Facebook group property sourcing

Also another place to source properties is online groups , there are tonnes off groups on facebook that talk about property  , they include ones for landlords discussing tenant issues  , ones for tax issues with property ones for refurbishing property the list goes on . You could even set up a group yourself and cultivate it so that it grows and builds members , you can then without being to blunt ask members if they have any properties to sell ,  especially landlords as they do occasionally offload a property or 2 . One main rule if entering group is that you need to add value before blatantly asking if anyone has a property to sell as this will result in most circumstances to being removed from the group.

This process can be time consuming for the reasons above; you will need to add value to the group to be found useful so that if you do start asking about property for sale you are not kicked immediately from the group. Giving to the group E.G any knowledge you have that’s relevant to the group , if it is a group for property repairs recommending people you have used before for property repair , tips on DIY  type repairs , answering members requests directly with valuable answers . Once you have shown value you can start asking subtly if anyone has property to sell.

If the group is your own you will need to grow it organically by messaging people to join that have relevance to the group you are growing and as above you need to add value to the group, by adding tips and advice and encouraging others in the group to do the same this will result in a group that will be recommended, the bigger the group the more chance you will have off sourcing property and also gaining knowledge from other members on property related matters.
