Post a This or That question to your community feed or story and invite members to choose their favorite. Encourage quick replies by keeping wording friendly and direct. For best results, mix in these prompts between educational or business-focused content to maintain a playful, balanced vibe. You can also use the questions in polls, stories, or comment threads to reach members wherever they engage most.
For all platforms, use visuals or emojis to make your This or That posts pop. In stories, use poll stickers for quick taps. In feeds or groups, ask members to comment their choice. Always reply to early responses to keep the conversation flowing and model engagement for others.
When creating a 'This or That' post contrasting BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) with Fix-and-Flip, reference specific variables like cash flow potential, renovation timelines, financing challenges, and exit strategies. Encourage members to share real-world experiences, lessons learned, or regional considerations that influenced their preference. This approach will resonate with both new and seasoned investors seeking strategy insights.
Use prompts like 'Which investment property would you choose: single-family home or multifamily apartment?' Include follow-up context on factors like tenant management, scalability, financing, and local market demand. This encourages investors to weigh in with personal preferences and stories, facilitating peer-to-peer learning about different asset classes.
Pose scenarios such as 'For your next deal, would you prefer hard money financing or a conventional mortgage?' Highlight key considerations like approval speed, interest rates, down payment requirements, and risk tolerance. This not only engages members on financing choices but also surfaces tips and pitfalls unique to real estate investing.
Yes, these posts are highly effective. Frame the discussion around risk profiles, expected ROI, due diligence challenges, and long-term growth prospects. For example, ask 'Would you invest in an emerging market with high appreciation potential or stick with a stable, established neighborhood?' This taps into members’ market knowledge and fosters debate on current trends.
Clearly outline the pros and cons of each approach, such as time commitment, cost, tenant relations, and scalability. Set guidelines for respectful debate and prompt members to share specific experiences, such as nightmare tenants or time saved by outsourcing. This creates a constructive environment for discussing a common pain point in real estate investing.
Present realistic scenarios (e.g., 'With rising interest rates, would you sell your property or refinance to extract equity?'). Encourage members to consider tax implications, future appreciation, and personal investment goals. Prompt participants to share actual outcomes from their portfolios, which can provide valuable insight for others facing similar decisions.
