How To Use Meetup To Build Your Buyers List
Need to build your real estate sellers or buyers lists? Can Meetup.com help?
Meetup.com has been exploding in popularity on the web. Many are using it to cultivate new groups of real estate leads and deals. How can real estate wholesalers put it to work, and grow their businesses?
Meetup
For those property investors that haven’t used it yet; Meetup.com is an online platform for connecting with those with similar interests. It is a place to curate a group of likeminded individuals, and then meetup with them offline, in reality. Given that real estate professionals rely on making new contacts each day in order to fuel their businesses and incomes, this could be a beneficial tool to add to the monthly marketing and networking mix.
Get Out and Network
If you are thinking about using Meetup in any capacity a smart first step is to sign up for some other people’s meetups, and get out and visit them. There are meetups for just about everything. There are meetups for Realtors, tech entrepreneurs, foodies, fitness, charity, and just about anything else you can possibly imagine. Attending these meetups will give you insight into what others are doing that works well, or not. It is also the lower maintenance and cost way to leverage meetup, instead of trying to manage your own. This strategy can be just as powerful, and you can join any type of meetup and reach new prospects.
Start Your Own Meetup Groups
If you want to step up and take the lead, then starting your own Meetup can be a great idea. For around $20 a month you can host your own group on Meetup.com. This can be an indirect method of meeting prospects by making it about something other than real estate. Or it can be a real estate specific meetup, like a local investors club. Meetup will help connect you with people, but expect to do your own promotion on social media, locally, and to invest in creating a good experience for attendees. Use these get togethers to generate motivated seller leads, cash buyer leads, regular home buyer leads, and to build your team of local industry professionals and referral partners. Use regular gatherings to build relationships, educate, and to help others, and you can build a highly localized power list.

"I was studying on how transactional funding works and you guys had the best and most thorough explanations posted so I could fully understand the details in back to back closing. I'd already started setting everything up but your video confirmed that I'm on the right track."
- La'Donna Turnipseed-Scott, Investor, LA
"....a few months back, I happened upon a video, on your site, regarding the use of transactional funding with Hud properties; and I found myself replaying the video over and over because of the value that I saw in the message...it actually explained the process, step-by-step on how to submit a Hud deal by using transactional funding. Once I completed the video, my initial response was to take immediate action by duplicating what I had learned from the video into real time. So I did some research on properties in a market where I knew I had buyers; and put together a hud deal. I then located a realtor able and willing to submit my bid online and within a couple of days, to my surprise, received a call telling me that I had won – my very 1st Hud bid."
