Or a LinkedIn where you gain influence by having people connect to you.

If you are not actively sending them deals and just want to stay in touch then using Linked In, Google or some other more "professional" type of social media works. 

This platform would allow those in the industry to Meet, Chat, Connect, Share and Learn- A combination of Linked-In, Facebook and Meetup but  more locally focused than national/worldwide. ex: For state of Georgia/Nevada/Texas/California ONLYSince Real Estate is a local industry, this will allow people to network locally and ultimately help each other complete work and get things done. 

. :-)My thoughts are to start a Skype group, Facebook group, LinkedIn group or any other way to connect on a regular basis and share our thoughts, deals, tools, connections, etc.

I am marketing to potential buyers from sites like Linkedin and some private groups out there.  

I'm on FB and linked in as Barbie Rede if any one wants to connect that way. 

I have been combing the net for the best competent, productive results, quality, as much as possible automated quality lead generating systems out there marketing on the most powerful sites effectively (FB, Youtube, G +, Linked In, Twitter, etc.  

I've got about a million LinkedIn connections and most of them I don't know and cannot really leverage, so I see less value in that.Thank you everyone for the replies!

Get it under contract with an option period, then test the market.Put it out at 35k on local real estate investor boardsSend it to other local investors you connect with on LinkedIn or here.Drive the area and call any and all "For Rent" signs (looking for landlords... its ok if you are calling an agent... offer to cut them into the deal with 3% if they have a cash buyer).Put it on Craigslist.If 35k is a deal, you will get calls... if its not, you won't... then renegotiate for a lower price or excercise your option and terminate the deal.

Be ready to potentially do a trial by error and understand nobody is perfect or has all the answers.Search local investor clubs like REI Clubs, facebook, youttube (I actually saw some folks in my area I definitely need to stay AWAY from), linkedin, and oh by the way you can do a search for people in your area on BP too!
