I think we want to hook people up with good deals and not see good deals go to waste and we like to build social credit by helping others out.

Where do I find these 'deals' - door knock, real estate agents, flyers, social media, etc?

She should apply for long term social security disability and see if that shores up her income enough to qualify.The main question I have is why are they asking for a VOE at all? 

In doing so, I eventually began marketing my services and presenting myself via neighborhood social networks.

I'd recommend setting up your keyword alerts in your settings so you can be notified about posts that mention your investment market or team building within that market.Additionally, most areas have groups for investors on Facebook or other social media platforms as well - get to know folks in that market and see recommendations, and connect to buying lists.Best of luck to you!

@Kate Barry I'd encourage you and your team members to increase your social media presence!

I do believe as owners we do have a social responsibility to the communities in which we work.

Just a few thoughts: - Get a thorough inspection- Get 3-5 estimates from GCs- Pick the right ‘genre’ of GC (fourplex and smaller usually falls under midsize or smaller GCs) - Always check license numbers and if you’re repairs or more than $25k, request references/info for 3 past similar projects with pictures or check social media and reviews - Get a service agreement in place before finalizing your deal and make sure the estimates cover everything in your inspection report and nothing is overlooked so there’s not as much unexpected cost that pops up.

If you're not that social, focus on creating videos to post on Facebook, Insta or a Youtube channel.

there’s something I learned about many years ago called “habit stacking”It’s where you find something you already do every day (for this example it’s scrolling thru social while I take my morning shi…uhmmm…while I get ready in the morning), and add the new habit you’re trying to reinforce to the end of what you already do.So I just used Apple’s Shortcut app to create a BP Forum app on my homescreen and put it in my “Social” folder on my home screen.My goal is to post or reply to something every morning!
