See with SEO it is all about knowing your audience and apply logic.For paid marketing, you need to know your audience AND you need to fully understand the tools of the system/platform you use for marketing.Either learn it and become the best at it, like I did SEO, or hire an expert.

But would you agree we have many tools at our disposal to weather the storm?

My two pennies as I also get this engine underway..You definitely have more than enough to start, may be wholesaling to a flipper and staying on the deal to get your hands dirty for less of a fee, analyzing deals and getting comfy with the tools, building relationships with local lending partners ( I had 6 is a good number to start with, varying banking types), learning their criteria, running different scenarios by them etc.

Pictures or videos are you best tools to keep everyone safe.

I’m assuming you started shifting more towards flips as time went on and they became more popular?

I'm sure the crane owner is a popular dude.

Buy a few different ones and rotate them around when needed.You can also get the kwikset smart locksets that can be rekeyed with the original key and a special tool that comes with the locks.
