BP can help your REIA recruit, network, and more through our platform -- convincing the board members to get involved and to also share BP takes it to yet another level.- You're all probably on Facebook - making sure you like BiggerPockets on Facebook will help get the word out somewhat, but what would be even better would be if you went to our invite link and invited your Friends on FB, Twitter, etc. to join you here.

Investing for appreciation within a 5-10 year time frame is speculation and under 5 years is gambling since nobody can predict with certainty the ebbs and flows of the short-term market.

There are plenty of blogging platforms out there, however there are two that come to mind that I think you should be using as an agent.

For me, I'm looking for a brokerage who's got the Social Media platform on lock!

And as other posts mentioned, it should be common sense to be cordial in a business network platform, where you wouldn't want to burn bridges.

Your property won't appreciate much short term and it's a big gamble longterm so cash flow is what you would be looking for.

I think a lot of this will have to do with the type of BP member.For me being a commercial real estate broker I have massive technology I am already using for SEO.A friend of mine has his own technology company and is a broker in another state.He has sold billions of real estate.I have contact manager,posting to 50 social networking sites at once,videos,blogs,article content submissions,texting platform,unlimited websites and lead capture pages and on and on.The benefit to me with BP is to hook up with quality individuals.

:mrgreen: Ok, seriously, here's my take.There are basically 4 ways of growing your money: saving, investing, speculating, and gambling.

Are you a gambling man?

I found that somewhat disappointing, but we will see what the future brings. http://activerain.com/blogsview/1527839/equator-short-sale-platform
