So I was thinking about applying that same mentality to this situation, and find creative means to press-forward when so many of my competitors are likely stopping or halting, due to the pandemic.From a safety perspective, to emphasize social distancing, I was going to propose that either the current owners do a video walkthrough via a live video call with us, or that they let us get the keys to allow us to do the walkthrough alone. 

Do a search for "finding off market deals" or "driving for dollars" to start learning about this technique.

We have also spent $ on social media platforms.   

.) - does anyone use these techniques to find house hack deals too? 

I’m trying to get into real estate investing my goal was to use the House Hacking technique and purchase a 3 family property live in one unit and rent out the other 2 and live rent free and then purchase a second property.

Look at the differences such as turning rental income into ordinary income you pay an extra 15% in Medicare and social security etc.

Looking up their Li and social media is a quick and easy tool.All the best.

Do you think that there is still room for using social media, and having a personal website to generate leads?

market it on social media.....and in fb groups.....create a facebook group with the name of your REIA.......put an event on eventbrite....
