Engage on social media.

Any suggestions on how to alter my strategies in order to create more consistent commercial buyer engagement?

For educational purposes, it is best to stay active here and ask questions of others, the more y9ou engage the membership here, the more you will get out of it.As for boots on the ground running, find a local investor flipper near you to learn from if they are willing.
