Real Estate Groups Getting Lots of Attention
Since the launch of our groups feature, our members have flocked to create or join groups meeting their interests. I thought I’d remind everyone of groups today because we just had one (the Private Money Group) pass the 100 member mark for the first time!
Who Would Benefit From Real Estate Groups?
A sampling of people who would find groups helpful include:
- Investors who want to network locally might join or create a group for investors in their city.
- Real Estate Agents may want to set up or join referral groups to share business.
- Real Estate Clubs may want to set up a group to draw new traffic to their group.
- Landlords, wholesalers, or people of some other real estate specialty may want to create or join a group designed for people sharing the same interest.
Real Estate Group Features Include:
- Group members have their own private forum
- Group founders (administrators) and moderators (set by the admin) can post news or announcements for the group, where members are notified by email and kept in the loop (you can shut your notifications off in your settings tab of the Dashboard).
- Group members can invite any of their colleagues to the group, or they can invite people who are not yet members of BiggerPockets with the email invite function. Once someone joins the site through this method, they automatically are registered as a member of your group.
- Groups allow people to essentially create mini communities within the overall BiggerPockets community.
- Group members can subscribe to discussions and be notified of new posts.
- Coming soon – group members will be able to get periodic notifications of new topics in their groups.
Real Estate Group Examples:
Here are a few examples of groups on the site – 64 Total Groups as of 9/11/08:
Out of State Investors, Lenders Place, Personal REO Investing, Bulk REO Group, Pennsylvania Investors, Phoenix, Arizona Investors, Twitter Addicts For Real Estate, etc.
