Hey @Christian Artuso 👋🏽I’m RE agent + investor in the Chicago and Northwest Indiana markets.

Here’s why this market is so ripe:1️⃣ Mom-and-Pop Sell-Offs at Huge DiscountsA lot of these properties have been in the same family for decades, but now the kids aren’t interested in taking over the business or the real estate.

They will know market data and trends better, have reliable comps to base their recommendations on, and could even be a great deal flow with current portfolio properties selling.The completely remote, centralized PM function is one of the reasons why you see the homes owned by PE firms sit on the market so long.

In general I have unfortunately never gotten much return on any social media marketing. 

I'm not sure what market you are in but I'm knowledgeable on Columbus Ohio if you ever want to talk about build to rent. it's not purchasing new builds at full market price, it's building it 25% below market yourself 

Property managers and agents can be really helpful as well as they’ll give you insight into the market and could have some opportunities for you down the road.In the meantime, try researching the areas you're interested in.

Quote from @Peter Tverdov: Think at least for the text standpoint it is challenging in this market now where I know personally 3 people that have been in lawsuits with one ringing in at $500,000 for cold text messages to people that did not want to be marketed to, so to @Jonathan Greene point on that for sure.I think that cold calling is a true skill that really no one (or 1%) will end up doing, and I 100% agree that VAs do not do it right..

I am an active real estate broker and general contractor here in Memphis and this is a great market for RE investing!

Could anyone share advice or insights on the market here?
