Web Marketing for Real Estate
I'd like to get some opinions and ideas on the future of real estate marketing using the internet...and how it can be applied as a PRIMARY marketing tool rather than just a side tool, which it seems like for many.

I've been wholesaling using the internet for almost five years. I used to be the only game in town locally on line but it is growing. Real Estate investors are still behind the curve technologically. I know there are a lot of courses and software available but most RE Investors I know don't have a clue so I still have fairly low competition. It beats messing with bandit signs and door knocking hands down but is not the "autopilot" "flip houses in your sleep" that it's hyped to be in some courses. But it is without a doubt one of the most "hands off" ways to make money with real estate. I rarely look at a house that I wholesale. The internet let's me negotiate and sell from my computer and cell phone "for real".
