've worked with my mom's company doing digital marketing through web design and social media management.

Working for 45-minute stretches (give or take) instead of for hours on end will ultimately allow you to clear your mind, grab an occasional snack or meal, and stay energized to meet your goals.Social Media DistractionsThough it may feel like staying plugged into our social media accounts is a necessary part of our jobs, the constant alerts and updates just drain our time and energy.

With multifamily, that risk is spread across multiple units.If you eventually want to use OPM to purchase multifamily, having a proven track record investing in MF on your own is a huge plus.

I recently did a deal over there with a great spread, but it was not an easy find.  

We are a professional PM company who has clients from all over the world, who has not seen their properties nor met us in person, but we treat every client the exact same way; we give them the best spread, greatest renters, provide excellent maintenance, and as many reports as possible.

I'd certainly like to help spread a little more pain back his way.

Have you created a proforma, a spread sheet factoring the anticipated expenses?  

As long as you don't spread yourself too thin and don't need to sell during the bad times, you should do okay.As a side note, I wouldn't trust anyone who tells you its a good time to do anything if they make money when you do it.

Maybe you need to focus more on social media marketing in your area (Facebook, Instagram, etc...) or maybe you need to expand your reach and look at other markets slightly outside your area.3) Maybe try finding someone to partner with who has done a couple deals so you can at least get part of the pie. 

So, my goal is to transition most of my bookings to my web site directly, with the help of Facebook, Google, and social media in general.
