Hey I'm a Novice Wholesaler In Va  I have a lot of leads when it comes to properties but running dry when it comes to buyers, what can I do online to attract more buyers, Its like I'm sitting on deals here :(

I know that commercial RE is all about the deal and less about the financial qualifications of the investor(s), however, how would you guys recommend building credibility as a novice investor?
