I also do post to local neighborhood groups on Facebook periodically but recently have cut down on my social media dramatically (too much drama, arguing, and general hatred towards one another.)That said, when you meet someone for the first time and they say, "What do you do for a living" I've (finally) pivoted to say, "I own a small real estate business" first (instead of after talking about my W2.) 

I joined the Inner Circle this year, if that helps answer your question:). 

Kensington is one of those places that they will keep trying, but it's not coming full circle anytime soon.

If you associate his name with an article and its on a reputable website (news) or even just their social media, it's a quick google search for his name by a PM, landlord or interested LP to throw up red flags.

Real Estate is the long game, not the get rich quick theme we hear on social media. 

My idea is to offer my skills, such as social media management, painting, or assisting with various menial tasks, in exchange for the opportunity to learn the trade.

After researching further though on social media and then criminal records I found about 12 previous arrests and numerous convictions burglary, theft, criminal trafficking, molestation (don't think convicted), battery. 

I’d love to get creative with marketing without spending a ton, whether through social media, local community groups, or any other cost-effective avenues.

You also need to use your social media wisely, not as spam.

I work in the social services field and have become aware of these types of places and am wanting to learn more about them from the investors perspective.
