I want to be able to have a social media presence and connect them both.

There was plenty of time to work 60+ hours, exercise, manage real estate, and have a social life...it was easy. 

You can also buy lists from companies like list source and there are some REI software companies that have a cash buyer search feature.Best way to find motivated sellers is to purchase lists and compile lists from city and county for 60-90-120 days late on mortgage, pre-foreclosure, delinquent taxes, water cutoff, code violation, probate, divorce, high equity, etc. and mail or cold call.Other methods are driving for dollars, door knocking, wholesalers, craigslist, Realtors, FSBO sites, expired listings, foreclosure sites, put out bandit signs, billboards, newspapers, other offline publications.You can use pay per click/adwords, facebook, Linkedin, Youtube, and other forms of online and social media marketing.

Literally go through your phone, social media, email - all of it - and call, text, or DM. 

I would add market yourself through social media and share not just your wins but the struggles you have as well people can respect that and it creates the perception you're not afraid to lay it all out there!

Will keep updating and posting the project via social media.

From what I’ve observed so far, it seems that most REIs are very social, outgoing people.

The real estate prices seem lower than other major Canadian cities and it is a popular travel destination.
