Networking

Networking can be a fantastic way of finding properties.

Working with investors and others at your local real estate investment club can yield extra properties per year. Some people have complained that one hour in travel is not worth going to a real estate club. If going to a real estate club made you an extra $20,000 a year is the travel and time worth it?

Having a business card and giving the cards out to everyone can be another fantastic way of networking. A simple rule is if someone is within three feet of you give them a business card. You can spark conversations at the store, mall or even hospital by giving out cards. Everyone seems to know someone that is having trouble and need to sell their home right now.

When people know that you do real estate more people help you find deals. You may even let people know that you pay $1,000 dollars if you purchase a property they suggest to you.
