Round up a group of people that you’ve had some positive interactions with that have already made significant investments of time and money into themselves.

I look forward to posting and interacting with you all in the future as I grow my skills and portfolio.

The two events were nothing extraordinary: I chatted with a friend who had already been doing OOS (out-of-state) investing and attended a webinar on BiggerPockets for real estate investing newbies.

People are people and things can happen in businesses....it seems to happen more often to GCs and the individual trades.Because of this, investors need a solid consistent process for interacting with anyone on their team:Always get multiple apple to apple bidsGet everything in writing and in detailIf someone says they will "take care of it" ask "how much?"

A huge game changer was actually commenting and interacting to other social accounts in your space.

These exceptions can be identified in Section 6-18 of the Gulf Shores Zoning Ordinance Doc.Another tool I have found useful in identifying properties to focus on is the Gulf Shores Interactive Zoning Map.

The face to face interaction will stop more people in the scroll because it looks less like the traditional ads they are seeing every 3 posts which gives you a few extra seconds to win them over with some copy and see how long you can keep them engaged.The reason why I see campaigns on Facebook so great for Real Estate Investors is because of the Reach factor & the Retargeting.
