I’m not much for social media, so I would not have thought about that.

If the conversation is substantial, add them on social media, collect their name, email & phone number and share yours as well. 

The reality ended up being it was a fad market, people went there because social distancing was easy and it was a new place to explore. 

As I venture into transforming a historic school into a daycare and cultural hub, I've come to appreciate the crucial role of non-profits and endowments in driving both social change and economic growth.Behind every successful non-profit lies a strategic investment framework.

So many info in social media and in BP. 

More importantly... by paying yourself from your rental income, you are converting passive income into earned income, subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes.

Feel free to connect with me here on BP or on social media.
