I wanted to put bandit signs out or start a social media campaign.  

They enjoy the social aspect of people coming from all around the world.

I also would like to find a group here in Houston to begin socializing and learning from others in this Industry. 

Section 8 is better suited to C class properties with lower social standards.

I mean just look at rip off report for much less things.. like hey this retail company sells luke warm coffee  LOL.. here you have people taking loss's in the thousands to multi thousands and really not a lot of them are doing much unless there is a behind the scenes things going on like maybe a few of them have banded together and lawyered up and the lawyers are saying stay off of social media.. that type of thing..

To grow my business I have done seller lead ads on FB, we use Kunversion, which is Lead Generator/CRM and I market to my sphere through mailers/handwritten cards/social media/phone calls & texts/ email. 

SE tax is made up of two parts...social security at 12.4% and medicare at 2.9% - social security is maxed at $127,200 on net earnings for 2017.All in all, this should be discussed more in-depth with your CPA or local accounting professional.

I know it sounds strange but i believe that true education comes from learning from wiser more experienced people and has a social aspect.

Since I have found this awesome social media network back in February, I have listened to almost all of the podcasts, have read many books, and spent a lot of time reading the forums/blog.

If you run a few searches of the forums you will find answers about "wholesaling" real estate here in Canada and the challenges and differences in comparison to the U.S.A.In short, the act of wholesaling is more or less the same - though depending on how you try to conduct yourself you could wind up on the wrong side of regulations/laws.Your biggest differences come in lending practices, market size and social attitudes.
