@Ben Barbour I appreciate the tip, thank you so much, I definitely see the amazing things that come from social media, and using it to grow in real estate seems genius

I have found less tire kickers on LinkedIn versus other social sites.

The initial walkthrough we do includes confirming the number of spaces, the general condition of the utilities at each space, the status of the home on each space (POH, TOH, vacant, RV, etc.) and the condition of the rest of the park and amenities (roads, clubhouse, office, pool, etc). 

Hi John,I think assessing your interest, time, resources and financial status certainly is a good place to start.

As such, we wanted to reach out to everyone for recommendations for especially contractors and wholesalers in the area, but also a good property management company and possible lenders would be appreciated.We also would like to know if anyone are arranging meetups in the area, and would like to meet up for informal social networking.

Self Advertising: Business Cards, Social Media Posts, Mailing post card styled ad to renters/people looking to buy, and mailing hand written notes to past clients.Business Cards: Hand out after conversations, put out in local stores/restaurants (after receiving permission) and put in all flyers/ads/notes mailed.Social Media Posts: Put out helpful information and use colorful images/texts to get peoples attention.Mailing Post Card Style Ads: Will advertise that you're willing to help new clients.

Now that you know what the tenant looks like, you can use social media to find out further information about them.I wish you the best!

you can network with wholesalers.You can purchase lists and compile lists from city and county for 60-90-120 days late on mortgage, pre-foreclosure, delinquent taxes, water cutoff, code violation, probate, divorce, high equity, etc. and mail or cold call.Other methods are driving for dollars, door knocking, wholesalers, craigslist, Realtors, FSBO sites, expired listings, foreclosure sites, put out bandit signs, billboards, newspapers, other offline publications.You can use pay per click/adwords, facebook, Linkedin, Youtube, and other forms of online and social media marketing.

Sam, You forgot to include your Social Security Number...

In all social media, your strategy and goals are what are most important.If you had 300 Twitter followers who were local investors in your market, and who you regularly did business with, I'd say you were in a MUCH better position than someone with 25,000 followers that were just random folks.Social media isn't about the number of people you're connected to, but the quality of relationship you forge with those people.That's why the top posters on BP are typically finding the most success from our site -- they are forging the strongest relationships.I really believe that you must have a strategy on Twitter or any other social platform or you're just spinning your wheels.
