Social Networking for Real Estate Investors
Today’s flip tip is about how to connect with a bajillion other real estate investors, in a unique and powerful way.
In case you don’t know already, there are a couple of EXCEPTIONAL “Web 2.0″ sites that have popped up online for real estate investors.
(To which some may retort, “Web two point…wha?”)
I’m talking about social networking sites, where you setup a custom profile, tweak it out a bit to fit your personality, then proceed to connect with a myriad of folks who share similar interests, goals, likes, dislikes, etc.
Sites like My Space or Facebook…
…but instead of teenagers and old classmates, you’re making invaluable connections with other real estate investors, sharing resources, personal tips, war stories and even the occassional deal.
One of the two I personally frequent is this one.
I’ll share about the second in another post, but one thing you may want to know is that at the moment, these guys are offering complimentary lifetime memberships.
So if you (like me) really dig connecting with other investors, and using the 21st century web to do it, then I have two quick suggestions for you:
- Go setup your own profile (Cost: $0)
- Be my friend (please, wontcha be my friend?
The deal is, I think you’ll really enjoy this. In today’s market, you need all the resources you can get, and I believe social networking sites like this can be a huge asset to you if you use them properly.
And also, the other deal is (at least a little selfishly) I want to see how many new “friends” I can get in my profile all at once!
So after you setup your own profile, I’ll love you forever if you go to “Browse Members” and do a quick search for “jp moses”. Then click “Add to Contacts” and let’s be friends!
Hope to see you there!

P.S. They’ve been giving out “Live” CD’s of recorded calls with REAL sellers. I believe they’re no-charge at the moment, so you might want to check that out while you’re there as well.
