Ok - well, I dropped the ball on my updates, but here are the latest interviews that are now live:- Interview with Jonathan Rivera on Real Estate Investing, Social Media & Marketing- Interview with Kevin Kaczmarek on Note Investing, SDIRAs, and Starting Out in Real EstateAnd just added today:Interview with Commercial Real Estate Investor Joel Owens on Multifamily & Retail InvestmentsI've been getting a lot of great feedback about these interviews and will continue to line up new people.

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.

I think now I realize I don't know everything about real estate, but I accept it as a learning process and I am not afraid about posting something here.Another partial reason was the privacy concern, but then I realized people disclose a lot more on facebook and other social media outlets and there's nothing to be afraid of.I would be interested to hear what other people have to say about this.

I think its important to realize that sometimes people just come to BP to belong, and they like interacting socially, and for them understanding all the fancy nomenclature and jargon that Bryan uses around here will never be in their stars.

Here are some that I came up with last night:-Self-Directed IRAs-UBIT and UDFI-Lending Environment-Legal Setup of Vulture Funds-Social Media Expert-Tax Expert-How International Investors Invest in The StatesThere is a method to the madness, but I am just brainstorming at this point.

Tiny urls to landing pages circulated via social mediaSo what is needed is:3.

Joshua is right on with staying determined and using Bigger Pockets in particular.Keep your social marketing campaigns going, most people don't realize that those are long term opportunities that grow every day they are actively used.

So if you were a Canadian living and working in China for decade+, who had invested with his college buddies in a few fix and flips in Canada long ago, and who with his local wife has owned/rented a few properties in Beijing, how would you proceed in doing REI in US?

--DaveDave - guessing you also a Canadian as you live in states but are out-of-country investor?

Are you using social media?
