Need to Build Bigger Network

[Terrica Carlock]

Looking for solid advice/guidance regarding building a network of buyers.  I am new to wholesaling.  I have homes in need of buyers, but am not sure how to find them.  I have advertised on craigslist and facebook.  I have also invited colleagues through BP. Maybe I'm not using the right wording for what I'm looking for in my ads.  Any advice would be appreciated.

Throw a meetup. From what I've seen investors who do it for fun as well as finance like to get together and discuss what they do. It doesn't have to be fancy or expensive (free is good), just post over in the Events section of the site. I started doing a little roundtable discussion group in my area a couple of months ago and have had an overall positive response. I think it's important for people to know that investors don't just go to REIAs to network. With a smallish group, it's far easier to network and feel comfortable, especially starting out. Plus, you never know who you're going to talk to, then who they're going to talk to, and so on. 

Unrelated to meetups, I've heard you can approach title companies (I think) and get lists, etc, but I've not done so so I really can't say. Perhaps get a list of new deeds filed the day of a foreclosure sale, that may tell you who some of the more prominent buyers are. Just some thoughts and I'm sure others will have more info, but hope this helps some!
