As more and more people began coming into my sphere I realized I was spending alot of time which I enjoyed coaching people on how to get involved in real estate and aligning them with owners directly looking to sell or other realtors.

For free sphere building, my favorite book is 7L: The Seven Levels of Communication by Michael Maher.

Opportunity Zones are designated by the government and offer investors tax benefits such as reduced capital gains taxes when buying and selling within the OZ.

Even if your sphere of influence doesn't need your services, perhaps you'll get some referrals.3) Direct mail: identify landlords in your target area, then send several marketing pieces over a period of time.With all 3 prongs, always be helpful & give away something free such as a report, listings, or analysis.

Also, the larger your capital the easier it is to purchase the expertise you need to successfully invest in areas outside your specific sphere.

And you think more guns in the hands of dink head civilians is a safe way to go.......you and totoe in the wizaed of oz have a better chance...... bunch of nim wits.

:)Also as you become more successful you can probably pull back (at least percentagewise) to some extent as you will get more referral and repeat customer work.Starting out the general advice is usually to hit your "Sphere of Influence" first to let them know you are an agent now and to consider you if they need an agent or know someone that does.Talking with other agents mailings seem to be the most effective stuff.

One big disadvantage is having to create two spheres of influence.

A comparison might be all residential real estate matters filling a 12 oz glass and finance requiring a 55 gallon drum.
