The fourth strategy for surviving and actually thriving in a slow real estate investor market is to expand your horizons. Meaning get on the internet and use it to your advantage!

So where do you start? 

Try these ideas:

• Go to meetup.com and start your own group. Name it "Investors Group of (your city)." You will attract investors you would never have reached otherwise
• Get on the discussion boards and post anything you want to share. Doing so will plant seeds today you will harvest later. This is basically shameless self promotion that works!
• Send email blasts to your buyer’s list, investor list or any other list of emails you have. Promote what you have that will benefit them.
• Use Blogs and Podcast. Active Rain is a great one for the real estate field
• Add videos to your website and youtube!
• Join Linkedin.com and interact with other professionals
• Add your listings to kijiji.com – craigslist.com and heartsmartproperties.com to get tons of free exposure
• Use Skype to interact with other investors!

This is just a start to what is possible on the internet. Expand you reach and dive in now. It will pay huge dividends later.
