Most people could ask; what would someone fresh out of high school offer but I think you would have a fresh outlook on a younger demographic so you could offer to manage someone’s social media if that’s in your wheel house.instead of asking for people to take you under their wing try and find a need that you can fill to add value to their story.Failure is guaranteed in this business but that’s far better than never getting started and I’m sure most people here wished we got started when you did.

Connect with others and post on social media channels such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, etc. 

I agree 100% with @Eliott Elias & @Michael BrattelliI'd also recommend you make a list of all contacts from your phone, Social media, and other acquaintances.

(IE social media, carpentry, crunching numbers, etc.) 

Also 365 days of social posts was good too

Hi BiggerPockets crew:I am new to the property management space and am looking for the best influencers to follow on social media. 

If you want to build a following of potential investors, I recommend you start a podcast, write eBooks, write an actual book, get guest spots on many podcasts, work social media and more.
