I have a presence on linkedin and also connected investor.

Not the guy who has a master's degree in finance and currently works for LinkedIn. 

Although we started with a fair sized base of investors whom had been investing with me previously, we expanded our base by my engagement on BP, LinkedIn, and my presence on various real estate investing sites, as well as articles and books I’ve written.

I literally get hundreds of emails, voicemails, text messages, Slack messages, BP messages, LinkedIn messages, Facebook messages, etc.

In 90 days business owners can obtain $100k to $250k in unsecured business lines of credit themselves.Follow these simple steps:1) Establish a strong internet presence for your company by listing it on at least 15 sites-- Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Scoop It, Bing, Manta, 411, Google+, Google Places, etc.2) Purchase a certificate of deposit and borrow against it (now you have a secured loan ).3) Make regular deposits into your business checking account for 90 days to establish a favorable bank rating.4) Add higher level trade references to Dun and Bradstreet to provide depth to your Paydex Score (net 30s are usually lower amounts; you'll need higher approvals from your trade references-- 2k to 4k).5) Upload your company financials to Dun and Bradstreet to complete your file and create a strong credit profile.6) After 90 days apply for unsecured lines of credit.

I read this article earlier this week and posted in on LinkedIn.

Also on LinkedIn Thank you-Ed

I'm curious to hear what others in real estate have to say about this issue, because I'd like to start using social media effectively as it applies to real estate investing.My day job is doing lead generation for B2B companies using LinkedIn, and their biggest struggles are: cutting through the noise, getting clear on their messaging, finding their prospects on social media, creating systems/metrics to track what's working and not, and having someone to actually implement their strategy for them. 

I plan on becoming much more active within the BP community and am welcoming to all advice, colleague requests, or Linkedin invites. 

Twitter and Linked-In I'm not so impressed with.... at least not yet.
