Here is what J Scott had to offer on Zuck's quaint alternative social media site. 

Hi BiggerPockets, I'm an EE or ECE (Electrical Engineer or Electrical Computer Engineer) with a background in computers and electronics, as well as some software such as C++, Python, MATLAB.I've dabbled with software such AutoCAD for drafting in 2D, not in 3D yet, though.Subscribed to IEEE Magazine, Electrical Contractor Magazine, for both electronics and contracting know how.How to best get my career in real estate started to make passive income?

Hi Matthew, start with any free resources we have like social media etc. follow industry leaders and maybe you might interested in my book happy rich and healthy book not just for real estate but also start building wealth without sacrificing your health.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Come to find out his wife's dad had a career in real estate, his friend works at a firm as a private lender (that's how he got started), the houses were 50k houses and half of them were trailers...His personal house, while large was in the middle of nowhere...You can see the focus shifted from real estate investing to social media marketing.

She was being diplomatic and didn’t say specifically it was me and the other Multi Family Mindset student but we got the impression he was trying to get us pushed out of it so he could move in and get a bigger percentage.A month or so went by and then next thing I know we had to learn by a social media post that my Multi Family Mindset coach had a new deal with the two former students who we had partnered with on this same deal.

The market/media perception of this is so skewed it boggles my mind. 

It's mostly sales, good communication, and social media in today's world.

I'm going to increase my networking next year as well as getting my branding and social media machine going.

Deals posted on social media are not off market they are on a different market.
