Real Estate Investor Network

Real Estate Investor Network Overview of Business

We have built a network of real estate investor websites spanning approximately 300 US cities and think there is a great business opportunity for others to use similar business models.

The basic model is easiest understood when explained from a single website stand point and then expanded from there.

Imagine you create a website for your home city. The website focuses on serving the needs of local real estate investors. On the website you include actual properties that are for sale in your market that would make great investments for a real estate investor.

A primary focus of the website is to grow a list of real estate investors that might be interested in properties (and other products and services) so that, over time, you can rely heavily on your list of investors.

What if, with a well defined system for handling this business, you could then roll it out to the next major city nearest you? What if you rolled it out to the second nearest city too? You could roll out similar models to as many cities as you could handle with a very nominal additional expense.

This could be a perfect business for real estate agents and real estate brokers (even if you just did you city and the other surrounding areas that you serve).

Monetization Strategies

Depending on how you structure the business, you can monetize this in one or more of several ways including:

  • getting your own real estate license and helping the real estate investors buy the properties earning you a commission
  • getting your real estate license and referring the investors to another licensed agent for a referral fee
  • charging a real estate agent a flat fee to handle the inquiries from the website
  • putting advertising on the website
  • selling real estate courses, products or services like our Real Estate Courses, Real Estate Investor Wiki and other products and services we offer that you can earn a commission selling
  • charging other key dream team members that want to provide products or services to real estate investors to appear on the website like mortgage brokers, contractors (and other service providers), title companies

Having actually used quite a few of the above, we have some unique insight on what we believe to be the best approaches are (depending on how large you want to grow, capital and time you want to invest and your revenue expectations).

Interested?

Our expertise in many aspects of this business makes us very excited to work with someone on this preferably in a consulting capacity or even more integrated capacity.
