I'm currently in the process of getting my real estate investing journey underway. For reference, I own the house I live in and I'm on the hunt to purchase a multi-family rental property in the near future.
I feel that social media (i.e. Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) could be a great way to network and communicate with an audience interested in real estate investing. Since I have not begun buying rental properties or performing major rehabs I feel that I don't have valuable content to produce on these platforms. Does anyone have suggestion for how a new real estate investor can generate value on social media?

You can definitely talk about what you're learning...as someone starting out, you'll likely be learning something new every day. A quick one minute video talking about it will start planting the seeds for down the road.

You can give back to the community by sharing your journey. Be one step ahead of what you plan to do and then reflect on it once the step is completed. My suggestion is to pick a social media based on your target audience. For instance, if your target audience is millennials, then it should be either IS or Twitter.

@Alina Trigub Thanks for the advice! I think it's a great idea to paint a picture of the journey from a new real estate investor to an experienced real estate investor.

Well as someone who earns the majority of his living via social media I can tell you that the best thing to do is just tell your story. Everyone has to start from somewhere. I think you'd be surprised how well people are drawn into others who are out there doing what they do, making mistakes and being honest about their journey. Don't try to look like a hot shot. Try to look like exactly what you are, a dude who's brand new to the business who is ready to get his hands dirty and screw some stuff up and grow while learning from said screw ups.

@Cody Richard be genuine and authentic, and use BiggerPockets as much as possible. I wouldn’t get overly concerned with stuff like Facebook, Instagram and so forth. I don’t have Instagram, i don’t have Twitter, I don’t post anything about real estate on Facebook. It works for me
