Over the past week, a few discussions have be started by users about how they have used BiggerPockets to grow their real estate businesses. I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread with ideas.
Of course, from time to time, I'll throw in some suggestions of my own.
I simply hope to glean enough information off the experts to prevents a major mishap that would derail my growth. I would love to speak of the networking opportunities, about how deals show up in my inbox, or how I partnered with the great people I met at the Summit to put together a billion dollar development that bought each of us an island in the Bahamas... but I'm just not there yet :)

I'm always looking for notes to buy, so my reasons for being here on BP are to:
1. Find notes to buy (though note holders or note brokers).
2. Help investors and agents create notes (help them get more deals done), so they can then turn around and sell those notes to ME!
3. Find money partners for when the day comes where I come across more deals than I have capital for.
Joshua: The younger generations adapt to and incorporate new technology easier than older generations. How about a few pointers as to how the site can be used. Some people learn by reading about others accomplishments. Then there are those like myself that don't always learn so well that way, but if are shown ways to do the job - they can pick up the ball and run with it.
I use BP in my business as a way to network with other local investors. Since I started "actively" using BP (8 months ago), I've met 6 investor's from my market.
One of these investors Michael Zuber has been key in helping me develop my business model and providing mentorship.
If all goes well, I should close two deals with one of my BP contacts before the end of the year.
Combined, I can say through the advice/ mentorship I've received from the site, I've avoided losing 20-30K (walked away from a bad deal) and I have been able to add $1000 to monthly cash flow in just the past year.
My advice to anyone reading this would be, be active and reach out to other folks in your market.
