Hello Betty, in my experience, these types of prospects typically come with finance problems and or criminal problems.

Most prospects understand more is expected of them these days due to COVID concerns.

We gave ourselves a larger than normal timeline for this project as this was a part-time deal for us and needed to prospect different contractors.

I furnished it hoping I can try out airbnb while posting my rental and waiting for prospective tenants.

. $50k tax exempt - $50k 1031 exchangingLets say the new prospective 4-plex costs $500k ($375k investment - $125k owner occupied)Now I have to figure out the minimum down payment I need to satisfy the $50k threshold.My head is spinning just typing this up.

I had to scramble and get the house back on market and hire a realtor to get the new prospective tenant.

Podcasting - same thing, takes consistency and a bit of tech knowledge, and is a long term game.Basically, I think many agents are successful marketing to and getting referrals from their sphere, others seem to do well with cold calling, and even those that would like to offer valuable content via video or podcasting run into the 'start-up' hurdle of how to get started, and then consistency fails when they get busy with actual clients.Speaking at least for myself here, I love teaching on video and actually know how to do it and have often thought of doing home buyer info videos for clients and prospective buyers but still haven't done it.But, if it's something you'd actually like to do and are excited about and would do consistently, then I think it would be a great idea, regardless of which venue you picked. 

My background and job prospects tend to be SMB SAAS.Sammamish itself is far beyond my price range but in general I do like the areas surrounding the eastside tech hub (Bothell, Mill Creek, Redmond, etc.)

Any advice you have in and around locating and prospecting for clients would be greatly appreciated.
