Does anyone go beyond social media and pay to promote their (personal?)

I highly recommend finding a successful agent that's active on social media, study their content and determine if it resonates with you. 

Maybe dm a couple people on here to interview them more in depth on their experiences or join some local social media groups to get some opinions there as well.

Hey man, I have been trying to figure out the same thing, I am going to have an event myself that is open to the public and at the interested agents and investors that would like to have an open discussion and eat/drink and meet the local circle and become familiar with one another, rather tan always being on social media!!! 

-a copy of my social-a copy of my D.L.And mail it to their PO Box in Georgia.I sent the info right away today with priority mail, as they informed me it will take them 5 days to reach a decision and then they will reply by mail.

Social media, BP, and everything virtual hasn’t changed!

Still, I understand the difficulty of overcoming any kind of social conditioning as it surrounds us everyday.

I have no experience with BatchLeads or using county tax records for contacts, but I think as a new agent you should first focus more on working your sphere of influence and build up your social media presence.

Are there any REI Youtubers or REI people that inspire you that I could follow on social media?

That said, if it is a true service animal, you could experience some social media backlash so it is good to know whether or not the tenants are lying before you proceed.
