Networking - How to stay in touch?

[Bastian Kneuse]

Hello BP community! As I am networking with other real estate professionals, I came across a problem that I did not see coming. HOW DO YOU STAY IN TOUCH? There are so many wonderful individuals on this forum, who bend-over-backwards to help a newbie and provide advise and insights. It is very easy to initiate a first conversion. Simply send a request and ask for a few moments of their time. Most gladly accept. The conversations are usually fantastic. But how do you manage to stay in touch with that person, particularly if you are out of state? The standard advice I receive is "meeting up for a quick coffee" - does not really work for out of state, "send them regular emails with useful information" - not very practical, etc. I am curious how others handle this?
