My background now is solely on IT/new media/internet (which I know I could use for my advantage since I haven't seen a decent listing site thus far :) ) and not so much in property/construction.I'd really like to know what some of the other guys that have "made it", or perhaps steps you'd take differently as a younger guy starting out with a bundle of cash like that.

I post articles all over the place on the internet and it is VERY effective.I mainly post on ezinearticles.com now because it is the most effective.I also post articles on prweb and that generates good traffic but that does cost.Don't put the same article on all the article sites.

what leads from MLS expired listings, For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) leads, foreclosures leads, Internet generated leads, sign call leads, have done for you business?

I am really a fat, old, gray haired guy; but, that fella looked good - so I decided to be him for the internet (just kidding.. it really is me).

Yes, this meduim is key for us all.Especially when it comes to the Real Estate Business.. we all need to save our time and reduce the stress and the fact that we need to travel from one place to an other..I succeed with my "buy/sell cheap lands" using proven to work Internet tactics..

I don't assume anything is for real - especially something you find on the internet!
