The social media is something that takes a long time to build up, so when you start that is not  as important, since it never grows at the rate you expect anyway.  

Even with a letter form an employer stating how you've been work there for "x" amount of time and "x" amount of pay.If you are on commissions with a 1099, lenders will want 2 years of steady income on tax returns.If you have some other "documented" source like trust fund payments, alimony, child support, disability, social security, pension payments, 401K retirement payments, then those can be used.If you are doing something like buy and hold and you can't document your income, you might be able to find a lender that will do "stated income" loans where they take you at your word.

The decision is a no brainer unless you are a social worker operating your business as a charity.

That I should start calculating how much I will need during my retirement and a company pension plan or Social Security cannot be my sole source of retirement income.

Same thing with Social Security Disability, that's already an assistance program.

(Obviously MLS, Yard sign - but how about single-property website, text for information, open house events, paid social media advertising, home warranty, bonus for buyer's agent with an offer before [target date], etc.) 6.
