If you have a large social network of older landlords looking to retire you might pick up a portfolio from one of them.

We weren't getting much interest on our house when we listed it through various websites (Zillow, Trulia, Craigslist, etc.) but when we opened it up to section 8 I probably received at least 10 inquiries on the first day it was listed on the social serve website which lead us to working with section 8 applicants.It made our decision even easier once we found out that at least 70% of the rent is paid for by HUD, eliminating a majority of the financial risk. 

I took about a month off from online social platforms.

Looking at this as a JOB and not a BUSINESS is one of the biggest initial mistakes people make.Successful Brokers:- Prospect for leads DAILY (door knocking, cold calls, calls to personal circle, etc)- Have a follow-up system (mail, calls, emails, texts, etc)- Allocate funds to marketing campaigns (social media, direct mail, online ads, etc.)- Have back-end systems for servicing clients and transaction coordination.- Don't spend time on "busy work".

I will post this on social media and hope to gain some traction.Truly disturbing what is happening to hard working folks in NY.

I am thinking to rent the apartment out to social housing association.

I was thinking some sort of digital approach, more so social media than SEO, but thats something I'll consider nonetheless.

Or if you do have the experience, simply make it known you are looking for a competent partner with property management experience or working knowledge on every forum, social media, meetup or platform.

@Sarah Sparks not having a social media or online presence is not necessarily the sketchiest thing.

The first thing I do is attempt to locate the owner, whether it be by phone, email, or social media.
