Hey Real Estate Investors! Are You Acting Like A Business?

Having been a real estate investor now for over 20 years, I’ve started to examine my methodologies and see what I can do to improve upon the way I conduct my operations. Ironically, this is something I do continuously in my real estate brokerage business, but my real estate investing has often times been “business as usual.”

So here’s a thought I had today while updating my business records on Google Places. As a real estate investor, do I want to list myself as a business on Google Places? Could this attract more opportunities my way if I had a “place on the map? Or do I want to fly “under the radar” and not make a big deal about investing in the residential market?

So consider this a “shout out” to real estate investors, have you considered becoming a formal entity on Google Places? Have you already done so? Are you seeing any benefits if you have?

If you want to put your real estate investing “business” on Google Places, here is a “how to” article that got me thinking about all of this today. Let me know what you think.
