Now we have to have websites and be present on all forms of social media.

My agent said that they advertise on social media - but he did not and it seems they do not.

Additionally, educate yourself about real estate investing strategies such as buy-and-hold, house hacking, or even exploring creative financing options.Remember to network and engage with the BiggerPockets community as well.

Being engaged and taking action leads to great results. 

In case it helps, here are a couple of blurbs from the state's DLLR site:A Collection Agency engages directly or indirectly in the business of collecting for, or soliciting from another, a consumer claim; or collecting a consumer claim the person owns, if the claim was in default when the person acquired it.A Mortgage Loan Originator is an individual who for compensation or gain, or in the expectation of compensation or gain, takes a loan application or offers or negotiates the terms of a mortgage loan.Jamie

Leave a comment below and stay engaged as we move forward with this renovation.

Applicants can leave reviews on social media and get you a reputation as the 'anti gun landlord' even though that isn't the case.

A little about me; Mid 30's, a couple of graduate degrees, newly engaged, no children (yet), own a home in Rockland County NY, volunteer firefighter in my district, and 3 lots (unimproved) near the gulf coast of FL.

That is not the case with real estate who by sheer accident (not because they are smarter than other investors) are unable to engage in this reckless behavior.Furthermore, in private markets like RE, prices are not marked-to-market daily.

That said, of course, it need not be YOUR cash or credit.You'll want focus on partnering and fund raising at this point in your investing career.Especially, learn how to attract and engage private lenders.
