Finding Cash Buyers in Virtual Markets

[Chris Harden]

Hi Bigger Pockets members

We've finally opened escrow with our first investment property! In addition to that, another wholesaler offered to JV a deal to find a buyer together. After many lessons learned, I'm beginning to understand the fundamentals of how lead generation & conversion is about having quality conversations, and it's a great feeling! For all new investors who may read this, keep going!

For all experienced investors/ wholesalers who may read this, I'm wondering how do you network with cash buyers while in a virtual market? I'm currently living in Vegas, however the property under contract is in Northeast, Ohio. I've personally connected with a handful of local realtors in addition to calling a list of 200 investors, which yielded about 20 people mentioning that they'd like to join our Buyers list. However, most social media investor groups are filled with tire-kickers and it's tough to network at real estate auctions while out of state.

What are some other suggestions that would help grow the list of active buyers to 100, and then hopefully to 1,000?

Thanks in advance, for any advice you can share!
