Pick a template that fits your group's mood or topical focus, then post it as a new discussion or as a story/poll. Encourage members to reply with their choice and the reasons behind it. Consider tagging or mentioning members to spark responses. You can also use these as icebreakers in onboarding, or as regular engagement rituals to keep your community lively.
For all platforms, keep your Would You Rather questions concise and visually clear. Use line breaks or bolding to separate the two options. On forums or Facebook, pin the question for greater visibility. On chat-based platforms, use these to kick off daily threads or quick polls. Always acknowledge and respond to member answers to encourage more engagement.
To maximize engagement across your audience, alternate between scenarios relevant to both segments. For example, pose questions like 'Would you rather renovate a single-family rental or reposition an office building?' or 'Would you prefer to invest in multifamily properties in emerging markets or retail centers in established neighborhoods?' This approach sparks discussion among investors with different specialties while exposing them to new perspectives.
Mixing acquisition strategies and financing methods keeps content fresh and appeals to investors at different stages. For example, 'Would you rather finance your next deal with a hard money loan or bring in a joint venture partner?' or 'Would you rather build wealth through the BRRRR method or stick to traditional fix-and-flip projects?' Rotating between these themes ensures all members find questions relevant to their interests.
Develop questions around current market conditions to spark timely discussions. For instance, 'Would you rather lock in a higher fixed-rate mortgage now or wait and risk prices increasing further?' or 'Would you rather invest in new construction despite supply shortages or focus on value-add properties during this period?' This shows your community you’re in touch with real-world investing challenges.
You can ask, 'Would you rather be a limited partner in a large multifamily syndication or self-manage a small portfolio of single-family rentals?' or 'Would you rather earn lower returns with less involvement or take on more risk and time for higher potential gains?' These questions help members reflect on where they fit within the active-passive spectrum and encourage knowledge sharing.
Craft questions such as, 'Would you rather invest in your local market, where you know the neighborhoods, or diversify by buying properties in a different state with better cash flow?' or 'Would you rather own one high-value property close to home or several lower-priced properties across different markets?' These scenarios invite members to share experiences and strategies for managing risk through diversification.
Absolutely. Exit strategy dilemmas are central to real estate investing. Ask questions like, 'Would you rather hold a property for long-term rental income or sell quickly for a lump sum profit?' or 'Would you rather 1031 exchange into a bigger asset or cash out and diversify into other investments?' These spark meaningful discussions on risk tolerance, return expectations, and long-term goals.
