Got lucky but a combination of word of mouth (I already had some rentals and i talked about that frequently to my friends), network through social media (IG and FB marketing), and then got connected with a start up company that does rent by the room and i help find the houses for them.  

People who buy a portfolio of homes in multiple regions or one region based on a thesis about market conditions (demographic, social, economic, etc.).

Don't forget to check out social media groups of investors in your area to network with and to also look for deals on here and LoopNet for deals listed by investors for your area. 

You cannot believe how little Social Security pays. 

Good Luck - happy to connect with you to talk more @iamsyedzafar on all socials.

I ended up sharing on my personal social media page (no mention of projected returns).

Every market has a handful of outstanding agents who will go above and beyond for you, if you're current Realtor doesn't fit that bill then start asking around for referrals and interviewing several.Quick tip: the hardest working and most knowledgeable Realtors are not necessarily the ones with the splashiest social media presence.

@Eduardo - the very short answer is, you need to start with a social presence, then provide content the will attract the people you want in the group, add in educational podcasts, meetups etc...or you can start a chapter of an existing group in your area..then keep with it!

Personally, I would tell her I look at all social media when doing background checks, and you have some questions.

I became a sucker for all their marketing they do on social media and email so I hired them to manage 6 of my units out there .
