Using LinkedIn to Find Investors

[Corey Taber]

I am curious as to how everyone markets their personal real estate business on LinkedIn. We currently own/manage 4 units and will have a few more by the end of this year. We are getting to the point where friends/family/etc are beginning to express interest in financing deals and it would be great to begin garnering the same interest via LI. My question- how do you showcase your success as a small/medium investor to grab the attention of a professional network full of potential investors? Additionally, what can a young investor do to demonstrate credibility on a social network in lieu of years of experience?

Follow up question-what do you list as a title/name for your small RE business when you have an LLC and do not want to call yourself "CEO" or "President" of ABC Properties? It would be interesting to hear some opinions. Thanks!

I am still trying to figure out what the use of linkedin is. I guess if one is selective with the list of contacts there is an implicit vouching of someone's credentials. My personal experience is that I am mostly contacted by headhunters through Linkedin.
