Any niche depends on your market, learn the market, understand what can be done, then learn to adapt strategies that solve the problem.All real estate sales is about solving a problem, it might be the turning of inventory of a 5 billion dollar portfolio for liquidity or it could be selling some little old ladies home with her moving to a nursing home.Most all the investor residential deals will be about solving some problem, real estate is a very social business, it's not like Ford moving units off an assembly line out to dealers, it's an in your face, personal problem solving transaction every time, an individual seller always has a goal and a problem getting there. 

I am most certainly not immune to these, however I consider things that involve finances to be a rational endeavor, and so my autopilot social responses would not affect the bottom line of a business negotiation.

social media?  

I like a single lease all tenants, co-signing and feel screening them via social media is probably your best defense against bad tenants.

The political/social climate is ridiculous today.

Subject to federal and local income taxes at your ordinary rate, but not subject to medicare or social security.  

Think about what landlords want: they want people to pay on time and be respectful of their propertyOnce you raise the idea of leasing the property and then selling it, then you need to sell the idea of rent to own and how you can place the right tenant buyer in their propertyHow I do this is I show them my tenant by air intake forms, I do cross of their names and Social Security numbers but the physical proof that I have buyers already helps build credibility that I know what I'm talking about I make generally 3% of the value of the property in an assignment fee doing lease-option assignmentsI might do sandwich lease option if the deal is terrific

But I'm also finding it can be time consuming and sometimes distracting from my goals - just like any other social media.Do you limit your time using biggerpockets?  

Socially ran into the managing broker at one of the local realestate office.  

Any for starting out with using social media for marketing my business and growing my network?
