I plan to create a website, do SEO, PPC ads, blog, tons of social media marketing, email list, etc.

I’m not on social media.

some in the states would be smart enough to figure that out others would be clueless that's why resident hotels do so well they charge by the week.Also cant answer why we have war zones.. could be there are 1 billion guns in the US.. could be so much reliance on social welfare could be there are just lawless people.. don't really know the answer.but it is regional.. and normally started in Urban core settings.. and becomes less acute in smaller towns through out the US>. 

Especially now since mexico is going through a diffcult social/security crisis..On the other hand, I would love to hear about your investment experiences and projects.

I am glad you mentioned the social media strategy which is the trending these days. 

Expose the agent and broker on social media, which I normally wouldn't recommend, but you actually have indisputable proof. 

If the politicians haven’t spent by social security I might actually receive some of that too!

It is filled with elder people on social security.  

However, we still want to be fairly close to good social activities and fun in Raleigh.

Unless you have a legitimate reason like social anxiety that would prevent you from showing apartments or interacting with tenants or you make an absolute crap ton of money at your day job and your time is better spent focusing on that, there is no reason you shouldn't manage yourself initially.
