Like having the name of our place be something that's easily searchable in google. an @tag in our listing to show how to find us on social media, linking in our direct booking site etc.  

I would love to connect with you on social media and to be your connection in FL if you ever need anyone!

Something like 79% of all leads come through social media and aggregator websites.My current project is to set up a studio in my home for videos.

Is it legal for the Dept. of Social Services to demand payment on the basis that the deceased person was receiving public assistance?

I would get on social media and find an agent who will give you some time.

A written and signed statement confirming these responses can be required from a professional medical or mental health practitioner, or a social worker.

If they don't have a website (big yellow flag)/ social media accounts (small yellow flag) and a consistent presence (small yellow flag) then be more diligent, and ask for referrals. 

This way, you're setting yourself up for success down the road to not be reliant on leads.There's a ton of different methods to doing this from attending networking events, hosting networking events, activity across all social platforms and obviously bigger pockets to name a few.

But it is not so easy to find a lender without social number.

I personally recommend searching around BP (& Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn if you are on social media) for RE investors in some of those markets that you are very interested in as specific as you can find and sending them a direct message simply looking to connect.
