The secret to networking on biggerpockets

Is it being an dick to other members on the site? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I don't care if you are a seasoned investor or someone who doesn't even know what wholesaling is yet. Do not be a prick to others on the website. If you leave condescending remarks to a post, I guarantee you that everyone on that forum just wrote you off. If that's how you treat people in your business, I don't want to be apart of your business. If you disagree with someone's post do it respectively. Leave a good impression on people. That is how you expand and grow your network. That is how you will do deals and obtain funding from other people on biggerpockets. I had an investor, looked very experienced, post on one of my forum questions regarding a probate deal, since I am not very knowledgeable in that field. I did not reach out to him because I was working on the deal, speaking to attorneys in my area regarding the laws and what I can and can't do to get the deal done. This investor leaves another remark on the forum saying that because I did not reach out to him for advice I "wasn't taking substantive action." Moral of the story is simple. I will never ask that guy for any advice or ever work with him because I don't need people like that in my business or in my life and neither do you. Be polite and add value. Don't be a dick
