Networking is Crucial For Wholesalers

If you want to succeed in Wholesaling you have got to make some noise, rattle some cages and let the world know who you are. A Wholesaler that simply sits in his little neck of the woods holding his contracts in his hands excited as hell about the deals that he has locked up will never sell a single one if he don't network. Networking with investors and other wholesalers in your area is what is going to get your deals sold and money in your pocket. If you are not networking you are not wholesaling. It's that simple. Unless you are selling your deals and making money you are not actively wholesaling.

The first network that you want to tap into is the one right in your back yard. Find Investor Groups in your area and go to a meeting. Introduce yourself, give out business cards and even hand out info on your deals. Visit reiclub.com to locate an Investor group near you.

After you have established relationships with your local Investors you need to branch out into the rest of the world. The first thing I suggest is to join online networking groups. These groups will allow you to connect with people who share the same interest or even people from your immediate area.

facebook.com
Twitter.com
Linkedin.com

Now it is time to join the Investor Forums. These forums with both get you networking with Investors and build your knowledge of Wholesaling. Most of these groups have articles and online education available.

realestatedealmakers.com
Thenaked-investor.com

There are hundreds more but these are the ones that I wanted to share. I would suggest that you create a profile and add your contact number in each forum. I have found many buyers in these forums and have found them to be a very valuable asset to my success as a Wholesaler and an Investor.

Go Network and make some money!!!!!
