You may be able to generate a few deals thru social media and your personal networks, but if you want to create a SUSTAINABLE flow of revenue, you need a system that is fueled by marketing.How much does it cost to generate a decent lead?

RE is a social business, you succeed by knowing people and working with people, especially those who work in the support areas, like Realtors, closing agents, title folks, RE attorneys, surveyors, appraisers and those in the skilled trades.

this has been a crazy, crazy ride, and it's far from over...i'm a social learner, so I'm very thankful for Bigger Pockets and all you have already taught me!

Hey, GaryThis might be a dumb comment but have you tried using other social media sites ( Facebook, Linkin, etc.) for lead generation.

The course instructors provided students with a cash buyers list shortly after an assignment we had, which was to find our own cash buyers through social networking, going to auctions to network with investors, and any other ways we could think to find leads.
