How much involvement should/can social media platforms play a role in Marketing, Networking with other RE experts, investors, and great minds?

Retiree with social security income with a middle credit score around 640.

yeah man that’s really good stuff I’m screen shoting your post so I can meditate on that thought .when I got into this crazy business I was completely unaware of all the psychological stuff and shear day to day difficulty that lay ahead for me ..but it’s actually working out and every day it gets better .

She also gets social security which is off limits.

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.
